Infidelity can really hurt people who are already dealing with addictions, relationship troubles, or feeling down. For example, finding out your partner cheated can make you feel even worse about yourself and really upset, which can make depression symptoms worse. As a therapist who focuses on these issues, I would create a safe space for people to talk about how they feel. I'd help them work through the complicated emotions that come with infidelity and figure out how to rebuild trust and move forward. This might mean setting boundaries in the relationship, talking about what led to the cheating, and finding healthy ways to deal with the hurt. I'd also help them think about what they want for the future and how to make choices that are good for them.
