Caught Cheating? How to Move Forward After Being Unfaithful
3. Be smart
Don’t rely on your heart to tell you what to do, rely on your intellect. Do what logic tells you is the right thing to do. Make the hard decisions. Either leave the marriage to free your partner, or commit to stay. Remember, checking out of one relationship before you finish it appropriately doesn’t work. You cannot set a timeline for your man and when you think he should be “over it.” The truth of the matter is, he will never fully be “over it”, but might learn how to mentally move past the affair. When a person is hurting, they typically share their pain with the closest person to them. As their girlfriend or spouse, you are the one they will vent to, even though it is you that caused the pain. Additionally, you may feel as though since you’ve confessed, apologized and vowed to remain faithful, things should now return to normal. Nope. It’s not up to you.
