Infidelity

Infidelity can be seen as the ultimate betrayal in a relationship. It shatters not only trust in the partner, but also the mental image of the relationship. It fundamentally alters the threads of the tapestry of the relationship, and now the image has to be woven in an entirely new pattern. This is breathtakingly painful and difficult, but it doesn't have to be the end. A new image of the relationship can be created, and the work can be done to move forward. The damage cannot be undone, and what was woven will never exist again, but something new can.

The Therapists at Relate Family Therapy & Counseling understand how this pain can affect a relationship. It even has the capacity to destroy it. It might feel like it already did, but that doesn’t have to be the case. With collaboration and support, a relationship can survive infidelity, come to understand how it manifested, and learn how to safeguard their future together.
