Surviving infidelity: The Healing Journey

Those who have endured, survived infidelity and embarked upon the healing journey have much to share.

Here is a response from one of our readers:

1. What kind of affair faced you?

My husband had a three year affair with a woman fifteen years our junior, he said it wasn’t anything to do with sex it was an emotional affair, which I really think is the worse kind of affair as they are emotionally involved with someone else.

2. What are 2-3 resources that helped you survive and cope with the infidelity?

Prayer, your e.book ‘Break Free From an Affair’ and my family.

3. Describe 2-3 break-through moments or events that helped you see the affair from a different perspective, provided healing or helped make a decision?

My husband would not sign the divorce papers. he asked me to forgive him and give him another chance. After reading your e.book I changed my tactics and realized that I was torturing myself by blaming myself and realized that I am responsible for my own happiness.

4. What have you learned about yourself as a result of the infidelity?

I am a very strong person now, I am not jealous at all, I am very happy with the way things are at the moment and all the advice I received has helped me to be calm in any situation, I think my husband realized that there was a life after him.

    I only wished I had listened when my husband had his first affair when we got married 22 years ago. He was a teacher. Other teacher’s told me how he was cheating on me with other college student’s. I thought he would change. 22 years later he is worse. Left me for another woman when out child was seriously ill in the hospital. disappeared for one year. She had kicked him out for being unfaithful. He is in his 70’s. A man who is unfaithful will NOT change …get out while you have your YOUTH.
