Rebuilding Your Relationship after an Affair

Discovering your partner has been unfaithful can be a devastating and shattering experience. You no longer feel safe with the person you trusted and relied upon the most. The experience can also be devastating and painful for the person who has been unfaithful. They can begin to realise how much they have hurt you and that can be extremely painful. It is possible to rebuild your relationship if you are both willing and wanting to begin again. Essentially you need to start anew and set up a new version of the relationship. It is natural that trust will take time, you can’t expect trust to return immediately. For some time, you may need to see emails, have access to your partner’s mobile and have more information than usual about where your partner is, so that you can learn to trust them again. Trust is not forever gone when it has been shattered. You can build an even stronger relationship than you had before and eventually put the painful memories behind you. If you need help and support as a couple or an individual through this process, feel free to reach out for professional help. You are not alone.
