Coming to grips with hurting or being hurt in this manner is more than just some words and hope/expectation that our partner will just move on. It takes ownership and understanding of why we act out the way we do
In my work with couples, I don't believe infidelity is the final straw to end the relationship. The challenges that are presented with this issue are great, but I believe we can work to truly find out what is best for the both of you when it comes to managing this.
When one partner cheats, the other can be left in a world of confusion, terror, trauma, and anxiety. There are few things more difficult to overcome than infidelity. Sometimes it is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Other times it is the very thing that starts a process of healing and reunification. I work with couples every day who are trying to find their way back from betrayal. It is possible! It takes hard work though and dedication to the relationship. The person who cheated needs to do some very deep exploration of themselves to figure out why they strayed. They need to be to explain their behavior in a way that makes sense to their partner such that they can begin to forgive and trust again. This can take a long time. Couples therapy can really help to make this go much smoother and more quickly. Sometimes, out of the worst crisis, a new relationship emerges, one that is happier, more stable, more open, and more loving.
Most people will not get all of their needs met in a single relationship. Let's explore different ways of getting needs met and potentially different types of relationship arrangements, such a polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, and other forms of relationship anarchy.
Why do men cheat? Why do women cheat? Why does anyone cheat? Whether you are struggling with the insecurity of wondering how to be certain your partner is faithful to you, or whether you are living through the nightmare of having been cheated on, Growth and Change Counseling can help you. We specialize in treating infidelity, helping couples put together a healthy relationship after a betrayal, or even helping couples understand why betrayal happens and how to be confidant that it will never happen in your relationship. Don't wallow in anxiety of uncertainty or the pain of despair. Call us today at 408-461-9658.
