Dear Abena: Cheating Girlfriend - To Dump or Not?

Dear Abena,

I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for two years now, and I have to admit, it's been an incredible journey. We met in college, and our love blossomed over shared laughter, late-night conversations, and countless adventures. However, lately, I've noticed something unsettling in our relationship.

A few weeks ago, I found a text message on my girlfriend's phone from a guy she's been working with. It was a message that should never have been sent to a man who is committed to another woman. The content of the message was enough to make my blood boil, and I felt my heart sink into the pit of my stomach.

Since then, I've been trying to figure out what to do. My instincts tell me to dump her and walk away from this toxic situation. But my heart won't let me forget the love we've shared and the future we once dreamed of together.

I need your advice, Abena. Should I forgive her and give our relationship another chance, or should I walk away and find someone who will never betray my trust? I'm at a loss, and I need your wisdom to guide me through this difficult decision.

Please, Abena, help me. I need your advice more than ever. What should I do?

Yours sincerely, Confused and Hurting
