Couples Counseling - Effects of Marital Infidelity & Affairs
Marital infidelity is usually the single most damaging thing that can happen
in any relationship. It goes beyond the physical betrayal
to the much more profound emotional betrayal.
This psychological betrayal erodes a basic cornerstone in relationships, which is trust. When trust is damaged the whole relationship is put at great risk.
The trauma of marital infidelity can be compared to other
types of trauma, which can induce in some people symptoms
of:
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
- Depression
- Unmanageable levels of anxiety, and involve un-characteristic and/or erratic behaviours.
Without intervention, relationships where there is an affair are more at risk for failing. With proper help, however, relationships can recover, heal, and even be stronger and more solid than ever before.
