When I was straight, my fiance' cheated on me. Today I found out my BF is cheating on me. Do I even deserve human companionship?

The assholes in these situations are the cheaters. What you deserve is someone WITH an asshole who is NOT an asshole. And cheer up!

Just be happy you aren't married. That's a sticky tangle to get out of.

How do you define lonieliness? Do you mean lack of companionship, or lack of exclusive monogamy? Because one is asking a lot more than the other?

Anway, people cheat. It would really depend on the entire circumstance as to whether or not you should flap about this.

No, you don't, you deserver the companionship of a fine English walnut tree. I wish the two of you a lifetime of happiness.

Hey, if you're relatively attractive and reasonably intelligent, and don't mind giving and receiving lots and lots of affection (in the form of cuddles, hugs, and soft kisses) then I guess you can give me a ring.

That'd kill two birds with one stone. Oh, and I don't cheat, and would like to find someone who actually won't break my heart by leaving me for another guy.

Do not place the blame on yourself when it is clearly the fault of others. However, if you linger in such a state of despair then you will find the lonliness you so fear. In other words, cheer up!

Loneliness is only a state of mind. My last relationship ended with her going 'crazy.' Of course I would like to have a girlfriend again, but am happy that I don't. Sometimes you are meant to be single, because there are more important matters in your life, and a relationship just complicates things.

maybe you need to look into what qualities that you are looking for in a relationship, it could be that you are getting together with jerks because you are looking for jerks (even if you don't mean to)

It's the same thing with women who go from one abusive relationship to another, it's not that they are seeking out abusers, but that it's familiar to them, so they don't see the warning signs before it's too late.

I would sit down and make a list of warning signs (hindsight is 20/20) and keep an eye out for them in any new relationships.

Nobody "deserves" human companionship. You are never entitled to have somebody love you or choose to spend their life with you. It is not your "right" to be loved and cherished, no matter how wonderful a person you are.

At the moment it sounds like you certainly should not be pursuing human companionship. You appear to be attracted to individuals who are unfaithful and disrespectful. Your first goal should be identifying why you seek out relationships with people who are not worth your time.

I've never understood how cheating could be the fault of anyone but the cheater. No matter what the problems are with the relationship, there's no excuse to cheat.

You should reassess what it is you're attracted to in a man. I suspect you're doing as many others do: seeking to make up in your relationships that which you were unable to resolve in your relationship with a parent. Happens a lot, sadly. :(

Cheating is most certainly the fault of the cheater. However, there will often be cases in which a particular individual is (for whatever reason) drawn to partners who cheat on them. This does NOT mean that the cheated-upon individual is to blame, but it does mean that there may be something they can do to reduce the likelihood they will be cheated on in the future...they can figure out why they are drawn to people who treat them this way, and see if they can figure out how to pursue better partners.
