Ask The Betrayed

EP 9: Is The Unfaithful Really Sorry of Just Sorry They Got Caught


Listen Later

Are they truly sorry—or just sorry they got caught? In this powerful episode of Ask the Betrayed, Sharon and Rae unpack one of the most pressing questions betrayed partners ask after infidelity. Together, they explore how to recognize genuine remorse versus surface-level regret and why that distinction matters for recovery.

You'll learn:

✅ The difference between remorse (healing-focused) and regret (self-focused resentment). ✅ How betrayed partners can sense the difference between "I'm sorry for what I did to you" and "I'm sorry I feel bad." ✅ Why understanding betrayal trauma is essential for the unfaithful to rebuild trust. ✅ The role of transparency and living amends in proving change over time. ✅ Practical examples of what real accountability and empathy look like in daily life.

This episode blends professional insights, real client stories, and lived experience to give both betrayed and unfaithful partners a roadmap toward clarity, safety, and lasting repair.

💡 Key takeaway: Saying "I'm sorry" is not enough. True remorse is shown in action—through transparency, empathy, and a long-term commitment to healing both yourself and your relationship.
