Coping with Affairs and Infidelity
Cheating, an affair, infidelity, betrayal - whatever you call it, this experience can be devastating, frequently triggering a difficult crisis in a relationship. The surfacing of an affair may lead to the termination of an intimate relationship. The hurt and sense of betrayal may be so severe that a partner may not be willing to go on in relationship. That is a real possibility.
In many cases, however, an affair may present the kind of crisis that can lead to the creation of a new relationship that is more honest and more fully satisfying to both parties. This is difficult work, but it is possible.
Whether an affair marks the end of a relationship, or presents an opportunity for it's renewal (as difficult as that might be) counseling can provide an opportunity to address painful issues, communicate more clearly, explore possibilities, make decisions, and implement decisions.
