There Are One of Two Ways to Handle Infidelity in a Marriage
One is easy, the other more difficult, choose wisely.
I’ll give the hardest one first: Leave. That’s it. Kick the cheating asshole to the curb and don’t listen to excuses or believe their bullshit.
No, most marriages aren’t supposed to be forever. Don’t believe your priest, pastor, or whoever is feeding your mind with bullshit that this can actually be salvaged. It’s a sacred bond, right? One where all storms are battled and you never throw in the towel? Bullshit!
Very few love themselves in today’s society, and to think another human can love you when they cheated, well, don’t fool yourself. Love is hard enough without throwing cheating in the mix. They didn’t love themselves when they cheated, and they sure as hell didn’t love you.
It had nothing to do with you. It’s who they are; it’s in their DNA.
The second choice, Stay
That’s right. Believe everything they tell you. Go waste money on marriage counseling; yeah, that will work.
The problem is you should have had individual therapy before getting married, and you may have seen through the bullshit.
