It is not uncommon these days (unfortunately) for men and women to cheat on their partners. It happens for many reasons all stemming from problems in the relationship in the first place. The question is, can a relationship be saved if this is revealed?

Firstly you must ask yourself and your partner the true reasons behind this behaviour. This is a difficult conversation to have and it is best left alone until tempers die down a little. When this information is made common knowledge there will be a huge amount of anger and disgust involved. You will never get the right answers and indeed you will not ask the right questions when you are angry.

When one finds out the other has been cheating it can be truly a horrific experience to go through. The complete loss of trust and the feeling of devastation as well as being shown up is a difficult experience to go through. In some cases it completely shatters a relationship to the point of no repair. However these relationships can be saved, it is only a matter of how we deal with it!

Once you have gone through the phase of trying to find out what caused your partner to cheat, you will be more in the picture of where your relationship is going. Men and Women cheat for a number of reasons. If the reason is that one does not find the other attractive anymore for example, this is a sign to say the relationship cannot continue. If however the cheating occurred because one of them simply craves for sex, this can be handled positively.

When you are made aware that the cheating has taken place, after the calming down period and the talk as to why it happened, it is important to speak and share your thoughts and get it out in the open. The worse thing is to shut down and keep everything inside. Doing this only causes a high level of stress and builds up an anger that eventually will blow.

Your relationship can be saved, it is how you both deal with it that's important!
