Monkey see, monkey do.
What were the type of relationships you saw as a child and what were the type of relationships you had as an adult?
Are you following in the footsteps of your mother and other female relatives? Your mother married a cheater, so you married a cheater.
You need to break away from this pattern. Learn to be happy with yourself first. To love your own person. So that you no longer need to depend on someone else and give everything just to keep someone in a vain hope to be happy.
Happyness comes from within after all.
The last thing you want to be is to be you again. The you of the past got married twice to the wrong kind of person. You need to create a new you. One who can break away from the pattern set by seeing bad relations when you were a kid.
