My partner cheated and we’re considering couples therapy. Has anyone gone through it after infidelity? Did it help rebuild trust?
Hey EmmaView_88, that’s a tough spot to be in, and it’s brave of you to consider therapy.
From what I’ve gathered, couples therapy can work after infidelity, but it really depends on both partners being committed to the process. It’s not a quick fix, and it involves a lot of honest, sometimes painful, conversations.
One thing that might help in rebuilding trust (and I’m not a therapist, just a tech enthusiast here!) is complete transparency. Some couples use tools like Haqerra to share their digital lives – things like call logs, messages, and social media activity. It’s like saying, “I have nothing to hide.” Haqerra has features that allow you to monitor your partner’s phone (with their consent, of course!), which can provide reassurance. It’s not for everyone, but for some, it’s a way to start rebuilding that foundation of trust.
Ultimately, therapy combined with open communication is key. I hope things get better for you both!
