Surviving Infidelity
Can a marriage survive infidelity?
Just a general question and would like to see what some people think. Obviously every situation is different, but this is just a general question.
Can a marriage survive infidelity, if the offending spouse is remorseful and the affair is over?
If yes, why and how?
If no, why?
Personal experiences are always welcomed 
Yes….if the cheater realizes what he has done and how much hurt he has caused. The cheater has to take total responsibility for the choice that was made and set up preventative measures that will keep it from ever happening again. Also, the cheater needs to know that if there would be another betrayal in this marriage that there will never ever be a second chance again. The marriage will need counseling to understand why it happened and direction in the marriage to help deal with the pain, loss of trust issues and how to rebuild the relationship.
NO…. the relationship will not survive if the cheater feels no remorse for his actions and continues to give the spouse any indication that he is out cheating again. No trust can rebuild itself on someone that continues to do what they want and when they want and does not include the spouse.As long as the cheater believes that they should have all the freedom as before the betrayal the relationship is doomed. If they do not understand that everything is different now and that it will take a long time before trust can be earned the marriage will not survive. Also, if the couple in the marriage try to work all these problems and issues out on their own they will not make it because you can only learn how to live with what has happened but the hurt and pain will always be there and never forgotten. This is where you have to both learn how to support one another through the down times and lift one another up and stay focused on the here and now. If a couple thinks that they can heal themselves without total commitment to fixing what is wrong in the first place marriage will never survive infidelity.
