Breaking up after 7 years

How do you move on after being with someone for 7 years??? I am currently 27 yrs old and recently my boyfriend and I broke off our relationship. The hard part is that I love him so much and we also have a 4 yr old son together. Shortly after I had our son I found out he had cheated on me. He had already broken it off with the other girl but it was a blow to my self-esteem. We split up for almost 2 yrs and got back together a year and a half ago. We have always had our ups and downs (all relationships do), but I got to a point where I was doubting everything he still did. I had already forgiven him but couldn't forget I guess. He tells me that it hurt him so much b/c he was doing right and I questioned everything he did. How do you get beyond that?? I am afraid that If I get into another relationship I will continue to be the same way, doubting men in general. I obviously don't like this about myself but once you've been hurt you certainly don't want it to happen again. Help!!
