    Don't go back.

    Couples who CAN make it work DO make it work.

    Regardless of who was at fault here, the fact is that you were NOT happy so you left him.

    This isn't going to change. HE isn't going to change (lasting change takes years, even decades, of dedicate emotional work on ourselves).

    Let him pay the bills. Tough luck for him.

    If he valued you .. if he LOVED you .. he never would have cheated on you. He would have done everything he could to ensure you felt valued, loved, and he would have avoided any chance of hurting you.

    Expect to have some hurt, some "withdrawal symptoms" for 4-8 months. This is natural. If you are not completely over him a year from now, talk with a therapist to learn HOW to get completely over him.

    Einstein defined "insanity" as doing the same thing and expecting a different result. This applies to breakups as well. Don't for a minute consider going back. You owe him nothing, but you owe YOURSELF a happy life, and you will never find that with him.

    Tell him to get a roommate.

    Laugh in his face and then cut him off from contacting you in any way. That should send the right message.

    Once you broke up with him, he became from to date and have sex with anyone who agreed to do those thinbgs for him.

    The fact that you do not grasp this suggests that you have major control issues, and should get professional counseling to deal with them before you get into any other relationships.

    If he broke up, and he was cheating on you, then move on.

    He's not cheating on you because he's not your boyfriend. Just don't take him back. Problem solved.
