Infidelity in Partnership
This has always been a touchy topic on my feed. Many of you are of the notion that cheating means it is over, there are no ifs, ands or buts about it. It is a breach of trust and there are no exceptions.
Would you be surprised to know that many relationships grow and thrive as a result of infidelity? Infidelity can often occur as a means to force those in relationship to notice, realize, understand and address something(s).
There is more than one path available to you when infidelity occurs. What is defining and non-negotiable around infidelity is this: The person who has committed the infidelity MUST feel remorse and have a yearning to repair. If this is not present, there is not enough motivation to work.
Now, I do encounter clients who initially reject the idea of reconciliation, however, often I find that these partners have a lot of shame to unpack.
