How Do I Forgive My Cheating Husband?

Women have struggled with this question since the beginning of time, but it is only recently that they have had the option of divorcing a cheating husband and starting a new life. It can be difficult to look on the bright side in the wake of an affair, but you need to remember that many marriages have survived and even grown stronger after a husband's infidelity has been revealed.

The number of marriages that involve adultery is quite shocking. One source claims that more than 40 percent of marriages involve emotional or physical infidelity on the part of one or both partners . What is really startling is that today, for the first time, husbands and wives are both committing adultery on an equal level. Among men, 57 percent admit to infidelity in a relationship, as compared to 54 percent of women.

These numbers may seem depressing, but you need to know that more than 30 percent of marriages are able to survive the revelation of adultery. Think about it: half of all marriages end in divorce, so this is not so bad. But how can you forgive your husband and move forward after he has broken your heart and your vows?

Give yourself time to deal with the shock


Adultery is not like confessing that he drinks milk straight from the carton, or that he forgot to take out the trash. It is a huge shock to your psyche. You need to take enough time to come to terms with what has happened, your emotional reaction to his infidelity, and what direction you want to take in the future.

Do not let him, or anyone else, try to coerce you into doing anything that you are not yet ready for. This could push you over the edge and make you pull away from everyone else. Retreating into solitude is not good for your emotional health, and it won't do anything to save your marriage.

It's okay to be selfish for a time


Do not worry about anyone else for a bit. Let your husband try to win back your trust and your forgiveness, though if you are planning on leaving him, it is best to tell him right away. Letting him squirm and grovel for a bit can be good for both of you. This won't eliminate your heartbreak and anger, but you can feel a bit better about things for a while. After all, after an affair, you may feel as if the world owes you something.

Forgiveness starts with you


Our culture teaches women that it is their fault when men cheat. Even in our supposedly progressive world, there are countless voices telling you that you must have done something to drive him away and make him cheat on you. You need to stop blaming yourself and feeling guilty for what he decided to do on his own. You are not responsible for his choices any more than he is for yours. He was the one who decided to cheat. If you can forgive yourself first, forgiving him will become a lot easier.

Finding a way to forgive him after adultery can be extremely painful and traumatic. By making sure that you follow this advice, you may be able to find your way to forgiveness more quickly than you thought you could.

Why Was my Wife Unfaithful to Me?

When you look at statistics today, the numbers on cheating are really quite startling. For a lot of men, the most surprising fact of all is that the number of wives who cheat is almost the same as the number of husbands who cheat. This has never happened in the history of mankind before.

What should be realized is that the reasons why women cheat are frequently vastly different from the reasons why men cheat. Here are several of the most frequently stated reasons why women cheat on their men.

Husband is not giving her what she needs

Everyone has needs. It is part of human nature. Successful relationships are based on both sides having their needs met. This requires a significant level of effective communication that addresses the individual needs, what those needs are, and how they are met in the best way. That's quite a challenge for a lot of couples. It is a major one.

The other challenge is that the woman does not always realize what that need is until someone else appears and astonishes her by fulfilling that need. It's difficult to compete with that. However, that still is not an excuse for her cheating either. It only makes her vulnerable to the man who is meeting this need that had left her feeling unfulfilled for such a long time.

The other man pays attention

Even though they are married, women who cheat often feel very lonely. You may not be wonderful in conversation, but when you don't pay attention to your wife and to what she says to you, it makes her feel lonely, isolated, and abandoned.

It makes her the perfect target for a man who is interested in a "no strings attached" relationship with a married woman or for a man who has the intention of winning over your wife. He just has to pay attention to her, listen to her when she talks, and respond in a positive manner. She becomes putty in his hands.

She feels like her husband is taking her for granted 

A lot of women don't feel appreciated at home. She feels discouraged that her husband and her family do not notice or appreciate her efforts. She feels like people take her for granted and that nobody really cares that she is really there.

Then a along comes a stranger who shows his appreciation for her, making her feel like the center of his world, and really noticing the smallest things. She no longer feels like she is taken for granted. In fact, she is feeling excitement and a wide range of emotions that she has not felt in a very long time.

Research shows that women are less likely to have an affair just because the chance is there. Frequently, it is not a casual decision. That is why women's affairs are often more devastating to the the marriage than the affairs of men.

You can actively strive to prevent this from happening by paying more attention to your wife, noticing the little details, showing her your appreciation, and devoting yourself to finding out and fulfilling her most important needs. You will be amazed at what a difference these little steps will make in the quality of your marriage and your relationship with your wife.
