Cheating is an ordeal for a relationship. Many people are unable to forgive her and continue the relationship with the wrong partner. And even if they are ready to continue living together, it is not easy for them to restore trust in each other.

Step 1
Cheating is a kind of critical point in a couple's relationship. Like any other crisis, this one has two outcomes. Relationships either go to a new level or disintegrate. There are also positive consequences of betrayal, although less often than negative ones. But it is considered a fact proven in psychology that the position that the former relationship after infidelity practically cannot remain. This has its advantages: the romance can become more passionate, and the marriage can become stronger.
Step 2
The prospects for rebuilding relationships vary. In general, it is believed that families are less likely to break up if a man cheats. First, women are easier to forgive cheating. Secondly, men rarely think about feelings when going to the side. For them, sex with a stranger is often just a way of realizing lustful desires, and not a search for new love. Women, on the other hand, are less likely to decide to cheat, but if they do, they look for emotional, intimate relationships. And more often they fall in love with those with whom they cheated. In addition, age factors affect. It has been proven that older women forgive cheating more easily than younger women. So if a couple is mature, they have a better chance of maintaining a relationship after discovering infidelity.
Step 3
Cheating is one-time and systematic. In each of these cases, there is a chance to restore the relationship, but it is different. Systematic cheating usually happens in couples where the incompatibility of partners is too strong, especially in sexual terms. In this case, long-term psychotherapy is indispensable. If there is no money for a psychologist, then it is important for both to meet each other halfway on issues in which disagreements arise. As for one-time betrayals, they can only be an indicator that problems have arisen that need to be addressed without delay. And in this case, the predictions for maintaining relations may be more optimistic.
