If you have discovered infidelity in your relationship and are torn about what to do next you are not alone. You are likely devastated. The violation of trust is painful and the thought of continuing in the relationship seems risky. On the other hand, the connection and life that you have built together is something that you want back.

Infidelity is among the most devastating and traumatic events that a relationship can encounter. The thoughts and feelings of loss of security, shame, embarrassment, anger and betrayal can be confusing and overwhelming.
