When you find out your spouse cheated, you will have a wave of emotion and pain. Your trauma is legit and real.

The tips in this video will help you learn how to cope with infidelity and teach you how to survive an affair.

Yes, a marriage can survive if you want it to, but it will take some work. Furthermore, you will have to take steps to heal yourself regardless of what your spouse does.

Partner betrayal trauma is relational trauma which is created by broken trust, unfaithfulness, and a loss of confidence in your partnership, relationship, or marriage. This trauma can be caused by things like spousal neglect, cheating, infidelity, dishonesty, deception, romantic relationship betrayal, rejection, or other circumstances which cause you to lose faith in your partner or significant other.

If you have been betrayed by your spouse or significant other by infidelity, sex addiction, or intimacy anorexia, you have certainly experienced the effects of partner betrayal trauma. Your trust was abused, betrayal, and discarded. These pages, tests, and resources are just for you.

Your betrayal is real. Your trauma from the betrayal of your partner is very real. It is not just real personally but also real statistically. You’re not the same person before and after trauma. You have been impacted significantly. You most likely have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depression, and your trust has been violated at every level.

Your partner betrayal trauma is unique to you and your journey to heal will be unique as well. We have tests, three- and five-day intensives, phone counseling, phone groups, books, DVDs, and other resources to help you reclaim your life back. You can join our Facebook recovery groups as well.

You are worth recovery and healing for yourself. Take your time and go through what is offered here for you to heal and reclaim your life.

Thank you for this video. I found out 2 years ago. My husband cheated with his married coworker.

As a betrayed husband who struggled with getting affection from my wife even before her emotional affair, is there any hope that she can soften her heart?
Been married for 26 years and it's been 5 years since D-Day. Want so much to find a way to reconnect.

I want to talk to someone. I've been awake all night watching your devotionals and videos on cheating. I'm in so much pain right now but I can't afford counseling

In your professional opinion could you tell me if the marriage can survive infidelity if that specific infidelity was specified as off limits and a deal breaker before marriage? And when approached about it lies and gaslighting happened with such ease that only finding evidence caused them to "confess". More infidelity came out only when there was a possibility of discovery. The person didn't last long in therapy and does not do anything that has been specified for building trust other than claiming to have stopped the infidelity.

How to deal with a betrayal trauma when everything seemed to go perfect between the couple but the girl was having a second relationship all along which the guy wasn't even aware of till now? This is too tragic! 💔

I wish I could come to Colorado springs. I need to go. This is so hard on me. I'm 39 years old and just had a baby boy with him 5 months ago today. I found out about them while I was still pregnant but it was supposedly over months ago and it's not. I'm in so much pain right now it's unbearable

I found out about my husbands affair on his phone. It went on for 2 years. He says he never slept or touched her. But that’s not what the texts says. He won’t stop lying. He doesn’t understand my hurt and he gets angry when I cry not sure why I am still here. He has a porn issue he won’t admit to and multiple trips to the strip clubs.
He thinks I am being controlling by not wanting him to go to bars. That’s where all this started his phone make me sick to my stomach. And he is with holding sex from me since I found out. Says he is tired or his knees hurts.
Please tell me where to start healing I can’t stop crying 😢
