My previous articles were about the general principles of helping yourself get out of stress after a loved one’s betrayal. Now we will consider specific situations and behavior strategies. If there are children in your family, then after betrayal partner, no matter how much you would like it, you cannot completely exclude a person from your life, since you have common children and this is a different level of the relationship. After you have recovered a little from the initial shock (see my previous articles ). the period of such a step of experiencing grief as shock, denial, you may want to “fight for your partner”, you may blame a third party, want to return everything as it was. Here, of course, you need to live through these emotions, while rationally realizing that these are now emotions and then, as time passes, they will be replaced by others: resentment, anger, and the relationships that existed before the betrayal will no longer be the same again. They can get worse, and in some exceptional cases, better. Here, each family has an individual situation that needs to be worked out with a psychologist. Now the most important task for you is to maintain your self-esteem, so that in the future you will not be emotionally shaken and you can behave consistently. You need to conduct an “audit” of your resources and understand how independent you are and how dependent you are on your partner. If there is financial dependence, then it is necessary to direct attention and energy to developing the resource of work, economics, study in order to gain independence, and soberly assess the time frame in which you will become independent from your partner. Write down a clear plan with the steps of your actions. If there are children in the family, then it is necessary to clearly separate the relationship: your personal relationship with your partner and the child-parent relationship. Now is a difficult period that requires your wisdom, try to be as wise as possible in this situation to preserve yourself. In the next article we will look at strategies for behavior in relationships where there are no children and nothing binds the partners.
