After all of the anniversaries and memories, finding out that your husband broke his wedding vows by cheating on you is such a hard thing to deal with. There's nothing worse than feeling like you've been betrayed and that you lost your lover and best friend. And who could blame you? After spending so many years with the love of your life and raising a beautiful family together, only for him to cheat, there's no question that this betrayal is totally devastating. As crazy as it sounds, even though his affair seriously hurt you, it doesn't mean that it's not possible for you guys to find your way back together.
When author Dr. Sue Johnson, YourTango Experts Senior VP Melanie Gorman and EFT trainers Elana Katz, Zoya Simakhodskaya, and George Faller talk about how cheating shatters everything you've come to know and trust in your relationship, we can't help but second that notion. Being cheated on is one of the biggest injuries that can happen to your relationship because of the intimacy that you shared with your husband — But it doesn't mean that your relationship can't heal. Even if it's going to take some work to trust him again, you can overcome this with the right help.
