Saving your marriage after infidelity
Reacting After the Discovery of the Infidelity
-
Be accountable for your actions. If you were the unfaithful party, it’s important that you take responsibility for your actions and end the affair. You should stop all communication with the person you were unfaithful with and prevent any future interactions with them. If your spouse was unfaithful, you should confirm that they have ended the affair and intend to avoid all contact with they were unfaithful with.
- Avoid deciding right away if you are both going to stay in the marriage. Rather than make this big decision up front, agree to work together to try to sort through your issues. This will put less pressure on you both as you work on your relationship and allow you both to try your best to get over the affair.
