I can understand where you are coming from. The way I project myself to others, those who don't know me that well, I appear an emotionally solid. It takes a while for me to build up trust in others, but when I do I start to open up. This is hard for me to do because while I seem emotionally detached from many things, the truth is that I am very easily hurt.
If a person I am dating and whom I trust a great deal cheated on me, it would be the end of my world. Not permanently, but like you, well, I don't quite think I can describe what I would feel. I see it as the ultimate form of betrayal on a very personal level and I do not tolerate cheating in any way, shape or form. There would not be room for so much as an explanation as to why they did it.
However, if, god forbid, that did ever happen to me, I would not expect people to immediately take my side. Those who will care will care, but this would ultimately be my problem. Likewise, I could not give two shits about people who have been cheated on because, well, it's not my problem. It's between them. If any of my close friends were in that situation, however, I'd be there for them.
