Affair Recovery: 3 Questions for Healing Together

With the discovery of an affair, both partners are swept away by a tidal wave of rapidly changing emotions and confusing thoughts. It's only natural that "recovery" from this critical event may seem impossible - at least from the outset.

For the 'hurt partner', it's so difficult to sort through the initial shock and horror of this betrayal. The pain is overwhelming, and it becomes challenging to navigate through the myriad of emotions that arise. Anger, sadness, and disbelief may consume the hurt partner, making it hard to find a sense of stability amidst the chaos. It is crucial to acknowledge and validate these emotions, allowing oneself to grieve and process the immense pain.

On the other hand, for the one who violated the bond, it's very hard to sift through feelings of defensiveness, guilt, and shame. They may struggle to understand their actions and the impact they have had on their partner and the relationship as a whole. It is important for the partner who committed the betrayal to take responsibility for their actions, while also exploring the underlying reasons that led to this breach of trust.
