Number 5: When His Helping, Isn't Actually Helping
As the partner who betrayed works through their recovery, we often see that they start to increase their efforts to help their partner. They may help out more with the kids, take the trash out without being asked, or bring home dinner when their partner is having a hard day. The betrayed partner may find themselves rejecting these efforts, which causes both partners to become frustrated, angry, and disconnected. The partner who betrayed starts wondering why these kind gestures aren’t working. On this episode of Choose to Be, we will talk about what to do when helping doesn’t actually help, and we’ll share what you can do instead that will make a difference in your relationship. Join us for the conversation on questions such as: What’s behind the trying? How can you use curiosity and communication to grow closer together? What is the role of emotion and logic in communication? What is the betrayed partner really looking for?
