If your marriage or relationship is struggling with the aftermath of an affair, read Dr. Coleman’s article in Greater Good Magazine. Many relationships can be saved after an affair, but it requires that both people work hard to heal the relationship. This article shows you the steps you need to take in order to do that. It also discusses when to consider giving up. Greater Good Magazine is part of the Greater Good Science Center, at the University of California, Berkeley.

It has been 3 1/2 years since ending his affair. The raw details are too involved to get into here. It’s only been the past year and a half that he has decided he really loves me and has changed his behavior. Our 35th anniversary is coming up and my hope is that it will be our last one. I have counceled, prayed and meditated and am more and more convinced that we would both be better off in time. I want to forgive him but I can not do that as long as we are together. In making some good changes, I do feel that someday we can even be good friends again. I would rather hang out with him once in a while than be his wife anymore. When I bring up that I want a divorce, he argues against it and won’t hear me which only continues to make me feel unvalidated. He resents talking about his affair, has quit on counceling and thinks in time, it will all just go away.
It won’t. And I want out of this marriage. My fear, is that it’s not going to happen.
