"Should I stay or should I go?" This is perhaps one of the most important questions to ask yourself at this time.
When dealing with the aftermath of an affair, the decision to work on your relationship or to move on is deeply personal and complex. Here are questions that you may ask yourself to determine what you might want to do next.
And remember, there likely isn’t a “right” answer here. Whatever you choose to do, allow yourself love and grace. We are here with you.
Can Trust be Rebuilt?
Reflect on whether trust can be restored in the relationship and if both of you are willing to commit to this process.
Am I Willing to Forgive?
Forgiveness does not mean condoning betrayal, but rather letting go of the hold it has on you.
What do I want for my future?
This involves considering your values, needs, and whether you see your partner as a part of your life moving forward.
Am I prepared for the emotional work?
Healing from an affair, whether you choose to stay or go, requires significant emotional work and resilience.
