condition name:
affairs and betrayals
condition information:
Affairs and betrayals can severely strain any relationship. Whether it's infidelity, financial secrets, threats to leave, gambling or even drug/alcohol abuse, betrayals of any kind can break trust and greatly affect the well-being of everyone involved. These situations can be deeply upsetting and it can be hard to see a way forward at the outset. But, with a little time and effort, you can put this behind you and find peace again.
An affair or betrayal is a relational issue and, often, they are the symptom of longer-term problems. But, ultimately, the reasons why people are unfaithful vary and will depend on the personal circumstances and individual needs of those involved.
No one ever expects or wants to be betrayed. For this reason, the discovery that your partner has been unfaithful can be very upsetting. There's a profound break in trust and the intense emotions that follow can be similar to those experienced following the death of a loved one.
