Hurt Partner
When you discovered that your spouse/partner had been unfaithful you immediately fell into a free fall that felt endless. Describing “discovery” it is common to hear people say their world ended and I don’t know what’s real. One person told me, “finding out my husband cheated was like “leaning against a wall and the wall moving instead of supporting me as I thought it would”. Another person described it as, “jumping out of a plane with a parachute that doesn’t open”, as they imagine them self falling to earth with no way to stop.
When a person discovers their spouse has been unfaithful different emotions are experienced and many questions are asked but not readily answered. Often, men and women feel different emotions and ask different questions. Some of these are listed here.
From Discovery to Recovery we understand your needs and appreciate your differences.
