Confused
My boyfriend has been there in ways other people including family never were. He stood up for me to my mom and gave me and my kid a home. But he made an error and wanted to lay with other women. He asked and wanted them but was honest when I confronted him. I don’t know what to do and am struggling to be okay with my appearance and if he will hurt me like that again. I need help.

I am sorry to hear about what happened. Someone who supported you suddenly letting you down must have been very hard.
We are all just humans, weak and prone to be tempted by illusions, and we make mistakes. That is to sound like an explanation, not like an excuse. And it's important, I think, when we can call our mistakes by their names.
Usually in such a situation it can be pivotal to go back to the point where your partner—or your relationship—started drifting the wrong way.
The reasons might be different: from getting stuck into a routine, some very important misunderstanding or anger to a low self-esteem, loneliness or fear.
Definitely, your partner did something wrong. But the reasons as well as the results may concern both of you.
If you two can talk about it honestly, it's seems to be a good sign. Quite often things like couple therapy or marriage counselling may help to sort it out... I keep my fingers crossed for it 🤞
