As a husband how to overcome infidelity of a wife.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

Overcoming infidelity in a relationship can be challenging and I am sorry you have to face it. First off, the process involves open communication and commitment from both partners. Having an honest conversation about the infidelity seems like a good start. Let it be out there in the open that there was infidelity and now you are moving forward from the sorrow and challenges it caused to making an effort to fix the crack it created in the foundation of your marriage. Seeking couples therapy to address underlying issues is a must. You can talk to your friends, and trusted family members, and ask for advice, but nothing beats seeking professional help.

Do not forget to prioritize self-care and you can also try individual counseling to process the emotions. Rebuilding a marriage after infidelity takes time and both parties should be committed to make it to the end. Do not have unrealistic expectations. It's a gradual process; it will take time but you will feel better one day. Patience and a shared dedication are the most important part of this healing journey.

Best Wishes!

I am 39 years old. Married for 10 years. My wife had an extramarital affair with one boy when I was working away from her since we were both 10 years old. I found her red-handedly. She is asking for sorry. She made a mistake she will not do in the future like that she is telling me. I accepted her because of my son, but the problem is, I still can't forget because I blindly trusted her a lot and she betrayed me. I am unable to work despite living with her. Sometimes I feel depressed. Kindly guide me on what should I do.
Ans: Dear Eswar,

Your feelings are completely valid. Dealing with infidelity in a relationship is very difficult. Simply because you have forgiven your partner does not necessarily mean you have forgotten about it or have mentally dealt with it well. I suggest having an open conversation about your feelings with your wife. It is true that one mistake should not be the deciding factor, still, cheating is a pretty big mistake to forgive. If it is taking you some time to get over it, your wife has to help you get through it. When you do it together, it also helps the marriage grow. The best course of action would be to see a marriage counselor to get more structured guidance out of this.

Remember you do not have to rush yourself to feel all better. Infidelity is a traumatic experience for the one on the receiving end. Take all the time you need to get through it. And don't hold back from sharing with your wife how you are feeling. Open communication helps more than you know.

Best Wishes.
