Oct 22, Infidelity Guilt

Is your infidelity guilt stopping you from saving your marriage?

The most common ground for a romantic relationship coming to an end is infidelity. As per the statistic presented by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy 25% of the relationships end due to this.

However, it is not the act of infidelity that is most important. Sometimes the realization factor of the culprit and his or her guilt is the driving force to the ultimate result of the relationship. If one realizes how grave and selfish an act of unfaithfulness is and is guilty of committing it then there are ways for that individual to redeem his or her self.

The cardinal rule to remember in case of infidelity is that the partner who has been unfaithful is the one to blame. The notion of the other partner having driven the former to commit this breach of faith is completely misleading. No matter how inadequate one is in a relationship, using it as an excuse to justify unfaithfulness is not fair.

One there is dissatisfaction on the part of any of the partners in a relationship there are ways to sort it out. Instead of tackling the problem if one decides to find solace in someone outside the relationship, it is purely selfish.

This is applicable not only in case of marriage, but also in case of a relationship between in a boy and a girl before marriage. The two people involved in the act of infidelity are to be blamed for the consequences because they know how wrong they are by indulging in such an act. However, a relationship that had been hanging on a thread even before one of the partners decided to be unfaithful is a different issue.

Often it is assumed that the reason why one of the partners has been unfaithful is because the relationship was on the rocks. However, this should never be taken for granted. Maybe the relationship was going through a rough time. But that should never be a reason to be unfaithful to one?s partner. However, if one does commit infidelity in such already troubled times that might be the final blow, eventually ending the relationship.

Anyone who has been cheated on in a relationship will know that the fact that one in every four persons in America suffer from unfaithful romantic partners is hardly a consolation to one?s own bruised heart. It takes a lot of time to heal the wounds and forget the feeling of betrayal.

There are quite a number of cases where couples have worked through unfaithful relationships to build a more tenacious bond between them. This is mostly done to avoid the consequences of a divorce in the family and the effect it will have on children.

However, there are those who cannot get over an act of infidelity done to them. The only way they can come out of the turmoil is by coming out of the relationship.

But in both cases one needs the support of friends and family to heal from the hurt, anger and betrayal.
