Affairs Recovery – Help for the crisis of infidelity
Affair recovery may or may not be your first thought if you’ve just discovered your partner having an affair. Chances are if you’ve landed on this page, you’ve recently discovered your husband cheated or your wife had a physical or emotional affair, your girlfriend was unfaithful, or your boyfriend has been sexting or cheating on the internet. Maybe your partner has confessed an office romance with a coworker or told you they have become addicted to sex or porn websites and has been meeting with complete strangers. You feel betrayed and devastated – now thinking that everything you believed about your relationship is a lie because of the relational/marital infidelity.
Suspicious Behavior
Unfortunately, both women and men have affairs. Your worry may have increased because your partner is acting suspicious – like not explaining their absences, not letting you see their texts, having sudden unexplained absences or recently having changed passwords. Perhaps, they are still denying the obvious signs of marital infidelity or an affair – leaving you to wonder if you are a bit crazy.
If your spouse just told you they were in love with someone else or you discover you have been lied to by your trusted partner, it is normal to feel: disoriented, angry, lost, rejected, afraid and humiliated

For the affair-involved partner
If you were the partner who strayed, the moment of discovery may have opened your eyes to all you have risked—your marriage, your family, your economic stability, and your reputation in the community. You too may feel shaken to your core. You may have mixed feelings of fear, entitlement, remorse, exposure, and anger. You may feel shame at having violated your own ethics. If you decide to work on the relationship, we know that good people have affairs and will help you analyze yourself as well as learn how to heal the marriage. Reveal what’s important, become transparent, comfort your partner, offer accountability and keep them from obsessing with reassurance and honesty. We will also work through your disappointments in the marriage.
