Can a Relationship Get Back to Normal After Someone Cheats?
It will get back to normal, but it will be a new normal.
What is it you classify as normal? It will be a new normal
What’s your partners past? My ex had a fancy for multiple people. It’s like a buffet, she could help herself. She cheated on everyone she was with even though she denies it. She lives in a constant state of denial
I tried for a few years to work through it. It didn’t help she kept lying and cheating. It would be the smallest of lies, but with those came the bigger lies. The trust was shattered and beyond repair. Her manipulation conditioned me to believe she was someone she was not. My feelings NEVER mattered. It was painfully clear by her actions, but he words ended up being just words.
Are they doing everything in their power to help rebuild trust? In the beginning, they will do everything they can to keep you. But sooner than you think, the mask will slip once again. And you will become the problem. Not their lying, cheating and manipulation.
Here’s the thing, it will never be normal after betrayal. You may try and act like you forgot, that you healed and believe she loves you. That she mistakenly spread her legs, but you never forget. Disgust will permeate your soul.
