Top 3 Tips To Regain Self-Esteem After Being Cheated On

Cheating is a tough pill to swallow.

No matter how close you are to the person that cheated on you, hearing them say they lied to you and did something dishonorable is hard.

While having a relationship that goes south on you is never fun, once you get through the initial devastation, it’s time to start working on recovering your self-esteem.

So, here are some easy ways to help you get started on the road to rebuilding your confidence and self-worth after being cheated on.

1. Don’t blame yourself

If you’re in a relationship, you’re probably going to be blamed for everything and anything. The most common excuse is “you should have known better.” But this is a fallacy, of course.

You can’t see into the future and know everything that will happen in your life. So if someone cheats on you, it’s unfair to blame yourself for it. It’s their fault, not yours.

2. Don’t feel bad about yourself

You may be used to being the one who always does the right thing, so being cheated on can feel like a betrayal of trust and a huge slap in the face.

You’ll feel guilty if you think about everything that went wrong with your relationship after the betrayal occurred.

However, identify your feelings and don’t let them overwhelm you completely. You’re not alone in this situation, and everyone goes through similar feelings when they’re cheated on.

The most important thing is that you don’t let it define your life or make you bitter towards other people. It’s OK to feel sad or angry at first but try not to dwell on it too much because it can only make things worse in the long run.

3. Regain your self-esteem

It may be tempting to think that if you’d done something differently, this would never have happened. But it’s important not to beat yourself up over it and try to figure out who “should have” done what.

If you start blaming yourself for being cheated on, you’ll never get over this and will only make things difficult for yourself.

Instead, focus on using strategies to enhance self-esteem by focusing on practicing a positive subconscious mind in your life — like how much fun you had together or how great he is for you as a person — rather than dwelling on all the negatives of being cheated on.
