Treason: what to do and how to survive?

He's late at work again... He's cold... He avoids looking you in the eye, as if he's hiding something. A frightening thought creeps into your head: has THIS happened? Is he, so dear, loved, the only one - no longer only yours? Did he cheat?...

She's always been a smart girl. You wouldn't have known anything, never, if by mistake (which she rarely, very rarely makes) she hadn't forgotten her cell phone at home, and if some devil hadn't yanked you to read a text message that had just arrived on her phone. From a friend. Your friend! But its content is not friendly at all.....

When the person you love the most cheats on you, it's incredibly painful. Unfortunately, many, very many people face it. But few can then go through life as before - with their heads held high... Naturally, women are much more often victims of cheating. This is probably due to the peculiarities of the psychology of men, who even being an exemplary husband and loving father, can not still take his eyes off the chiseled legs of a charming stranger walking towards him. But to say that the weaker sex in this part is sinless - it means to deceive, because sometimes a man gets from the woman he loves a blow in the literal sense below the belt, learning that, for example, brings up not his child ....

So what should you do if you suddenly find out you've been cheating?

Naturally, the emotional flurry from this news can rival the strongest natural hurricane. But nevertheless - try to cope with it.

Don't do anything right away - decisions made in an emotional heat are very rarely the right ones, and more often only make things worse.

If you can't cope, give some outlet to your emotions, for example, by breaking a couple of cups or plates. But under no circumstances should you complain to family and friends, make a scandal and demand a divorce until the flow of emotions subsides and your head clears.

From the moment when you found out about the cheating of your loved one, some time has passed, you have already come to your senses a little. It is time to understand what happened. Cheating has a variety of reasons, from a banal misunderstanding to a vital position and great love, but no longer to you. But most cheating happens for quite worldly reasons, which are only a few.

Need to find out the reasons why your loved one cheated on you?

Misunderstanding

After a stoner party, you suddenly wake up in the morning in someone else's house next to a stranger (stranger), or a good buddy (buddy). This is clearly a misunderstanding, from such an incident is unlikely to ever grow a serious relationship. If with your soulmate there was such a misunderstanding, you can at least be sure that it is not love on the side.

Desire for variety

Desire for new, more thrilling sensations and emotions: characteristic of both men and women. But men more often go about this desire than women. After all, it's no secret that family life is quite boring, household petty troubles get and cause the desire to escape somewhere. Here for some men cheating is such a way of escape from the routine of everyday life.

A desire to get away from the uncomfortable, tense atmosphere in the home

And this reason is directly related to you. A man does not want to go home, if there he is not waiting for a hot dinner and the embrace of his beloved wife, and endless complaints about relatives / bosses / children / state and an endless stream of claims and reproaches. If a man treats his wife without respect, she too will not leave things as they are. Both he and she will find someone who will listen, understand and at least partially give what they do not have at home.

Life position

It can be expressed by the common saying "A wife is for the house, and a mistress is for the soul". Naturally, the overwhelming number of carriers of such a philosophy are men. Often mistress for such a man - part of the status (as well as the wife). Among women, this is not common, and if a lady takes a polygamous position, she often avoids marriage altogether, and if she marries, it is for reasons other than love.

Love for the opposite sex

It can be said that a womanizer is a diagnosis. It is simply impossible to reeducate or remake such a person, the more forbidden fruit, the sweeter. In women, such behavior is extremely rare, affecting and peculiarities of the psyche, and the peculiarities of the perception of such behavior by society.

A new love

No one is immune to it. It is a tragedy for both the cheater and the one who has been cheated on. For the former, love pushes him to break up the family. For the second - pain and the prospect of being alone. Even if the cheater (or cheater) gives up that love and keeps the family together, the relationship will never be the same, and the one guilty of cheating will always think about what it would have been like if he had left ...

So, with the reasons for cheating sorted out. Find out what made your soul mate decide to cheat, a frank conversation would help. However, do not turn this conversation into a scandal, because its purpose is not to humiliate a person, but to understand why he did so, and what you now do with it.

Whether or not to forgive is entirely up to you.

The main thing is to make a decision to break up or leave everything as it is not on the basis of emotions, but on a fresh head, weighing all the pros and cons. Sometimes it is very difficult, because on one side of the scale is your dignity, and on the other - built over many years of relationship. Often only a psychologist can help a confused victim of infidelity to overcome this trauma.
