Wife Caught Cheating? Don't Make This Crucial Mistake...

By Stan J. Van Sant

Oh boy. Are you involved with a wife caught cheating? Feeling like a million bucks after taxes? Been there. Done that. I am a survivor of infidelity, and I can testify that is the one of the most devastating events life can throw at you. But, there are ways to handle it that are better than others. This is not the time for you to channel Heath Ledger's Joker character. You want to push the emotions aside, as best you can, and make sound, logical decisions.

Control the Uncontrollable fire

Or, any cocked at all really. If you've just found out and have a wife caught cheating, you're probably wanting to burn the city down. That is understandable. Don't act out your emotions. The only one you're going to end up hurting in the end is you. Find a place to vent behind closed doors and let it all out. But maintain your composure when you re-enter the world. You'll be glad you did.

Seek out your closest confidant

If you have a wife caught cheating, you need to enlist the help of a friend, a member of your family, or someone from your church. It doesn't really matter, but you need to have a sounding board you can trust, that will allow you the freedom to express your emotions and all you're going through. You're not in Kansas any more, Dorothy.

Get faraway from madding crowd

You're going to need to process this, it's only natural. You need to be in a calm place where you can think your way through this. You need time to ask yourself some tough questions. Want do you want? You still want her, even though she has betrayed you? Is your marriage worth saving? And, just as importantly what does she want? Your life has changed forever now, whether you like it or not.

What's still meaningful in your life

Is it your kids? Is it the relationship you have with your family and friends? You still have that no matter what lie has been told to you. Ask yourself this question: who is the most important person in your life? The answer should be "you." And, no one can ever take that away. Your life will continue. You still have decisions and choices to make. Don't think for a minute you don't.

If you have a wife caught cheating, it is going to take time to recover. If you both decide you want to save your marriage, it's going to take time to repair the damage that's been done. Allow your relationship to breathe a little here. Find out where you are and how you got here. Living in the heart of a betrayal is not a place you want to be. You're going to survive, and quite possibly be the better for it. - 30299
