When the cheating partner is confronted or has confessed, there needs to be dialogue when both parties are calm. Better decisions are made this way.
I think it is necessary to have a discussion with cool heads, but many people make the mistake of insisting that conversation take place too soon.
I agree, Liza and Sage; although calm is something that seems possible at the time.
Seeing a therapist is not a bad idea, especially if calm dialogue can’t be accomplished. There needs to be one cool head in the room, and a friend or family member just won’t do; they are too close to the problem.
Counselling sessions are definitely a plus for persons in this situation, at least it will give them a chance to sort out their feelings.
Liza, if I found out that my husband was cheating on me, I don’t think I will ever be calm enough to discuss it.
I think there are just some things that you need to be very, very mad about in life, and this is one of them.
Awwww I totally understand you. A friend of mine told me she would discuss the issue will she is upset so if she ends up killing him she would have done it in rage. I guess this is where momentary insanity comes in.
That;s a hard thing to confront. I don’t know how would I react if I find out my partner cheating. I think I rather not know.
SageMother, it’s just so hard to talk about these calmly and I don’t think there even is really an ideal time to talk about your partner’s infidelity.
You can wait it out, and the result will still be the same. He/She cheated. And I’d still be pissed if it was my hubby.
mollyL, the problem with asking a family member to mediate is that everyone always takes sides, and you are right! Family members can never be objective when it comes to making things work out.
At least a therapist doesn’t assign blame based on what they’ve heard from one person.
Liza, I totally agree with you on that. I think couples should take scheduled counselling sessions even if they are not having problems.
Maybe not so often, but it’s good to have that professional objectivity before any problems crop up.
