Loss of Trust After Betrayal

My partner’s betrayal felt like a hammer striking my heart, turning everything upside down. Before that day, I trusted him completely, but now every word he says feels questionable. Even the smallest calls and messages make me anxious. This doubt and mistrust have become chains, trapping me in a lonely prison. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve made a mistake, but deep down I know I must save myself. I write this letter to release my pain—and maybe, one day, to trust again.
