You can’t trust anything anymore. Not surprisingly, not only will a victim of infidelity mistrust their partner sexually and emotionally, he or she might also begin to doubt them in other areas.

“In the wake of an affair, more and more lies come out, and that makes trust very difficult.”
says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., LMFT, a psychotherapist

It then becomes easy to feel dubious toward your partner in other aspects of life, such as finances. The person who is being cheated on will suffer a major blow to his self-esteem. The unexpectedly good news is that those feelings of inadequacy didn’t last long.

Best if a couple spent some time apart, even a person who was cheated on not dating he will remember how he was lovable and desirable.

A renewed sense of self-confidence is one of the reasons to easy to reconcile with a cheating partner.

Cheating can create a level of stress and anxiety that can trigger a depressive episode.

For some people, an affair can make them lose focus on other aspects of their life. Self-care, their career trajectory, friendships.

The wake of an affair can actually help you focus on yourself.

“People who recover from infidelity are usually able to go within themselves and recapture their center of power,” says Kerner

Going the gym, wearing better clothes, focusing on health is best cures.

Some people after cheating partners may not even recognize their libido. For some people, infidelity can destroy their sex life.

“If your partner has cheated on you, even if you are working hard to forgive and rebuild the relationship, sex is often the last piece of the puzzle,” says Kerner. “You’re sorting through all kinds of emotions—depression, anger, betrayal—and that just kills your sexual desire.”
