It is necessary to identify and discuss them all.
  2. Feelings can not be right or wrong. You must recognize that your feelings of anger, insecurity, emotional shock, excitement, fear, pain, confusion in thought and even depression after the news about the fact of treason - this is quite normal in such a situation, the feelings. Do not blame yourself for them, trying to hold back emotions.
  3. Be prepared for the fact that you can be any physical reaction to a state of shock, such as nausea, diarrhea, sleep problems (you may suddenly start sleeping too little or too much), tremors, inability to concentrate, an aversion to food or gluttony. Do not be afraid; as soon as the emotions die down a little, you let it be. In an extreme case, have a drink some mild sedative.
  4. Take care of yourself. To make it easier to cope with the above physical reactions, try as much as possible to respect the rules of a healthy lifestyle. Try to eat nutritious food, drink plenty of clean water, observe the regime of work and rest, sleep at least eight hours a night, do even the most simple physical exercises. And try to find a way to at least temporarily distracted from gloomy thoughts.
  5. This is fine if you allow yourself to laugh. Laughter just help you not to plunge headlong into despair. Look good comedy, listen to funny songs. Take time to talk with people who make you smile. Life goes on in spite of all our suffering and mistakes adulterers.
  6. Tears - is also a healthy reaction. I cry to you now even useful. Certainly not worth crying from morning to night, but the cry from the heart should be. Pent-up emotions do not lead to anything good; so you only will fall into depression, but it is quite dangerous. So cry to your health! If you can not give way to tears, you listen to sad music or watch a movie with a dramatic ending.
  7. Keep a personal diary. Burn it all the thoughts and feelings that are associated with cheating spouse. This will help you organize your thoughts, and gradually you will be able to understand what is happening.
  8. Ask all the questions, the answers to which you want to know. Talk to your spouse about his deed. It may be that it has a share and change your fault. Very often, a man is looking for other women what it lacks in a loved one. And can it happen that your husband and he could not understand what made him adultery. Well, and this is quite possible.
  9. Talk to someone from relatives or friends, who do you trust. If necessary, consult a psychologist. But in any case do not try to go through it alone - you now really need the support.
  10. Both you and your spouse must be checked at the venereologist and get tested for AIDS and other diseases, sexually transmitted diseases. And of course, without this it is not necessary to renew intercourse without protection.
  11. Do not forget to talk to the children. They need to know that you'll be all right. It is not necessary to hide from them the fact that you are now going through a crisis; yes it is you have and never will. Be honest with your children, but do not overload their psyche details about how their father had cheated on you. And do not give them promises which obviously will not be able to perform.
  12. Try to resist the temptation to start to blame the person who was the subject of infidelity. It's a waste of your psychic energy. Prosecution of third parties will not change anything. Think about what the cause of the disorder must be sought first and foremost particularly in your relationship.
  13. If you are constantly nervous, scream at the slightest provocation, you feel as if going over the abyss on eggshells and still feel the physical manifestations of emotional shock (we were talking about them in the third paragraph), it may mean that you have developed post-traumatic stress. In this case, consult a doctor without delay.
  14. Suppose that you would not be a surprise that it will take time to stop to feel pain at the thought of infidelity partner. Do not expect a mixture of feelings of confusion, uncertainty and distrust will disappear just because you choose to forgive her husband and take on the obligation to preserve the marriage. All of this will take place only after some time.
  15. If you do not want to forgive the partner and are set to divorce, then look at it is not primarily in terms of your ambitions, and on the practical side. Analyze your finances, the situation with housing, transport and so on. Think, if you can solve all the problems on their own; It is especially important to take the time, if you are all alone to raise the children. Believe me, it's not easy.
