Infidelity

“Confronting infidelity is really about coping with betrayal. It’s all about holding the other person accountable for that betrayal and honoring yourself in the process.”

According to the General Social Survey conducted annually since 1972 by the University of Chicago, 10 percent of spouses admit infidelity.  In an age where social media is accessible by nearly everyone, this trend is not likely to decrease.  If it happens to you, what lies ahead for your relationship?  Can it survive?  The fact is that it can with the help of a relationship professional and as hard as may be to believe, relationships can recover from infidelity and be much stronger.  It's important to first understand that infidelity is often a sign that the relationship was in trouble to begin with.  As healing occurs, it is important that a couple address those issues that may have contributed to one partner going outside the relationship in search of something missing in the relationship.
