A marriage therapist says that no matter how you feel like the sky is falling, it’s best to ask yourself the following questions before taking action: Who am I really dealing with?
A cheating lover?
His lover?
The marriage itself?
Or oneself?
For this defective marriage, do I want to stay, or end?
Who can save a marriage?
The return of a lover?
A “mistress’s” conscience?
Or my own efforts?
The marriage therapist says that while there may be a million reasons why a marriage can change, the person we need to deal with most is ourselves.
Seemingly passive, you may be a major factor in deciding whether a marriage stays or goes.
You can take the lead in cheating on your husband, making it seem like you’re always on the hurt end of the betrayal.
In fact, you may not know, his derailment, can not do without your intentional inadvertence;
Marriage, in fact, more dominant power is in your hands.

We need to respect that fact.”
Psychology is not a social morality, and there is no way to define right and wrong, because everything that exists has its own rationality.

And in half a year, he began to choose between love and family, this time, the warmth of home can often play a multiplier effect;
After six months, if the man still loves his family, most will choose to return.
So maybe it’s just that “breaking in” moment that you can’t control.
When it comes to extramarital affairs, men often explain that they are just like students who want to skip class occasionally, but women make things worse by adding their own logical reasoning to the facts.

And betrayal is unforgivable.
But, almost no one will sentence marriage death in a flash, because you hesitate.
Maybe you’re still in love with him, but beyond that, you can’t let go of your children, your family, your ethics.
So you have to figure out if you can afford to lose your marriage.

But by asking them carefully, you gather enough evidence to make his mistakes so obvious that he can’t argue with them.

1. Don’t try to find evidence because you suspect your husband is cheating, such as scrolling through his chat history or checking his mobile phone, because this is close to self-abuse.
