The most serious obstacle and threat to the future of a relationship is considered to be cheating.

Adultery or simply unfaithfulness of one of the partners does not always put an end to the relationship, but it causes serious damage, trauma and calls into question the possibility of trust in the couple.

Let's try to figure out whether it is possible to restore a relationship after cheating and how to do it.

First, you need to decide on the motive.

It is hardly worth working to save a union in which the cheater has not repented and does not intend to do so in the future.

In this case, there are usually two options: either divorce or transition to an open relationship.

Experts advise the victim to start working on self-esteem and self-respect.

If this is not done, then there will be no options left except divorce.

How to proceed

1. Don't put all the blame on your partner.

2. In any case, you need to maintain respect for yourself and your partner.

3. When trying to explain the reason for what happened, do not justify either yourself or your other half.

4. If there is remorse and recognition of the mistake, then trust can still be restored. If the partner has withdrawn, then time is needed to think everything through carefully.

5. If you manage to improve your relationship, you need to demonstrate your willingness to improve, not hide your correspondence, social networks, and messengers.

In any case, you need to be prepared for the fact that instant forgiveness will not follow, because first you need to be sure that the situation will not repeat itself in the future.
