Infidelity - one partner cheating on the other, is one of the biggest causes of relationship breakups. If your mate cheated on you, or you on them, you know it feels like a bomb went off in the relationship. Because when trust is damaged, one person almost always feel like I can never trust him/her again.
This demonstrates how essential trust is to love and intimacy. When trust has been broken by infidelity, we often feel (at least for a while) that there's little hope of trusting again. Even if there is a lot we love about our partner, we don't see how we can be intimate and close with them again after such a betrayal.
However, trust can be rebuilt, and it must be, in order for the relationship to have any chance. And, it can begin to be restored in minutes. Heres whats needed:
A Deep Apology is necessary. Not an easy to brush off apology, but a true, deep apology. There are different levels of apologizing, and most people don't realize this. A Deep Apology is powerful.
To begin to restore the trust in your relationship, a deep apology is required. Deep apologies are much more that just saying I'm sorry, even if you really mean it.
Deep Apologies involve several different steps. One step is to accept blame for what you did, and another important step is to mirror the emotional pain or damage you caused your mate by cheating on them. I think I made you feel ashamed and broken-hearted is a mirroring statement that helps your mate feel deeply understood.
There are some other steps involved, but at the least don't think saying "I'm sorry" can return things to the status quo. A deep apology requires as much listening as it does talking on your part.
If you are the one who was cheated on, and you want to get past the infidelity, there are also ways you can ask your mate to fess up and tell you how they think it made you feel. This will help you begin to let go of the hurt feelings. Again, there is more to all of this, but you can get past infidelity and save your relationship or marriage if you use some Emotional Intelligence to help restore the broken trust. - 14915
