Having experienced something very similar myself, from a girl I loved and hoped to marry, my advice echoes that of the other posters:
-If she really loved you, she wouldn't have cheated on you multiple times and wouldn't have played you like she did. My GF came out to visit, planning on breaking up with me (after she cheated on me) but couldn't do it after she saw me again. Thanks.
- You can get over the love for her. It takes time, certainly. My ex-GF led me on multiple times and for over a year I hoped to get back with her -- I loved her and was so devoted. Finally, at one point, I set my foot down myself. It took me a long time to get back on my feet in the dating scene -- for a while my interest just wasn't piqued. In some sense I regret missing out on the opportunities therein because I was so wrapped up in her and the heartache and exhaustion from everything. However, I am now with a great girlfriend which is shapping up to be an even better and more fulfilling relationship.
Three + years with someone would presumably always bring you very close. With that in mind, just imagine finding someone who a) treats you better, b) who you can trust completely and c) is more mature in a relationship and then how close you would be given the same amount of time. That's what you should be looking for, and while I don't specifically know the exact situation betwee you and your (ex) GF, I think it's time to move on -- for your sake.
