CMV: The best way to beat the cheating spouse/dating game is to take a break from it entirely.

I've recently wrote this in a comment to a post in other sub and after getting many interesting comments I've decided to repost this here for further discussion. So here it goes:<br><br>I've been single for 6 years now, had a cheating spouse (which is a common thing in the US) and decided to completely focus on myself and overall well-being, took a break from dating entirely. After being betrayed I felt so low and overall worthless that It was hard to focus on anything and working out helped me to get back on track. <br><br>I've noticed that a lot of people are putting too much emphasis on finding a new partner, which can be depressing when you can't find anyone. It's so much easier to help yourself instead of constantly fighting with overall dating attitude.<br><br>I'm not saying that you should never date, but it's really important to start taking care of yourself before starting to date again. A lot of people start dating right away when they've been betrayed which can lead to self destruction and is overall depressing.<br><br>Edit: I'm not saying that you should never date at all. What I'm saying is that you should take some time to focus on yourself, start working out and take a break from other stuff. It's so much easier to be happy when you're single and overall satisfied with your life.
