Infidelity Therapy

What is infidelity?

Approximately 1 in 3 couples will be affected by infidelity. The concept of infidelity depends on the personal expectations within a relationship. It is important to consider that this betrayal can be emotional or sexual, and emotional infidelity can be just as harmful to a relationship. Discovering that your partner has been unfaithful can have a huge impact on a relationship, and it is natural to feel intense and confusing emotions. Often, there are gender and cultural differences in responses to infidelity as well.

Causes of infidelity

Understanding what caused infidelity may be painful, but it can also help both parties to acknowledge why it happened and move on. Infidelity is often the symptom of longer-term problems. Some of the most common reasons that people are unfaithful include:

• Relationship dissatisfaction
• Low self-esteem
• Stress
• Revenge
• Dissatisfaction at work
• A need for excitement
