Infidelity is something that can ruin your marriage and even yourself if you will not deal with it accordingly. Maybe the very first thing that comes into your mind after you discover that your spouse is having an affair is to shut down your own world believing it will end all those piercing pains. But that does not the way it should be, first you need to heal yourself.
You must be strong enough to deal with your partner’s infidelity. I know underneath your hurts and anger you also wanted to be one of these “strong people” and be brave enough just to show to your cheating spouse that you are better off without him. But underneath that unyielding pains and anger, you know to yourself that you feel crushed and feel like a doormat tromped on by your spouse as he walked out on you. Yes, it is normal to feel broken and defeated but don’t withdraw to life. There are boundless possibilities and wonderful things ahead of you. This is something I guarantee you, in time you will feel normal again, and you will recover from this traumatic experience and will be stronger.
