Being cheated on is no fun. It sucks. In this age of social media, the "affair" can take on a variety of forms, from reconnecting online with an old flame, a new flame, through text and email with a colleague. Even if the "partner" was in her mind, as in pornography or an emotional affair based on fantasy, it hurts. Some partners have even felt rejected for teen/adult romance novels and a life of fantasy and sexual self-satisfaction. Men are sometimes overlooked when it comes to how women act out (or in) when it comes to romance, sex and "love. This podcasts addressed those emotions, and takes a deep look into why guys stay, and what it means. If she's truly working her recovery, is making changes and doing her part to repair the damage done, you might want to give it another go. Your family and friends might not get it. While it's important to check in with others so you don't get taken advantage of again, it is also important you make this decision in a way you that leaves you with no regrets. The decision is yours. We just want to give you a few things to think about, and real changes to look for if you are considering repair instead of divorce.

Let's talk about triggers and how to deal with your own. It's natural to wonder what's going on in her mind, what she's thinking about, and if it's him. There is a big difference between concern and obsession though. If you start ruminating and getting stuck worrying about the future though, you won't be able to get the recovery and healing you need, or make the important decisions before you.

Also covered:

trigger tracking

mindfulness

intentional focus
