How to Survive an Affair after Marriage by Alfred Bart

Relationship affair is when one has another lover, usually secretly, outside the relationship with their ‘legal’ partner. It is one of the biggest break up causes as most monogamous people cannot except the fact that their partner goes astray. It has been widely discussed about what one should do if their partner is having an affair, but what if YOU are the one who is having one? The little voice in your head may tell you out of guilt to confess as you were taught that honesty is the best policy.

First you must rebuild your own sense of self esteem. You must not be crushed by the cheating, you must instead be able to sort through your own emotions and be able to face up to your partner without anger and resentment and jealousy making you say and do things that you regret and end hopes of proper communication.

There are usually a few ways that the denial of cheating will go down. Sometimes, the husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend will just out and out and directly say that no, they are not cheating. Sometimes they will say this with a loving and patient attitude and sometimes they will become defensive and angry. Expanding on this angry response, the folks in this category will sometimes try to turn the tables somewhat. You will sometimes get a reaction that implies that you are the one with the problem. You may be accused of things like being insecure, or seeing things that aren’t there, or hounding or projecting so much that you are going to drive your partner to commit the act that you fear the most.

Try to add more variety and excitement to your life and love life. Try to be more spontaneous and surprise your spouse or partner with a willingness to indulge some of their fantasies. Often the only reason they ask is to see if you’d actually love them enough to try or be willing. Most often, your partner isn’t serious about really fulfilling that wish. Work on your appearance and self-confidence. Do things outside the house and spend time with friends or do more things at the house and spend time with family.

However, thank God, for you, it hasn’t come to that. So let’s see what can be done to help you survive an affair. Now, what has happened to your relationship is a big time breach of trust. You’ve been betrayed, or you were the betrayer. At this point it does not matter. Trust me on this. The objective is to restore trust. You want to stay together, or get back together after an affair; you got to bring trust back into the relationship. Restoring trust in relationships requires a change in attitude and actions. Even after an affair, it is possible to save a relationship.

Differentiation, or individuation, is key to personal freedom. It is the foundation of spirituality. It can be created in the crucible of a committed, monogamous long-term intimate relationship. Most often people chose the opposite – undifferentiating, collusion or boring co-dependence.
