Is it possible to have been in love with someone?
But they didn't love you? I mean you dated for years or whatever. They told you they loved you but had 3,000 women on the side. But you were deeply in love with him? How is it possible for you to have loved someone who didn't love you?

He might have loved you in the best way he understood. Compulsive cheaters are very confused people who often are no more honest with themselves about their feelings than they are with anyone else.
They lie so much that pretty soon nothing seems real to them, its all just a blur of self indulgence and usually a lot of pain as the women they are with are never happy and are always knowing that they don't have all of the man they so desperately want.
He probably did love you as best as a damaged person can and no, you aren't bad or stupid or foolish or anything for loving someone who doesn't love back they way you are entitled and need. It happens.
What you need to think about is what it was about him that attracted you to him so you don't repeat that mistake again, cheaters have distinctive behaviors and personality traits that many people are drawn to like moths to a flame. If you don't want to be another who suffers under the heat of that fire, figure yourself out a little better; but don't blame or shame yourself.

Yes. Just because you love someone doesn't mean they have an obligation to love you back.
