Has your world been rocked by infidelity? Do you feel confused? Like everything you thought you believed in was a lie and now you question other things you believed were true as well?

Coping with infidelity can be very difficult. Hurt partners can actually experience symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, almost as if they were there, even if they’ve never met the other individual.

Whether your partner struggles with sexual addiction and needs help or it was a one-time incident, the pain involved can seem unbearable at times. You may feel like no one can possibly understand how you feel, even if they’ve had their world rocked by infidelity as well.

There are people out there who can help but be thoughtful about who you share with. If you decide to work things out you will want to be careful not to alienate your partner. Remember though, you can’t hold it all in. You will need a confidant, someone who can show you love and empathy during this hard time.

This can be very difficult to understand and deal with. If you’re struggling, trying to understand what happened to the world you thought you were living in, seek out help. A marriage therapist can help you better understand what is happening. If you’re just feeling numb, a counselor can assist you in regaining your sanity and start feeling again. Couples counseling might even be able to help you repair your marriage and eventually find some peace.

There is life after an affair, even a happy life at that. Let someone help you because you shouldn’t have to do this alone.
