#2 – Reveal the Motivation
Humans are complex emotional beings who may do something wrong that sounds rather rational and significant in their own heads due to various reasons, including feeling unloved, lonely, hurt, or left behind.
Some unlucky times, someone outside of the relationship can do the one thing the other partner failed to do, which can be quite hard to reject. (One good example of this situation is the movie Thief of Hearts.) The point is, motivation is a key element to whether a marriage or relationship can survive or not.
Infidelity can be fueled by many ugly emotions, such as lack of commitment, anger, lack of lovemaking, neglect, and being taken for granted. You may have a part of what your spouse has done, but also, you may have nothing to do with it and your partner just chose to cheat.
It’s important to find out the motivation behind the betrayal and discuss ways to fix things if they’re worth fixing.
#3 – Commit to Rebuilding the Relationship
Once the painful storm of betrayal calms down, you must ask yourself how valuable is your relationship to you and figure out if it’s worth saving.
You need to make sure that you’ll be able to commit to your spouse despite what they’ve done, that you’re still in love, and you’d be willing to do everything to get through this disaster.
If you still have enough respect and admiration for your partner and are sure that you’ll go back to enjoying each other’s company because you’re bestfriends or soulmates, then youshould totally work together to rebuild trust in your relationship.
Regardless of the long road ahead of you as a couple, you should just trust your gut and work together to create a solid ground for the relationship so you’ll be able to trust again.
#4 – Consider Couple’s Therapy
In case you want to work things out with your partner but you have no clue how to regain trust and work through betrayal at the same time. You may want to consider relationship counseling.
