How does the betrayed deal with comparisons to the affair partner(s)? This issue remains one of the most difficult, overwhelming and traumatizing aspects of infidelity. Why wasn't I enough? Why wasn't I enough for them to stay committed to the marriage? What was lacking in me or in our relationship that would lead them to go outside the marriage or relationship?

Today Max and I discuss how he's been able to heal from these questions and more. As a betrayed spouse, Max has continued to share his pain and arduous journey, displaying vulnerability and insight into how he's found clarity and peace with his wife's affairs and his own outcome.

Every situation is different and unique. No story is the same, however there are helpful insights that pertain to betrayed male and female partners across the globe. Comparing ourselves with affair partners is normal but both awful and paralyzing. But, it doesn't have to be. There is a way through and there is a way to grieve through the pain and ultimately heal. Today you'll hear more from Max and I as we share helpful insight into how to move forward into new life and new hope.

You're not alone and you're not without hope today.
