You just realize that your spouse has been unfaithful and cheated on you. The news of the infidelity hit you like a ton of bricks. Your wedding is now thrown into a crisis that can destroy it. On the other hand, both of you may be able to work through it and end up better than ever.
You can have hope that your marriage can survive your spouse cheating on you, but you always fill sick inside when you think of the case.
It is natural to want to know why your partner cheated, but there is no simple answer to why someone becomes unfaithful. It could be a symptom of other problems in your marriage, it could relate to something in the past of your spouse, or it could be totally unrelated to you or your marriage. You can never really know why this happened.
There are 15 things you can do to get beyond the pain, forgive your unfaithful spouse, and save your marriage.
- do not make important decisions to end your marriage now just because your spouse has been unfaithful. This is the time to reflect on your wedding to see what other issues other than that infidelity must be recognized and treated.
- Understanding that feelings are neither good or bad. Accept your feelings of rage, uncertainty, shock, agitation, fear, pain, depression and confusion of having an unfaithful spouse are normal. You will be on a roller coaster of emotions for a few months and maybe even a year or two.
- Do your best to take care of yourself. You can have physical reactions to infidelity such as nausea, diarrhea, sleep disorders (too much or too little), tremor, difficulty concentrating and not wanting to eat or overeat.
- balance is the key to getting through this experience to deal with infidelity. Force yourself to eat healthy food, to stay on a schedule, sleeping regular hours to get some exercise every day, drink lots of water and have fun.
- It is still okay to laugh. watch funny movies or TV shows. Spend time with people who make you smile. Life goes on, despite the grief and unfaithful spouses.
- Tears are healthy too. If they do not come naturally to the type of blues music or watch a sad movie. Those betrayed can actually feel numb, but it is important to contact your underlying emotions as well.
- Start a journal. Write down your thoughts and feelings about the infidelity of your spouse.
- Ask any questions you want. Talk with your spouse about infidelity. However, you may have to accept that your spouse may not know why the infidelity occurred or may not want to reveal it to you.
- Search tips. Do not try to get through adaptation with unfaithfulness alone! However, do not shout from the highest mountain of all that you know your spouse is unfaithful reflex. Choose carefully who you will share this information with. Knowing the type of infidelity sometimes makes understanding easier and advice can help obtain answers to questions. Was it a one-night stand or an affair? Did he come during or after a life crisis? Is it a sexual addiction a possibility? Was it an act of retaliation? Is cheating occurs at the end of marriage? Regardless, this may be the most important time to seek professional help.
- Take one day at a time. You and your spouse must also be tested for AIDS / STD and HIVs before resuming sexual intimacy without protection. Consider what limits you need in your marriage to stay in the marriage. You may want to contact a lawyer and get those documented in a postnuptual agreement.
- Your children need to know that you are well. You can not hide the fact that you go through the stress or severe trauma. Be honest with your children could be the best approach in terms of their age, but not to burden them with details. Also, do not make promises you can not keep.
- Try not to get into the game of blame over who or what caused the infidelity. It's just a waste of energy. This includes blaming others. It will not change anything. Also, think twice before you say to your family or the family of your spouse about infidelity. Family members can often hold grudges for long.
- You can have post-traumatic stress. If you are nervous, screaming mundane actions feel like you are walking on egg shells, and continue to have physical reactions when you are called infidelity, see a doctor as soon as you can. Medications, even temporarily, could be a good idea.
- It takes time to go beyond the pain of an unfaithful partner. Do not expect the mix of feelings, a sense of confusion and limbo, and distrust to go just because you have tried to forgive your spouse and made a commitment to save your marriage. The stages of dying and death (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) are part of the grieving process. This does not mean that your marriage can not be renewed and strengthened as it can. But it will be different. Remember that your marriage has changed. You will need to mourn the loss.
- Get practical. Watch your finances, housing conditions, transport, etc. If you decide to end your marriage, make sure that you thought where you live, if you have enough money to pay your accessories, etc. If you are not sure it's the right decision, ask for advice and guidance.
infidelity is one of the most difficult challenges a marriage can face. It does not always mean it's the end. It is essential for you and your spouse to carefully consider the changes you are two willing to do to get past it.
