Discovering that your spouse has been cheating is one of the major
stresses in a marriage. Emotional infidelity, or an actual affair, feels
like a tremendous breach in trust.
Is it possible to get past infidelity?
If so, how is it possible to get past it?
You cannot assume that the wounds will simply go away with the passage
of time. You have to acknowledge the hurt and anger that the affair
causes.
Healing a marriage after an affair is essentially about rebuilding
trust.
In addition to dealing with the infidelity itself, it is a good opportunity
to explore pre-existing problems, such as problems of communication
and intimacy.
This kind of work is key not just to surviving, but also preventing,
infidelity.
