How do I stop blaming myself after being betrayed by a partner?

[Anonymous]

My friend told me she found my partner of 3 months on Hinge. Sent me screenshots of the profile and everything. I know 3 months isn’t long but we were good friends and very close. I feel so heartbroken. It’s not an old account because there’s updated pictures and information. He’s been extremely distant lately and asked for space after I asked him why we haven’t seen each other in a while. It’s made my anxiety go through the roof but I’m giving him space and it’s been 4 days. I know I should be upset with him but I’m pointing the anger towards myself. I feel stupid, I feel used, I feel pathetic. I feel like if I was less sensitive, more exciting, better in some way that this wouldn’t have happened. These are not thoughts I should be having. It’s not healthy.
I know I’ll get over it eventually but my heart hurts so much. I haven’t talked to him in several days and I don’t know how to bring it up. I just want this to be over and I don’t want to feel sad anymore.

Him being on Hinge is about his character, not your worth. That’s a walking red flag, not a review of you. You didn’t “cause” his betrayal. He chose lying, distance, and ghost‑adjacent behavior.

Send one calm message:
“I saw your active Hinge profile. That’s not okay with me, so I’m done. Take care.”

Then block, cry, journal, lean on friends, glow up. The self‑blame is leftover lovebombing and attachment talking, not truth. You’re not stupid or pathetic, you’re just someone who cared about the wrong guy.

Text him the screenshots and it'll be obvious you're done with him. You don't need the whole dramatic denial and conversation. It isn't your fault. You are being you and thinking you need to be more exciting and whatever else would just do you a disservice by making all your future relationships begin by trying to be someone you're not. You're lucky it's only three months. You could have gotten a lot more deeply involved and made it harder. A three month relationship not working is nothing in the big picture.

LMAO. Is this even remotely serious? Three months? Hinge?
