I don’t feel good enough for my partner

My boyfriend and I have been together for 10 months. No matter how much he reassures me I still don’t feel pretty enough. Long story short, I told him I felt uncomfortable with guys going on certain sites. I set the boundary when we first started talking. He agreed saying how disrespectful it was. I leave for vacation for a month. I come home, and find it on his phone. He definitely feels remorseful now but if I didn’t find out he would probably still be doing it. Because he entertained other girls while I was away, I become paranoid. I keep trying to forgive him but don’t know how.

Gracie i am so sorry to hear that you set this boundary with your significant other and he broke it... i just want to let you know i am happy you set that boundary, setting boundaries are so great, now i would like to know what are you going to do to reenforce this boundary with him? sometimes redirecting can be helpful depending on the situation. I hope all is well, and hope he has learned his lesson, also even though i cannot see your face, you are beautiful<3 I feel everyone in this world is beautiful, theres beauty in everyone,

thank you so much for sharing<3
best wishes

It’s a like a boundary between combating my low self esteem while simultaneously reminding him I didn’t deserve what he did.. I have no idea what I need to do in order to forgive him. I’ve given it around 3 months and it still hurts the same as when I first found out. I’m filled with anger and disgust regarding his actions. Feeling discouraged.
