Be kind to yourself, you have suffered a terrible loss similar to a death. Just know that it was not about you, and after you feel better you can go out and find someone who will be good and honest. It is going to take time to heal so don't beat yourself up if you still have bad moments months from now. People will tell you to pick yourself up and get back on the horse. Well you need time to grieve and be angry and sad. In a lot of ways this is worse than a death because when someone dies you can cherish the memories once the pain passes, you will want to move completely past the memories at some point.
So basically sweetie, I am so sorry you are in pain. I have given you a ton of unsolicited advice that you are welcome to ignore But I think that there are a lot of us who have been where you are. Just do yourself a favor, don't beg, and don't drunk dial. Don't create more bad memories for yourself.
All the best!
