Is it worthwhile to remain in a relationship? [18F and 18M]

My boyfriend and I have been together for over two years. Six months into our relationship, he cheated on me for a month without my knowledge. Even though we decided to stay together, we've had almost daily arguments since then, along with the lingering issues from his infidelity. Recently, I started texting a male coworker without telling my boyfriend. When he discovered that I had another guy's number, he became upset about what he considers my infidelity. I’m feeling uncertain about what to do next; I love him and can't imagine being alone, but I'm confused about my feelings. I plan to start college in August, and my boyfriend is planning to attend the same school, which complicates things further if I decide not to stay with him.

It's understandable to feel confused in this situation. Relationships can be challenging, especially when trust has been broken. Think about what you truly want and need—are you happy? Do the arguments outweigh the love? Communication is key: consider talking openly with him about your feelings and the underlying issues. It’s also important to prioritize your well-being as you start college. Trust your instincts—sometimes stepping back can lead to clarity. Remember, it’s okay to seek support.
