Why am i still missing her after the breakup?

Author

I've really been struggling with this breakup lately and if anything I miss her even more now. I truly loved her and saw a future with us. I fought for the relationship begged chased and held onto hope until I finally realized there was nothing left to fight for.
When she ended things she told me she still loved me that I was a great partner and that maybe we'd reconnect one day. Then not long after I saw her out with the same guy she always told me not to worry about. I confronted her because I was hurt but somehow the entire breakup became my fault. After that I blocked her because I knew arguing would only keep reopening the wound.
I thought I was finally starting to move on until a mutual friend told me something that completely blindsided me. They said she had been talking to multiple guys and even worse that she had cheated on me while we were still together.
I honestly didn't see that coming. I thought she had just moved on after we broke up. Now I'm left feeling shocked disappointed and confused. Part of me doesn't even know what to believe anymore.
Has anyone else found out something like this after the relationship ended? How did you deal with it?

I personally haven’t, but it happened to someone close to me. her ex broke up with her with some excuse, and then was seen a few weeks later dating someone new. she was initially upset how quickly he moved on considering they were together for over 12 years. then months later, she found out that he had actually been cheating on her for months with that person. she was furious and hurt. what helped her was that their mutual friends all eventually found out what he did (she didn’t tell them, she didn’t want to sway them) and they all basically stopped being friends with him because they couldn’t believe what he did to her. so she no longer had to see him at mutual events, hear about him, etc. I think that distance is what helped. I’m not suggesting to ask your mutual friend to not be her friend, but maybe asking your mutual friends to not mention or bring up things relating to your ex could be helpful? explain that you are trying to heal from this.
