Girlfriend emotionally cheated What should I do?

We had been dating for 4 years, all through college and we lived in separate cities 2 hours away from each other. I would spend 3 days at her place every 3 weeks

After graduation we both got jobs and have been working a lot. So on September 19th her and I got into a massive fight, where she says that she wants to break up and she wants to get to know this guy that is at her work more.we end up talking through the fight and I went over and spent time with her at her place that weekend and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

the very week after I had a gut feeling she was hiding something as she started saying she loves me every 5 mins. she said she met her friend kayla out for lunch (it wasn't her) and she just stopped texting me.

fast forward to Wednesday a week after I had the gut feeling she calls me and tells me the following "this guy and her started flirting at work and started to make plans and hang out, he was telling her emotional things like (ill take all your problems and ill take care of you) things like that. She said for a week she had been planning to leave me for this guy, but last moment they both decided not to do it. her reasoning was that I didn't look right (attractive) and that there was distance between us and that's why she did it.( I said it was because she wanted a bf for convenience but she didn't admit it to me or say I was right about it until 2 days ago.

Update:

we have been fighting and saying mean and horrible things to each other for the 2 weeks since this happened.

Today we both apologized and she said she does feel bad and remorseful for what shes done, but my family says to leave her and never look back.

I flip between hating her and wanting to give her a chance, and I just don't know what to do. this is my first love, first real relationship and never went through a breakup like this.

    These are common lies that cheating girlfriends use when they decide it's your fault that they want to cheat on you. This one's behavior is extremely likely to repeat over and over until you extract yourself from this abusive relationship.

    Obviously dump her. She betrayed the relationship.

    She is done with school, has a good job and is ready to settle down. She is now checking out what is available and realizes you might not be the right guy. I would have thought after FOUR years of college you would have proposed to her and arranged to get married after graduation but obviously you did not do that. So just how much longer do you expect her to stay on the string with no firm commitment from you? I think you missed your opportunity.

    What do you want to be happy or self righteous? Who does she want? You and to work on ur currently shitty relationship, or him and a new start? If she picks you she must drop him. If you love her, forgive her. IF she drops him and really wants you. You need a good clinician too. Therapy is a great tool. Use it.
