How do you overcome cheating in your relationship?

Cupid’s Advice:

It can be difficult to surpass unfaithfulness in a relationship, but it’s not impossible. Cupid has some suggestions:

1. Couples counseling: The most important thing you can do is hire a third party to listen to you air your grievances. A counselor will keep you “in check” so to speak, and you’ll have a safe place to share all of your feelings with your partner in order to potentially work them out.

2. Open communication: Instead of cowering away from each other, keep the lines of communication completely clear and in the open. Be brutally honest about everything in order to avoid any further suspicion.

3. Time: If you’re truly dedicated to your relationship, it’s going to take time to overcome the break in trust that cheating creates.  The best thing you can do it to stick with it, and work at it.
