EP12 - Infidelity: Why us?
“I cannot believe my partner cheated on me.” “I feel so betrayed.” “How could my partner do this to me?” “I never thought this would happen to me or in my relationship.” “It is all my partner’s fault!” “Our relationship is ruined!”
Infidelity can feel absolutely devastating. Infidelity can shatter all expectations of trust, mutuality, love, future, and commitment. But what if I told you that it did not have to ruin your life, or even your relationship, forever? The way we define infidelity can vary widely by person and couple, but also so can the outcomes. With proper support, many couples actually report having a stronger relationship after this betrayal than before. Let us tell you how to help prevent it, but also proper next steps to move beyond it!
Join us, Dr. Greg Seibert and Dr. Kimberly Murray, as we unpack the complexity of infidelity, identify warning signs that your relationship may be at risk, and tips to recover following infidelity on Episode 12 of our podcast, Relationships Inside Out. We discuss how each partner can do their part in safe-guarding the relationship and building a healthy, trusting relationship.
If you find any of our episodes helpful to you, please share with those that you love! Let us know what you think about what you want us to talk about next by emailing us at [email protected]!
Next Tuesday, we dive into anxiety, detailing what it looks like, how it can impact your life, and tools to actually overcome it! Later topics include: navigating the transition into parenthood, depression, battling personal insecurities, self-compassion, boundaries, managing family relationships, and so much more!
