Infidelity
|
For exclusive relationships, very few things can threaten a relationship more than infidelity. With relationships that are founded upon a deep emotional connection, an affair is at once destructive, as well as usually being much more complex issue than an isolated event. It is rare that an affair is not also symptomatic of many complex dynamics. Even fore the "best" couples, many unknown factors contribute to such a breakdown. After the affair is exposed, the emotional roller coaster that ensues makes it hard to slow things down and see what can be done to address both needs of the couple. For instance, it pits the need to process the emotions (or address the emotional avoidance) and the need to grieve against the need to establish some stability. Emotions must be addressed, but not drowned in. And exploring the possibility of forgiveness and finding ways to move on must be considered, but not rushed. If repair of the relationship and forgiveness is a possibility, this cannot, in my experience be done without understanding what has happened. Thus, attempts at "sweeping it under the rug" is not a shortcut that a relationship can afford to make if both members of the couple wish to restore the relationship.
