If you’re in the midst of the aftermath of infidelity you’ve probably asked yourself this question at least once. “Am I crazy to want to stay in this relationship?”
Wondering if you should stay makes so much sense when your partner has engaged in infidelity and shattered your trust into a million little pieces. In fact, this is one of the first questions you might ask yourself in the aftermath of infidelity. Chances are when you think of staying you can’t avoid thinking of it as a weakness. It is even more difficult to make sense of staying when you have people around you suggesting you must leave your cheating partner. So, what do you do then?
