Infidelity Counseling

Once you have discovered spousal betrayal in your marriage or relationship has happened, you may begin to look back for any clues in your relationship you might have missed. You may even start questioning and think “my spouse is a sex addict” or “my spouse is addicted to porn, why did I not see the signs?”

The shock of discovering the person you love has “cheated” on you is devastating and very confusing, and once discovered will put an even greater strain on an already fragile and damaged relationship or marriage. Therapy or couples counseling for treating relational infidelity is always strongly recommended by most therapists and by other couples who have gone through the counseling process to fix and save their marriage and family.

 Feelings caused by the damage by their spouse’s affairs

Relationships are challenging and require work to maintain the same respect, love and joy that most relationships naturally start off with. In the beginning there is little or no effort required to maintain the feelings of respect, love and joy. Later, feelings of being overwhelmed by life’s responsibilities and having to learn how to juggle family, money, careers and child rearing become a new reality. Often little, or perhaps improper thinking has gone into how to manage all of this and still maintain the respect, love and joy which you had started your relationship with.

We understand first hand that an affair hurts, but infidelity does not have to mean the end of a relationship or marriage. Counseling after spousal betrayal or therapy for betrayal and infidelity does work. Having an affair is often the signal that the relationship is in crisis and that it is time to take focused healing steps in order to learn a new way of being together.
