Any advice for a broken heart?

venting/ranting

Hello, I’m (39/f) new here. I was with my common law husband for 11 years. There’s a laundry list of betrayal, cheating, emotional cheating, lying, not coming home, drinking a lot, etc. The list goes on. I’ve put up with it because I love him, but the last few weeks have been awful and they culminated to this morning where I kicked him out of the house. He was out drinking since 2pm the day before and didn’t come home to sleep. He was basically missing. I called his family because I was so worried when I woke up at 4am and he wasn’t here. He came home at 7am. Didn’t give an explanation. He didn’t care. He already found an apartment today. He’s picking up the rest of his things tomorrow. I am shattered. I know I should have more self-love and self-respect, but I can’t stop thinking if I made a mistake by kicking him out. I don’t know what to do with myself. Any advice or words of wisdom would really help me. I’m very lonely and I didn’t know where else to turn to.
