Will an Affair Destroy Your Marriage?

Many people seek marriage advice only after they’ve discovered that their partner has been having an affair.

In many cases, the cheating spouse has already moved out and is living with their lover. An affair can easily destroy your marriage, but it doesn’t have to.

Positive signs that your marriage can be rebuilt after an affair include:

- Your partner told you about the betrayal on his or her own.
- Your partner is willing to cut off all contact with his or her lover.
- Your partner is willing to answer questions about the affair.
- Your partner expresses guilt or remorse.
- Your partner asks for or agrees to marriage counseling.
- You are willing to let go of your resentment and look inside yourself for reasons that your partner may have sought fulfillment of his or her needs with someone else.
- Both of you are willing to make personal changes to get your marriage back on solid ground.

If your partner is unwilling to talk about the affair or refuses to cut off all contact with his or her lover then that is a sign that the affair hasn't finished yet.

If they blame you of causing him or her to have the affair you will have many challenges to overcome to get your marriage back together again.

Equally if you aren’t able to forgive and try to honestly understand your partners’ reason for having an affair then it is highly unlikely that the marriage can be repaired.

It can be done, when both of you regret what has happended and can work together then the marriage can actually become stronger as a result. But only if you can move on from the past and accept that this will take a lot of work and effort.
