Achieving peace of mind after someone has cheated on you is very difficult. It requires great personal strength, and a significant amount of perseverance.
It's hard to think of any bigger breach of trust than a spouse or partner being unfaithful. All sorts of emotions can be unleashed, and it can sometimes seem as if peace of mind couldn't be further away.
My suggestion would be to approach the situation calmly and in your own time.
Finding peace of mind after being cheated on
The first thing to keep in mind is that it is natural to be angry, hurt and upset. Don't fight these feelings, but rather work through them.
Just like a physical injury, heartache takes time to heal.
Why not try getting involved in some sort of physical activity? Even just jogging or working out regularly will really help to get you back into the right state of mind (although you may find an activity that involves aiming kicks at a punchbag is more cathartic).
I've been cheated on, how can exercise help?
Exercise has multiple benefits:

Exercise has multiple benefits:
- It boosts the chemicals in your brain that make you feel happy and enthusiastic
- It gives you a routine and occupies your time (making it easier to keep busy and forget)
- It gets you in shape (and gives you the kind of body your ex will kick themselves for missing out on)
- It's also a great way to socialize and meet other people (perhaps even a future boyfriend/girlfriend)
