Thursday, December 24, 2009 11:11

marriage after an affair is very hard and many people cannot find a way to get their marriage back on track from the problems caused by cheating because of the distrust, the emotional storm and the fact that most people simply have no idea how to handle such a heartbreaking situation.

No one can be blamed for this however as no one would ever plan to deal with an affair Cheating does happen in marriages however and as such,You may now need to know how to overcome infidelity in marriage when it does happen

Here are 3 things that might be useful if your partner has been having an affair but you still want to forgive and move on with your marriage.

Deal with Anger, Resentment & Jealousy

Rage, resentment and jealousy are all regular emotions to feel when you discover your spouse} has been unfaithful. These emotions are poisonous though and will not help in being able to forgive and move on or at least not be overwhelmed by cheating. As such you need to find ways to stop these feelings from creating havoc in your life and communications. This if course easier said that done but it has to happen or everything you do will be poisoned by these negative thoughts.

One mantra you can repeat to yourself is “I can always control how I ACT even if I cannot control how I FEEL!”. Working through these feelings will take time but you are always in control of what you say and what you do even if you feel like you are going to burst if you do not get angry. If your emotions threaten to overwhelm you when talking to your partner simply tell them that you are too angry to talk but you will discuss it later when you calm down then go fro a walk.. You can cross that bridge when you come to it in the right frame of mind.

End Retaliation

This tipis connected to controlling what you do and say but is more specific as it deals with another destructive thought: REVENGE.

It might be verbal retaliation in the form of nasty quips and comments, full flown verbal abuse or even talking behind their back to friends or family or colleagues. some use physical attacks when you feel the need to lay hands on them (really, please, please never do this!) or perhaps feel the need to smash something they love. It also might be passive aggressive retaliation or even worse sexual retaliation by having a fling yourself.

Make sure these things do not happen because the bond of trust that has been pushed to absolute breaking point only need you to pursue a single act of revenge to sever them completely. This could end your chance at rebuilding your marriage. In the end you must decide … can I control myself and work to a solution … it is your choice.

Leave the Past Behind

Another mistake that can stop you from being able to find a path to forgiveness and communication in a marriage after an affair is thinking that you can reclaim the past and make things just like they were. Things will NEVER be like they were unless you ignore the whole affair and then you will be living a lie which has caused more marriages to fail than it has to keep them together.

Instead you must release the past. The old marriage is gone, your old relationship was not what you really thought it was since they were unfaithful. Only when you realize your old life is history can you focus on your new life, your new relationship and your new marriage because basically … you must start again!
