Being betrayed in such a way is such an awful blow to anyone. Unfortunately, when you are in love with someone it doesn't just stop because they are mistreating you or doing something that isn't right. Trust me, I know.
I used to think that me and my ex-fiancee would get married and live the rest of our lives out together with each other, but it wasn't so. I had to leave her because she was abusive and as soon as I was in a halfway house to escape her abuse, she was in the next woman's arms. It hurt really bad to see that since I was really in love with her, no matter how badly she treated me.
That, for me, was about 3 years ago and it still hurts sometimes. Although when I'm in this kind of position I get into other relationships to ease all that pain, when I'm alone I think of her a lot.
I think in time the pain will begin to lessen but you have to grieve the loss of this relationship first.
Hang in there and take care.
