Sometimes, working with a therapist helps couples separate. But, you want skills, so you don’t fly off the handle with anger. So, you can remain calm and respectful with each other. At times, it is best to leave the partnership. However, affairs and cheating are not the way to get there. In couples counseling, therapists often help couples who are having affairs sort things out. Also, if you or your partner is having an affair, this is a relationship issue.
What does having an affair mean?
Well, it means you both need professional help with emotional communication. And, affairs are taboo in the American culture too. Plus, they are hurtful for all people involved. Yes, the person having the affair does harm to themselves. And, the person being cheated on is hurt as well. To note, creating betrayal is often a PTSD and trauma response as well.
