Are you trying to forgive and forget after infidelity, but with no success? Have you found moving on to be almost impossible? You’re probably losing hope that you’ll ever be happy with the person who betrayed you. Could it be that you’re doing it all wrong? Hang in there and listen to this episode to find out.
You’re past the shock phase of finding out infidelity happened in your relationship. Some time may have passed and you decided to stay and work things out. You’ve been wanting to heal, but you still find yourself in dark places. Depressed, irritable, and anxious are only some words to describe how you feel after infidelity. But here’s the thing: it has been a while and your partner (and maybe others) expects you to feel better already. You hear “You’ve got to move on”, “You need to forgive and forget”, and “We need to turn a new page”. The pressure to get past this isn’t helping and is only making you less hopeful.
It’s not that you don’t want to do all of the above. You probably secretly pray that the pain will go away and that you wouldn’t care as much. Oh, wouldn’t it be amazing not feeling hurt so badly? Not having to wake up and go to sleep thinking about it? How about not having to see life as the before or after your trust was broken?
