You should always capitalise the word “I”. You should always put a space before starting a new sentence.

… get over all the cheating.i know that she is very … – WRONG
… get over all the cheating. I know that she is very … – CORRECT

In this case “get over” presumably means “recover from a difficult experience”.

“to stand up for oneself” means to be strong and confident in the face of opposition from other people; to be firm in one’s opinions and actions.

In your sentence, “my self” should be “myself”.
