Am now at the point of breaking down completely cos he got married last week, and instead of feeling relieved or resigning myself to fate, i feel more betrayed, hurt and angrier than have ever felt in my entire life. please help me, how can i close this chapter in my life?

 i really feel for you because i can completely relate, you are hurt and angry because you thought you had something amazing and special and then it was taken away from you - he betrayed you, he lied to you and he deceived you and yet it is you in all of this pain while he has just gotten married. its not fair.i think you need to try to accept that although at the time those 3 months were special to you and you were happy, it wasnt real. you were only happy because you didnt know what was really going on. it wasnt a good relationship and it wasnt a good 3 months for you, it just felt like it was because you did not know the truth. but none of it was real.you did the right thing by breaking up with him, and it just proves you are a much better and stronger person than his wife (presumably she knows what he did too and decided to stay with him). people like this will never change, he will almost certainly do this again. just be glad that the next time he cheats and lies, he wont be doing it to you.you have had a lucky escape with this guy, he's clearly not who he pretends to be. so take it one day at a time, give yourself time to heal and eventually the moving on part will just happen by itself.best of luck x

 Is it that your really afraid to sleep at another home, or is it that you feel comfortable, safe and secure at your own? Have you experienced any other trauma other than this breakup? You were betrayed and it's OK to feel hurt and angry because of that betrayal. What he did was WRONG. There's no other explanation. He was dating someone else while messing around with you, so why is he worth your time to keep this chapter open? He's not worth it. He didn't just betray you, but his wife too. He knew full well what he was doing before he did it. And he was still willing too. He's not worth it. I would recommend seeing a counselor. It's very important to sort out and deal with these issues. When getting into another relationship, it will be much more beneficial to you and fair to your partner if you're not still carrying this with you.
