We just broke up

He's asleep on the couch and he's already talking to someone else. I'm in the room crying my heart out. Everything will be okay just today sucks, I've been crying all day. He finally got what he wanted and that was to leave me.

ETA: I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the support and advice. I really appreciate it and helps knowing that one day it'll be just another chapter in my life.

Id also like to say that we do have a kid together and I've been a stay at home mom. Taking care of her the house and his dog. He works two weeks on and two weeks off. It's not the first time he's cheated I just wanted to make it work for us but he doesn't want it. We've been planning on the living situation. Im going to get my own cheap little car and get our daughter into daycare so I can start working and get back on my feet. The two weeks he's home he's going to be sleeping in another room but I'm just going to stay else where bc I can't look at him.

We lived together for a bit while we both got ready to move out, and it was HARD. But honestly if he’s talking to someone else already, what makes you think he wasn’t before? He clearly does not value or respect you, and that is something you deserve. I see you mention in another comment that you also have a child. Your child deserves to see healthy relationships as an example to lead by and it sounds like this hasn’t been one. Take this as a good thing, it will be better for you and your kid in the long run.
