Sunday Mail(4th October):

An article looks at whether a relationship can survive if one partner has an affair. The writer states that a couple can survive betrayal if both parties are willing to work on themselves and their relationship.

The writer further states that the person who committed the infidelity must be honest about their actions. They must communicate and acknowledge that they have done wrong, and accept responsibility for this.

Then the writer explains that both partners need to set clear expectations for moving ahead, knowing that it will be different from before the infidelity occurred. Trust also needs to be earned again. If you choose to stay committed to each other, then you need forgive. Surviving infidelity can actually strengthen your relationship and take it to a new level.

I put to you, the reader, can you truly survive infidelity? Even if you did forgive, do you really ever forget? Does caution sit at the back of your consciousness, just waiting for a suspicious action?

A once fractured relationship is now fragile and takes a lot less to shatter.

Is there really true happiness and contentment after infidelity?
