Affairs are so often the death knell for many a marriage and relationship, but you know what? It doesn’t have to be this way. In my practice the majority of couples who come to me in this situation where one or other party [or very rarely both] have had an affair actually succeed in surviving an affair rebuilding their relationship and have gone on with their lives stronger, happier and more connected than they were before.
If you are currently in the position of trying desperately to stop your divorce or saving your marriage, you can succeed if you follow some straightforward steps. This is some of the most important advice on relationships I feel I can offer. Here are 5 simple steps that can help you both to get through this situation.
1/ Don’t look at the situation as a BAD THING. Why the heck not I hear you say. This is the reason, and its name is feedback. If something goes badly wrong in your life, you are actually being given a clear message that things need to change and an opportunity to put things right, and this is actually a very positive thing!
2/ Dont focus on blaming your partner for what has happened. Yes one or both members of the relationship have betrayed the others trust, however by only focusing on blame and recrimination you will never move forward.
3/ Another crucial thing is not to take the blame for your partners actions. They took the action not you.
4/ The basic reason why any person has an affair is having needs met that are not being met in their marriage or relationship. These relationship needs can be sexual mental spiritual or emotional. By talking honestly and openly about these needs without anger or blame both people can gain a new and powerful awareness of each other’s relationship needs .
5/ It is vital that you take responsibility for your own actions and feelings, rather than trying to shift the blame to the other person. “I had an affair because I felt unloved and undesired physically” is taking responsibility for yourself. By using the “I” word couples can talk about their relationship situation without the other person feeling attacked and consequently feeling they have to respond defensively.
