How to survive your husband's betrayal: to leave or not to leave

Adultery causes deep emotions, suffering, brings discord into the family, and in most cases leads to divorce.

But what can you do to survive your husband's betrayal? Is it always worth ending a relationship? We will try to answer these and some other important questions.

Of course, everything is individual, and below are only general advice and recommendations from psychologists and people wise with life experience.

Way out of the situation

First, you need to get out of the situation psychologically: spend some time away from your husband, let out your emotions.

Keep yourself busy: Find something interesting to do so that your worries don't take over you completely.

Remember what attracted you before, but you didn't have the opportunity to devote time to it. The main thing is to understand that you can't close yourself off from the world because of a broken family or a broken love.

Life is unique, and you only live once. Everything is in your hands: you can completely destroy, or you can build another bright, full and worthy life

Don't panic and don't shed tears, you have to endure such a test and not break down. And when you succeed, you will have another reason to be proud of yourself and you will write your new happy story.

To leave or not to leave

So, you have calmed down. Now it is time to make a decision whether to continue the relationship with your husband or not.

If cheating is not typical for him, then perhaps he views this case as a terrible mistake and repents...

Women who forgave their men in this situation saved their families and their happiness. But after forgiving, do not mention this incident again.

Try not to escalate the situation in the house: the more relaxed the atmosphere, the faster you will be able to deal with this problem.

It is also recommended to continue sexual relations, but only if the unfaithful partner takes the initiative.

Don't impose your opinions on him, but tactfully suggest dividing household responsibilities between you. This way, the man will become more attached to his family, to his home, and will realize that he is an integral part of it and an equal owner.

As for children, do not involve them in these matters under any circumstances: they are not guilty of anything. Determine who is responsible for certain issues in upbringing. Try not to share what happened in your family with anyone, even if you really want to.

No one can fix the situation, not even friends, and strangers should not interfere in your intimate life. But you need to establish a dialogue with your spouse. Pull yourself together, think everything through and talk frankly, including about what needs to be done to prevent this from happening again.

While you are worried and thinking about your next steps, don’t forget about yourself: visit a hairdresser, a beautician, lose some extra weight if necessary, and update your wardrobe. Take care of your appearance – remember that a man loves with his eyes.

But what if your partner's betrayal wasn't the first? In that case, it's hardly worth tolerating such behavior any longer. Find the strength and leave - he won't change.
