Understanding Cheating September 2022 | Page 21

Chris Fraga from Shadow of Whales talks with HeartSupport about relationships, cheating, and how, over time, he learned to forgive himself for cheating.

Give your partner time to heal. Realize that you have wounded them deeply and it will take time for them to forgive you and learn to trust you again. Even if they choose to stay with you, they will feel hurt for a while.

Answer their questions honestly. As you work to gain their trust back it is important to be absolutely transparent and willing to talk about what happened.

If your partner decides to break up with you, respect their decision. Learn what you can from this mistake and do better in the future.
