What hurts me the most is when my partner shuts down by saying, "I just don't know what to do or say to help you." And I'm screaming out on the inside, "You knew exactly how to break me, why don't you know how to fix me." It's not rational, but that's how it feels.

The continued defensiveness, retorts, blame shifting is what is killing me. Its consistent abandonment.

My husband tries to do big things for me AND makes sure everyone....family, friends, church, work ....know the things he does. Nothing is ever private. So who is it really for? Me? Or for him to promote himself to others, so he looks like such a good guy for all that he has done.. That too inflames the distrust.

Abandonment really is the worst part of it all. Cheating/deception it's a harsh mind game to wrap your head around but the abandonment is like uppercut to your spirit. Abandonment feels like you're not worth the effort to fix the hurt that happened to you. It makes you feel lower than low, that youre not worth their time. It's a new heartbreak over an open wound.

Low moral indesent person. I'm starting my healing process, but I have a lot of rage. She broke me and she makes no attempts to fix me. I'm realizing it's not up to her to fix me, it's up to me. And that is the same for you brother

Pornography addiction has the same results on a relationship. You might be lusting at the screen, but you're lusting outside your marriage/relationship. For those moments your spouse doesn't exist.

Absolutely on point! This is exactly how I feel. But I am supposed to just get over it and move on. The lack of empathy is just overwhelming. I am not allowed to talk about it because it’s just too uncomfortable for him. He won’t go to counseling with me or even for himself.

My husband said he was sorry and then he wants to love bomb me. He’s afraid I’m going to leave so it’s a response of fear. I just need space from him. He’s hurt the trust, the love, and skewed my view of the world. The love bombing is very annoying because it never lasts.

My husband cheated on me a week into my marriage and never stopped but will not sign our divorce agreement. He didn't break my heart he pulverised it into dust. Cheating so many times is simply abusive. We separated years ago when I found out he had a baby with his mistress. My son was the same age as hers. Our only minor child is 10, the others are grown up but I have had to co-parent for years. Each time I see my husband he begs me to come home but I cannot stand the sight of him and I only swallow my tongue for my son. I believe it was because time and time I tried to speak to him and he refused. After feeling abandoned and rejected so many times I simply built a wall and refused to let him in ever again. How can someone refuse to let me go but never cared for me in the marriage. I just want to be free of him and free of my past so I can heal and move on.

It has been a daily struggle all this time and now I feel re-betrayed and wondering how much longer can we last.

My husband said he was sorry, but continued to do the same thing. He won't leave me . I wish he would so I can move on he just keeps going like nothing happened. It's too late in the process of him betraying me, I found someone else. It just hurts me because everything feels like a lie. It's been 5 years and I still can't move on, I mean what is he waiting for , either leave or show some remorse or an attempt to make things better , still nothing.

We can't undo our betrayals but we can prevent how long it affects our relationships, our health, our work, and our lives. The gift in betrayal is it lays the foundation in transformation if we're willing to use the experience as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Being cheated on in a marriage often affects one for the rest of their lives. It is a massive life changing event - Whether one stays married or not. We can grow and be better in many ways, but the scar will always be there. The wound is too profound to pretend otherwise. I agree we can still go on to live beautiful, productive lives. But the possibility of still being hurt when that wound is touched will always be there. Being cheated on in a marriage changes who you are. It is the most painful & destructive thing most people will ever experience in their lifetime.

My partner wounded me and our relationship in a grave way right in the middle of our pregnancy. He wanted to separate and “hurry up and be done” with me and I had no energy to fight him for his freedom. Now that I am open to rebuilding a foundation strictly rooted in commonality as parental partners, he feels entitled to a second chance at romance. He told me “you’re using these wounds as a crutch to not meet me where I’m at.” My jaw has been dropped since. I can’t believe this man. I’m still pregnant, and he is still feeling entitled to the privilege that my romantic love is. It’s wild he feels so worthy of a second chance but I’m somehow not worthy or allowed due process? Crazy. * *sends him this video* *

Let me give a little Insight to those who betrayed. From a betrayed aspect. Have you ever been extremely angry at someone, and then they try to do something funny or nice and all you feel is anger in the moment and dont want to engage them in a way that makes them feel like everything is ok? That's exactly how it feels for a betrayed. Only X a million. You want to acknowledge the person's efforts. But you are so hurt and angry that it hurts to give that person anything positive. You dont want them getting the idea that everything is ok. So be patient. Keep trying. Every little bit you do, does indeed chip away that hurt. It will never be gone fully, but your efforts can help make right, what you wronged.

dre L.S. Is so true. I suspect my husband is cheating, I have caught him in lying. With a coworker wen I have warn him to stay away from her because I noticed how they are behaving, it hurt so much. Even though he denied it. My heart tells me otherwise. I can’t seem to get pass the hurt. I know I need to forgive. This will help me not them. I Ben married 36 years and my marriage it’s Ben rocky for more than 17 years. I stay with him not for me but for my children. Now they are grown and gone and I need to make a decision weather I stay or leave or get counseling. I know I must move on.

many unf spouses do this. it's unfortunately more common than you think. they would often times rather live in denial as they don't want to admit to it and don't want to embrace the reality of their choices and consequences. i think if you have irrefutable proof, you may need to consider pulling back from them and creating space for them to get healthy and get help. if they are refusing to get help, even after proof, that says something very concerning about their mental state and their emotional state and how they care for you as their spouse/partner.

New person M .. I understand how you feel. It’s really hard to say no and then get blamed for being mean. However, that is the key. Is to continue to say no. You are not to blame for their feelings. They are responsible for their own feelings. Here is an example of a boundary that I use in my marriage...if my husband gets defensive and blames me for saying to no to something I calmly let him know “ if you are going to continue to speak to me that way then I’m leaving the room and will be glad to speak with you when you are calmed down”. The choice is up to him. I do not have stand for someone’s else’s inability to handle their emotions. Just as I would expect my husband to tell me the same thing. Boundaries force the other person to take responsibility for their actions and it’s uncomfortable for those that don’t want to do that. I hope this helps you. I’ll be praying for you and your situation as well.

i'm very sorry for that my friend. that's very abusive and narcissistic.

I caught him cheating and left with our kids, he followed us and swore he would change and fight for us. I kept catching him lying and hiding things, micro cheating/crossing boundaries but he'd get defensive and say I was overreacting and he wasn't doing anything wrong. I caught him talking to another girl after we had a baby and he ended up leaving our family for her. He said he couldn't handle my insecurities and wanted something new. So he's living g his new life with her while the kids and I are trying to heal and move forward

I can relate to so many of these comments. Just a few days ago it was confirmed that my husband betrayed me. I’m cycling through a few emotions right now, but I feel I have been very gracious considering the situation. He does not know how to communicate deeper frustrations, which has led to lots of conflict in the past. I let him know before, and again, that he can turn to me. The problems worsen with him turning to other distractions. I am very good at expressing my emotions, and he can’t handle it. I understand the cheater going into defense mode, which is why I’ve been pretty damn calm. But then he still does not put in enough effort into dealing with the current situation. I’ve told him how that comes off as dismissive. And how dare the betrayer have an attitude with the betrayed over how they respond? And many of them will try to criticize your response as a way to deflect from what they’ve done. Incredibly frustrating...

What about if the betrayed becomes the ideal betrayed because the unfaithful says something like: I’m thinking about divorcing you because I don’t think you can handle this problem. So you can never share your hurt or trauma because if he sees how upset and sad you are he’ll divorce you. For being hurt. If you don’t pretend like everything is ok he’ll leave you. Even though you’ve been faithful to him and strived to forgive. So when I’m hurt or shaking with trauma I keep it to myself. I have kids and no abuse is going on. So to keep my family together I’ll keep my tears to myself or I’ll force them to stop. I don’t feel like I can talk to anyone.

Usual control and manipulation from the unfaithful spouse,happened to me too.Before he abandoned me,he always threaten to leave if ever I’ll confide their double betrayal to our common friends,relatives and family.That’s how miserable,isolated and how bad his mental and emotional abuse he inflicted on me not to mention their bold and shameless advances as if they don’t care I existed.

I spent more than a year in a dark hole of hating myself for my actions. It kept me from putting the real work in, no matter how badly I wanted to help her heal. I ran out of time and grace. Please don’t fall into that same trap. Your loved one deserves better than what I gave mine. She deserved so much better, and I don’t know how I’m ever going to be able to forgive myself and move on

I genuinely agree with most of what you've said. I'm the betrayed spouse and when you mentioned that when the unfaithful make efforts to communicate, gift, etc. we should try to accept them as good faith efforts. However, this would require trust. It's not always a place of anger. It's a place of distrust of motives. It's also hard for the betrayed because it may require the betrayed to forsake her heart or gut when she's questioning things, which in turn feels a lot like the past when the betrayed would question things in her marriage and the unfaithful would use manipulation to spin her thoughts or reaponses. Again, overall I would suggest that the betrayed try to really consider the situation and think with both her heart and mind before responding. I believe this is a more realistic and healthier approach vs trying to convince yourself that he/his efforts are "good." Thanks for the videos. They are so helpful and healing!

Feeling so stupid that not only did he have a whole other relationship for our entire relationship, but now I deal with the fact that he doesn’t even want me after this

This is about porn addiction. I was shocked and judgmental at first. I tried therapy, honesty, openness, information sharing etc. what I got in return was, repeats, denials, secrecy, cover ups and insulting excuses. I was love bommed, given many gifts and reminded of all the good he does. I had shut down and blamed for not trusting and blaming my past abuse and CPTSD,. I had to walk away yesterday, I am gutted.

My husband also did this. It wasn’t something I discovered. Rather he told me I’m not happy and then admitted he had feelings for his coworker. Then he confessed when he kissed her and even confessed to our church leaders, he felt guilty! Then he confessed when he slept with her. Just before this he had told me he regretted his decisions and wanted to mend the damage he’d caused. But I don’t get it, was he just being honest because the guilt was so bad or did he he not hide it because he’s not afraid he’ll lose me? Right now I see small improvements but he is still somewhat distant. Like physically present but in other things he’s not there yet. Still have no access to his phone, doesn’t want me to use his car supposedly because I could connect to the blutooth and track it? He is also not looking to win me back, to be romantic. I’m not sure if it’s just the guilt or if he is secretly hoping this girl will contact him again

As someone who has just experienced the whole unfaithful partner relationship. I had all of the anger and blame scenario, from him. Then my thoughts and anxiety at the situation was slowly killing me inside. I found that affirmations of forgiveness worked for me, forgiveness heals you not the unfaithful person, drop the anger the anxiety, the frustration and give yourself the chance to heal.

I thought your video and message was very helpful. However, in my situation, my spouse (who was the unfaithful) communicates very little. When I need to talk about what happened, he doesn't want to and if we do get that far, he basically sits there quietly and emotionless. It becomes a monologue for me. As I talk, sob, ask questions and receive little feedback from him, I become hurt, very angry and frustrated, which usually leads to emotional outrage on my part with regrets later. This has become a horrible cycle with us. Could you please address an unfaithful spouse who does not communicate well, and provide tips for the betrayed spouse of the unfaithful spouse who behaves in this manner, as what to do. I am at a loss.

I’ve lashed out, I’ve called him every name under the sun, finishing with I don’t love you, there is no love here, so why won’t you damn well leave. It’s my home and he won’t go. It’s a disgusting place to be, I can tell you that.

Omg- this is so true. As a betrayed- the comments “tired of these conversations. Can we talk about the weather? We just couldn’t talk anymore...” And now- after I’ve learned the truth- just grieve and be done on his time! And the constant, “I want this to work BUT just not sure it’s going to work.” This is from the unfaithful.

I was always a go getem kind of person, upbeat, always doing things with the children, now after his enormous betrayal, I'm tired, i have no motivation, I don't have many friends around and I'm good with that. Will i ever be myself again? I try so hard to be positive but deep down I'm waiting for what's going to break next if you know what i mean.

I wish i could move on, I'll never be with anyone again. This is 4 years after he left. I dont see me changing my mind. His affair has crippled me emotionally as well as physically. I work but he is the one with the career i raised our 4 kid's, i have nothing and he has everything. How is this justice?

Same. Endlessly trying to come back to life .

Would you say progress is ignoring boundaries (2 1/2 months) and meeting up with affair partner (no connection is necessary with out telling betrayed) and continue lies until caught, responding to broken boundaries by moving in with affair partner a couple days, then one day saying. Ok I’m really done with the affair partner, I want to move back home now! You have to trust me, I’m serious now and ask every day for 2 weeks, “can I move home now. Why are you torturing me.” Continuing with making the betrayed spouse feel guilty for saying “no, I’m not ready.” The affair lasted, at least 8 months - maybe longer. Continue to stomp on boundaries (requested to stop drinking because of past behavior, yet they claim they need a stress reliever.). I don’t know. 2 weeks ago sending nude photos to affair partner and now wants everything fixed in 2 seconds. This is a serious question. Are they ready? Is integrity completely gone? Is honor going to come back? Will it ever come back?

I wanted the best for him and me and no holding back. Now I see maybe most if not all of it was a sham. At this point it's so hard to decide the truth from the lies.

A flip phone will suffice. I tell you the temptation is too great for the weak like me to endure without intervention. It took God to humble me through the Gospel, to show me how wicked I have become, for the madness to end. Whatever it takes to make us see how what we do is evil, since until that is revealed we tend to consider our lust insignificant or inescapable. We make excuses to ourselves to justify our lies and become disconnected from the pain we cause those we love. Addiction requires removal of the means of temptation until the addiction is made clear to us afflicted, or old habits resurface endlessly. But we must be willing to sacrifice our addiction in exchange for salvation, or it won't work. It is a long hard lesson I had to learn, may your family be free of this evil and heal.
