A huge part of recovering from your partners involvement in an affair is to look ahead and work out how to forgive your partner for their betrayal.This is not easy though and can take a long time to do for some people and a shorter time for others but it is possible if you remember these few tips:

Build a new marriage

It is very easy for a married couple to attempt to move past an affair by simply attempting to turn their marriage back to how it was before the incident took place... even when there were obviously problems that needed to be dealt with. Unfortunately in most situations this is not really possible. The trust that has been shattered means the past cannot be reclaimed and your relationship cannot be mended in such a simple manner.

The affair may be forgiven but it will never be forgotten, and so a new version of your relationship will need to be developed that allows you to move aheadand continue building your life together.

Banish anger and resentment

No one can begrudge you feeling as betrayed as you do, but it is important to avoid allowing yourself to become a slave to these feelings.By letting these emotions get the better of you, you risk driving an even larger wedge between you and your partner which may prove impossible to overcome

If you feel yourself caving in to the rage, step back, take a pause and resume when you are ready. A successful recovery from infidelity in marriage is dependent on your ability to keep communication open when your anger tells you to shut them down.
