The sense of betrayal that comes with the act of infidelity and when it gets found out is sometimes simply too much for the relationship to handle and leaves the betrayed partner with a sense of loss, grief and mistrust that can affect them for years to come.

The act of having an emotional, romantic or sexual relationship with someone other than your partner can be the most painful and bond-breaking betrayal that a relationship can go through. 

​

For some couples, although it shatters the sense of trust that is the foundation of their relationship, they can slowly rebuild the sense of trust and belonging that was lost and the relationship can begin on the path of healing and growth through the hard and often painful work, of talking through all the raw emotions, doubts and uncertainties that this experience has brought to their relationship in the therapeutic setting, .

A consequence of this slow rebuilding process through marriage counselling is that it cause the couple to build a new foundation, that takes account of the infidelity and together you start to make sense of it and your relationship, in a different way, that can create the level of trust and companionship you desire.
