The devastating words "just move on" after betrayal often cause more harm than the infidelity itself. Like an elephant stubbornly refusing to leave the room, unaddressed betrayal trauma grows larger the more we attempt to ignore it. This raw, honest conversation delves into why rushing the healing process sabotages genuine recovery and creates deeper wounds for both partners.

When betrayal shatters your reality, hearing that you should "get over it" feels like being betrayed all over again. This dismissal creates a secondary trauma—silencing your pain, invalidating your emotions, and blocking the accountability necessary for true healing. Through exploring ten reasons why "just move on" fails, we uncover how avoidance tactics like sweeping affairs "under the rug" create emotional distance that becomes impossible to bridge without confronting uncomfortable truths.

For those struggling with a partner unwilling to engage in repair, this episode offers validation and practical guidance. Healing is possible even when your spouse refuses to help, but it shouldn't be done alone. By choosing courage over comfort and facing pain rather than avoiding it, betrayed partners can reclaim their power and create lasting healing—whether the relationship survives or not. Your future self deserves the gift of complete healing, not the false promise of moving on before you've had the chance to process what happened.
