My [27/f] girlfriend of almost eight years cheated on me last night with a guy that's good friends with her best friend.

You don’t stay with cheaters. You just don’t. If you do then you have no one to thank but yourself for your stress and anxiety. Cheaters don’t change unless there’s a big reason, like loss of money. Rarely do they stop and even then it’s going to be because it’s a marriage and not dating. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together, how much you say you love them. There’s no respect from the cheater, none. You stay, you’ll continue to get hurt. I’ll never understand why staying is an option when dating. Completely foolish. Too many people with low self esteem, I guess. But low self esteem doesn’t mean you deserve to be hurt. Be smart and get away from her
