Is There Hope for a Marriage After a Devastating Admission?

It will take time for you to regain trust in your husband.

He will need to be very open and accountable to you.

He will need to let you know where he is and when he will be home. This may seem unfair to him, but it is necessary for your peace of mind and to rebuild the trust.

Women usually process information by talking about it. Your need for more details is normal and part of the healing that must take place.

Your husband needs to be patient with you through this phase of your relationship.

However, at some point you need to stop talking about it and move forward. You may need to get some professional counseling to help you deal with all of your feelings.

Both of you need to talk about why the affair took place. Understanding the cause can prevent it from happening again.

You need to set boundaries for yourselves. Your husband should have no contact with the woman from the affair.

Neither of you should be alone with or confide in anyone of the opposite sex. Those "innocent" friendships often lead to affairs.
