The Hard Truth About Infidelity:
I know you don’t want to hear it, but a lot of people have affairs. I see it in my work everyday. We don’t like to admit it and we don’t want it to be our reality, but here you are. It happened to you. Or you chose it. Or fell into it. And now you need to figure out what to do next.
Maybe you’re feeling angry, inadequate.
Maybe you feel like your world has been turned upside down.
You don’t know what’s real anymore.
You wonder what’s wrong with you that you weren’t good enough for your partner.
You wonder what’s wrong with your partner that caused things to change.
Maybe you felt like you needed something just for you. Just once. Maybe more than once.
You feel betrayed.
You’re drowning in guilt and embarrassment.
You feel disconnected and confused.
You’re not sure where to go from here.
You want all of this to just go away and to never have happened.
You want to feel desired again.
You want to feel worthy.
You want to feel whole and complete again.
You want to understand what happened and why.
You want repair. For your relationship, for yourself.
You hope you’re not the only one who has ever felt this way. (Hint: you’re not)
You want to move forward, but you’re at a loss as to where to even start.
Infidelity doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship or a death sentence for your self esteem.
It IS possible to build a bridge over it.
I’m here to tell you: You CAN get to the other side and rebuild something new. Something stronger and better.
Healing is possible.
