I am currently going through this right now. For me I think it would depend on the reason for the affair. I know for me it didn't take that long for me to forgive. It has taken me longer to forget. But in that case sometimes thats not an option anyways. It may be easier at least in my case to remember because then you know to never do what you may have done to cause the affair. (I am not saying that you have done anything that just happens to be the case for me). Also keep in mind that sometimes it may be difficult for both parties in my case my significant other is struggelling more with it than I am I know that that may seem difficult to be simpathetic too but keep in mind that if you truelly do want to make the relationship work after the affair then you will be supportive and caring about there needs as well. I hope that this helps you.

Depends upon the couple. Some couples heal, and both have to do their part to get there. Some couples never heal and simply can't get past the affair. There is no magic deadline. That's just the way it is. And honey, you do NOT want the relationship to go back to how it was..... all that does is set the stage for the affair to repeat itself. The two of you need to be willing take it to a different level entirely and work to keep it at a better level. Best wishes.

That depends on the couple. For some people, once that trust has been broken, it can take forever (or never) to get it back. But for other people, it may only take a few months. However, I don't believe that a relationship will ever really be NORMAL after an affair.
There will always be that "thought" as to where he/she really is, or what they are doing...

a information superhighway dating should not be taken too heavily except you have some way of having some bona fides approximately the different individual. The opportunities for sociopathic predation abound. nonetheless that's intense high quality to have a 'Jiminy Cricket' to speak to, somebody to whisper on your ear and communicate in self assurance to. i do no longer comprehend how an affair could be carried out with out rather assembly somebody. it rather is a considerate question some community the place human beings could be careful.

However good your relationship once was, when one partner cheats the relationship is forever changed. It will NEVER be what it once was.
When trust is broken and you've been betrayed in the worst way, what would you consider "some normality"??
When I was betrayed by the man I loved more than life, I didn't want "normality".......I wanted him gone!.........Permanently!!
Some of that pain does go with you though. Unfortunately, the next man you meet (or woman if the situation is reversed) often takes the brunt of your lack of trust.
