Marriage Survival Infidelity

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Can a relationship/marriage survive infidelity?

Has anyone had a successful infidelity survival story?

Yes, It does require a bit of patience and a good understanding between partners. Some relationships are based on open ended situations where the partners are not mutually exclusinve. This has tobe worked out well ahead of any living together or affermation of the relationship.

If one partner is unfaithful BUT both want it to remain intact, there has to be a lost of very honest and sincere discussion about what and how the transgression came to pass.

If jealousy exists in the relationship two things are sure to happen – There will be transgressions and eventually the relationship wll break up. Jealousy in a clear basis for lack of trust. That leads to interrogations, arguements and other impositions of one person on the other. That will not work.

Basically, the unfaithful person has to acknowledge that they made a mistake – assumning the wish to continue the realtionship and will maintain a commitment not to do it again.

If it does happen a second – or more – time, than you have to decide whether to keepp the relationship together knowing that you partner is weak and liable to be unfaithful. Remember something else. Even if a person is unfaithful to the realtionship, the nig questions is – do they came “Home”. If the do, without being chased, then there is definite desire to maintain the relationship. Build on that and don’t worry about anything else.
