Individual therapy can be an important part of affair recovery - but it shouldn’t become another private world. Straying Partners in particular, you don’t need to share every detail, infact you shouldn’t bc it might compromise your therapeutic process but you should share with your Betrayed Partner your key insights, learnings or confusions, the general direction and what you’re working on.
This can help rebuild your relationship because it works towards rebuilding trust, transparency, safety and new and improved communication.

Accepting the behaviours and communication of the past from the Straying Partner is unfair to the Betrayed Partner and this won’t lead to healing or long term trust. Straying Partners have to lead repair and be active participants in change. They won’t always get this right and they cannot have all the answers at once - and that’s ok. But it is through consistent effort and willingness to risk getting somethings wrong in exchange for repair and healing you the Betrayed Partner will move to understand their capabilty to deceive is no longer a real threat ❤️

The Most Misunderstood Truth About Infidelity Contrary to popular belief, infidelity actually has very little to do with love. This is a really painful and difficult concept for all Betrayed Partners - and understandably so.

The reality, not the excuse, is, love can and does exist where infidelity occurs. Because in fact infidelity is all about the Straying Partners feelings of pain and inadequacy while love is not apart of that pain point.

When they leave for the Affair Partner it’s not you they are leaving. Straying Partners are often choosing the temporary distraction over the reflection and repair on themselves they need to do. While this is terribly painful, this has nothing to do with you - it’s not fair and very painful. Sometimes Straying Partners figure out the errored thinking but this can’t be your motivation. Healing and repair is your best focus for now ❤️
