Is Infidelity the end of a marriage?

Infidelity can be defined as the action or state of being unfaithful to a spouse or other sexual partner.

We often hear about infidelity and perhaps have seen live examples within the circle of friends and family. One of the main reasons why a marriage ends is because of infidelity and the hasty decisions taken after knowing about it.

A partner may cheat his/her spouse when everything in the marriage is going alright and even when the marriage has some issues. You need to cross-check how great you are on the emotional level / how great is your emotional intimacy?

The challenge is whether to work on it or to end it?

When people are not able to digest the pain they think of ending the relationship with a divorce. You may go through all kinds of negative emotions like stress, anger, hatred, sadness, depression, resentment and also doubt yourself of where did I go wrong? Infidelity makes your relationship more toxic and everyone related to it gets affected.

The scar of betrayal cuts to the bone, but the wound can be healed.

It is not easy to trust your spouse again, but do you want to give the opportunity? Does your spouse agree on committing the mistake and ready to work on the relationship? If so, then you need to communicate your expectations to stay married and begin the process of healing and restoring trust.

Seek a Counsellor

If you have decided to end the marriage, considering the number of times your spouse cheated on you emotionally / physically, and if in no circumstances you would be able to take the pain and betrayal you are going through now, it’s better to seek some professional help for the recovery process of infidelity and divorce. A counselor will help you to save your marriage or sail the process of divorce peacefully.
