I [33 M] have trouble trusting my partner [34 F] of 10 years due to her repeated lies and omissions

I read this entire thing and honestly had to reply to this. And please don't bash me I am honestly trying to help or at least give information. So I read this and almost cried. I have in many ways acted out when my BF broke up with me although nothing close to this extent though. He would break up with me, I would feel lost and lonely, thrown out like garbage, disregarded I mean the list goes on. My acting out was always when we were broken up ALWAYS! I would never do anything even questionable in a relationship. But, being separate now by his choosing not my own I would hang with people who weren't the best...not harmful just people who are not the brightest and have nothing going for them and are self absorbed. I had sex with someone I shouldn't have because I was longing for someone to care after feeling thrown away and insecure. It lasted literally two min,shirt never even came off, and I didn't enjoy it at all. Before I could even say stop it was over. I went on a dating site two time when we broke up the first time just talked to people...nothing sexual or anything just talking...I liked the attention. The second time I did go on a date and it was extremely weird. Like quiet all dinner than left and forced myself to hug the guy cause I felt bad. And I was on FB and a car forum just trying to get attention again nothing sexual just attention hungry. Everytime we ended up getting back together for whatever reason. An deverytime a little piece of what we had disapeared. The latest thing was he broke up with me and literally we lived together didn't speak, didn't hang out, nothing just two people living together. I couldn't handle being depressed and feeling thrown away and wondering why am I doing this to myself. I spoke to people and they all said run for the hills this is never going to change...never. So I tried to explain to him that if it stayed this way I would move. I had lunch with a friend who I was talking to about the situation who asked If I talked to him and I said yes many times she said ok well do what you want to do and I will support you either way. I a few days later called and said hey can I move my stuff in and she said yes. It was quick not well thought out and I felt like it was the only option left. I was wrong...I missed him and home and the dog it didn't feel rite. So I moved back in and were together but, there's just about no relationship left. It makes me sad a lot because I feel at fault but, I felt how I felt. I can't imagine even being with someone else or caring about someone else like I do with him even though when we weren't together I freaked out and it doesn't look like I care. I am just saying that there's usually something lacking and you should find out what that is with her, maybe go to counseling together or separate and find out why she engages in this behavior. If you have had enough fair enough but, you wouldn't be posting here if you weren't looking for guidance. I am just trying to give something insightful for you from the other perspective. Now I am not her and you are not him but, I feel like you haven't given up because there is a reason under all this BS. Find out what it is. I honestly wish you the best of luck with whatever you do and whatever you decide and hope that my ...long story gave you some insight to something pertaining to your situation. And fyi my BF has given up he says he wont deal with me because I have shown who I am.
