@amyonrelationships: If you cheated and you’re trying to rebuild trust, don’t wait for your partner to bring up the affair every time. When you’re having a good day and things finally feel calm, your instinct might be to leave it alone. You don’t want to ruin the moment or bring up something painful when your partner seems okay. But those calm moments can actually be an important part of affair recovery. Ask them: “How are you feeling today about what happened?” or “If you want to talk about the affair today, I’m here to listen.” When the betrayed partner always has to initiate these conversations, they’re also carrying the emotional load of the recovery. Bringing it up yourself shows that you haven’t forgotten what happened just because they aren’t talking about it. You’re showing them that you’re willing to sit with their feelings, answer questions, and be part of rebuilding the trust that was broken. If you are recovering from infidelity comment COURSE to be the first to know about my upcoming course on healing from betrayal. #AffairRecovery #InfidelityRecovery #BetrayalTrauma #BetrayalRecovery #RebuildingTrust
