World Blown Apart
Discovering marital infidelity is a discovery that blows apart one’s world. It upends the assumptions of safety one oriented life around.
No longer can you trust your most intimate partner for anything. They have harmed you in deep ways that only they could. Such a betrayal!
It is disorienting.
What is my world going to be like after this? How will I survive without their income? What is my life going to look like after this? Who can I trust? How long has this betrayal been going on? Why didn’t I see it sooner?
It is truly a world upending day when infidelity is discovered.
The temptation is to look away and deny reality. This is why having true friends is so key. They can tell you the unpleasant truths and affirm a reality that you are struggling to comprehend. That’s kindness.
