Some relationships suffer after an emotional affair
. Some partners divorce and some marriages are annulled to this difficult problem. Some children are left without a mother or father to look up to. And some lives fall apart. On the other hand, there are relationships which can still be fixed after an episode of emotional infidelity. The most important thing is that you and your partner communicate well and that both of you are very much willing to make things right again.
Pick up the broken pieces
The first thing to do is to pick up the pieces and start where you left off. Instead of forgetting everything that happened talk about it and discuss with your partner which aspects of your old relationship should be fixed and which ones can still be retained. In doing so, you are giving each other your own voices in creating a better and stronger relationship. Burying the hatchet does not work most of the time and sometimes looking at your mistakes and discussing about it eases up the pain.
Build them together
The next thing to do is to build your new found relationship together. A partnership always works when two people work as a team to either compliment and supplement each other. Some say that there is no "I" in team and this goes for romantic relationships as well. There are no problems in this world cannot be fixed if you work together in achieving good results for your marriage. If you decide to work on your marriage together after an emotional affair, nothing is impossible.
Look at your life at a different perspective
Positivity is the key to making your relationship work again. Try joining marriage groups and seminars which talk about probable things which you can do to make your partnership stronger than ever. Instead of looking at the past mistakes your partner has done, try to envision it as a learning experience. Who knows, a different perspective might just be what you need. Life after an emotional affair can only get better.
