This is not true.
And it demonstrates your youth and lack of experience.
I have many ex-s. They don’t interfere with my current relationship. She also has many ex-s. They don’t interfere with our relationship either. Why? Because we trust each other and we know what’s important.
The sooner you’re able to wrap your head around to concepts that are somewhat foreign to your current way of thinking the sooner these sort of problems will stop appearing in your life.
See if it isn’t true.

I don’t care where you’re from, although cheating is not to be taken lightly, it is not a justification for violence.

Women owe men no more respect than what they get from men - and vice versa.
If she’s cheating, there’s a reason. Sometimes the reason is 100% her own, but that’s rare. If she cheats on you, then it’s likely she’s not satisfied with you or there’s some problem; if she’s worth it to you, you could attempt to find out why and see if you can fix it. If you can’t or can’t deal with it… it’s over.
Plenty of fish in the sea.
Trust is difficult to rebuild once broken, however it’s not impossible. This is true between men & women, between friends, between co-workers, etc.; we have to evaluate each situation according to what we know and what we can discuss rationally.
It’s not so crazy to take a breech of trust into consideration. Consider it from all angles, discuss it, see what you find. It may be a deal-breaker. Fair enough. But sometimes it isn’t.
Jungle appears to be very sensitive. He also appears to have had trust issues from the start with her, so her cheating became a self-fulfilling prophecy. I believe that he helped create it this by being over-possesive and inflexible. How do I arrive at that? Because he can’t seem to even consider an alternate philosophy as possible. That sort of thinking reveals a stubborn streak that is at once fearful and controlling. The truth is, the more you try to control someone the more they will rebel. Which is exactly what she did.
When our personal lives fuck up on us, all we can learn from is our own behavior. It’s called personal responsibility and it’s part of being a man.
You can’t control another person. If you do you don’t really have a relationship worth a damn anyway. The women in your life are not always going to do just what you want them to do. You have to learn to see what’s really important to your relationship.
Like I said: ultimately we can’t control the other person, but we can attempt to control ourselves better.
And we can, if we’re honest, look in the mirror and see where we were unreasonable in the relationship. Maybe not to excuse the other person, but to make ourselves better as a result. It’s worth a shot.
You don’t have to be ‘sick’ to get better.
