Sometimes people develop feelings towards a third person even after being married and loyal to a spouse.
Such an act of infidelity can bring short-term happiness but at the same time it will make the involved people pay a hefty price that they might cost them happiness and in some cases, their marriage as well.
And once a person realises his or her mistake, it might not be easy to end an extramarital relationship.
In case, you are going through the same situation or know someone facing the same, here’s a little help to mend the ways and come out clean, if not unharmed.
1. Find the cause of the affair
2. Should you tell your spouse about your affair?
3. Restricting all interactions
4. Both the offending and non-offending spouses must accept their responsibility
5. The victimized partner should not pursue the lover
6. The spouses should work on communication skills, building trust
When one spouse goes astray, it’s obvious that the other spouse would have trust issues and it will reflect on their communication. There might be frequent fights and disagreements and it’s not surprising to find couples giving each other silent treatment after discovering such breach of trust. But this is not the time to withhold from healthy communication. Both spouses should work on building trust and improving their communication skills.
Ending an extramarital affair is not an easy task. But once you make up your mind, do not hesitate to act upon it and if required take guidance from marriage counsellors or experts.
