I'm so sorry this happened to you as well. No, you can't trust a single one of them - I'm not even sure you can trust any of the women. I thought I was friends with my husband's sister, but who knows? I've cut him and his family from my life.

Please don't beat yourself up for continuing the relationship even when you had misgivings. I'm pretty sure all of us did the same. I really thought my husband was different, because he went to a lot of trouble to ensure I only saw select parts of him and his life. Now, I know that he had probably played many women before me, during our relationship, and is continuing to do so now. They sell out to the highest bidder, until that bidder comes to their senses.

You are still very young, unlike some of us here, so you have plenty of time to recover. Just look at it as a learning experience - a very painful one, to be sure, but one you will survive. I guarantee, you will never let this happen again. It's good you came to this board - I'm sure everyone welcomes you, and understands you 100 percent. You will come through this, sooner than you think.
