Hi reddit.  Pretty broken right now. This weekend my girlfriend called me and admitted that she cheated on me this summer while she was working in a different city temporarily. We have been together for 5 years. After she told me I immediately asked when and why and she started saying "I really don't want to hurt you with the details" so I hung up and have not talked to her since (which is incredibly hard so far). She said she was ashamed.

The part that kills me is I moved far away for a dream job after graduating university, and she was working hard to get a job to come here. She just got an offer before the weekend and we were so excited to continue/start our life together here. I guess the guilt overwhelmed her and she decided to tell me. She even recently visited for a weekend and we had a great time together.

I feel like not only the last 5 years are washed away... but all my future plans are as well.

I don't know what to do - I don't have any other close friends. I cried and called my parents since I don't really have anyone else to talk to in this new city.

Do I talk to her again, even if just for closure purposes? I am struggling so hard to maintain no-contact and feel like I am utterly destroyed.

I know I can never take her back... but it hurts so much.
