I'm here seated at my friend's residence contemplating my options after this life shattering event that has taken place. I can feel my heart sink and am overcome with sadness. This person who i thought i knew well puts a dagger in my heart and I'm expected to be fine. I'm 21 and spent the past 6 years with a girl. We were happy or so i thought. We're both doing alright in our careers.

There was a path we were treading towards stability and someday starting a family. I'm told that on a recent work trip she installed a couple dating apps, met multiple people and engaged in casual sexual partnerships. I'm crushed. And what's worse is that it wasn't unique to this trip. She has been doing this for a while now. I'm losing my composure and don't know how to respond.

This girl was my confidant, my love and she chooses to abandon everything for a brief adventure. I asked her friend what could've cause this since i didn't have it in me to confront her. And her friend tells me that i shouldn't be too perturbed and dismissed me saying that 'it happens'. She tells me that my lack of aggression, masculinity was repulsive and i was just a wallet for her.

At that moment itself I stormed out of there. I'm sickened and feeling shame because i wasn't enough. I've been sobbing and have my head's aching like it'll explode. Help me please.
