Do engaging fun activities that require thinking to stop thinking about him e.g hanging out with friends, playing video games.

A cheating boyfriend is probably one of the hardest things to overcome. What you need to ask yourself do you still want him in your life? Can you forgive him? Could you trust him again? Your an amazing person who deserves to be loved by someone the way you loved this man. Spend time with your friends, spend time with your family. You have a network of people who all want to listen in order to help you through this difficult time. Remind yourself every time you think of him that there is someone else out there for you that will treat you the way you deserve to be treated

There's honestly just no way to stop caring, I know that it's hard to but it's just something you have to work on and move past. Take some time and focus on something else or yourself and when you're ready start talking to someone new and try moving on. I know it's hard, but it's about the only thing that will fully or mostly help you move on. I've been in many relationships where my partner has cheated and sometimes you don't fully get over them, but you can move on and move forward. I hope this helps and you find someone that makes you happy and doesn't cheat or hurt you in the future.

I think the first step to take in order to stop caring for a cheater boyfriend is simply realizing that you deserve better. It may be easy to get caught up in the pain and wonder what it is that you did wrong, but the fact is nobody deserves to be cheated on. Self-love is a very important aspect of getting over a heartbreak, especially when it came from someone who is willing to cheat. The worst thing you can do after getting cheated on is blame yourself. Know that you deserve better than to be cheated on and give yourself the love that you deserve!
