Healing after affairs can seem like the most difficult thing in the world when the hurt and distrust threaten to tear apart what little bonds are left in your relationship. One of the biggest problems facing this healing process is regaining trust in your partner and knowing they will not be unfaithful again with a marital affair and to give your trust back to this person who violated it once (or more) can be a difficult thing to do; so how do people mend this rift?
The first thing to know in surviving an affair is that you should never give your trust back unless you understand why they had the affair and how to use this information to create change that will ensure a trusting and lasting marriage. Sounds so simple in one sentence doesn’t it, but we all know the reality is not that easy so let’s break this down a little bit.
Understanding
The reasons most marital affairs happen is that one partner feels there is something missing in their relationship and thinks they have found it with another man or woman. What this is may be variable and often leads to many different types of affairs which also make a difference to how you should approach them. If you want to rebuild the trust and heal the rift between yourself and your partner you must understand the affair keenly and while this may seem like the last thing you want to talk with your partner about it must be done or the same fertile ground for adultery will still be there. Try to talk to them in short periods in a calm manner and if it gets too hard or explosive stop and come back to it later but it must be done to gain the understanding you need to rebuild trust after an affair.
Change
Once you understand the affair you must then find the things led them to commit this deed. This means you must realize the key problems in your relationship before the affair which may involve sharing some blame for this breakdown of a relationship … this does NOT mean you should blame yourself for the affair though! It simply means that sometimes (not always) affairs come from relationship problems both parties must take ownership of. Once these are found and can be identified as the reason your partner was unfaithful you can look to fixing those relationship issues so that those things they thought were missing are back in their life and they do not need to seek elsewhere to find something they feel will complete them.
