subject: My Wife Cheated On Me – Is Divorce The Only Solution? [print this page] My Wife Cheated On Me Is Divorce The Only Solution?
Divorce may seem to be the only solution if you are one of so many men wondering what to now that "my wife has cheated on me." But, divorce is only the right solution for you if you allow it to be. That isn't the only option you have available to you. Here are just a few of the things you can choose to do for the sake of your marriage in light of your wife's cheating. You're probably going to be surprised by how simple these solutions really can be.
1) Attend counseling sessions as a couple. This is a great way to air out all the dirty laundry in the marriage so that you can both figure out what is left of your marriage to salvage and if you are really and truly interested in making it work. For most marriage partners that go willingly and really try to work things out, counseling can really turn things around even after your wife has cheated.
2) Agree to a trial separation. The key here is to establish strict limits for how long the separation will last and to have a plan for what to do once the separation periods ends. It's best to have a trial reconciliation in mind as well so that you can both go back to living together after you've been apart for a specified period of time to see if you can both get on the same page about your efforts to save your marriage.
3) You can take your marriage on a magic carpet ride back in time. Many people in your situation make the mistake of going for a second chance but pick up right where things left off. If you agree to go back in time and start over, you get to leave all the old baggage behind and start over from the beginning. This time you must agree to head off mild annoyances to the relationship before they become huge problems that lead to cheating, or worse, this time around.
You might be reeling due to the fact that "my wife cheated on me" but that doesn't have to spell the end for your marriage. These are just three of the options that you have available to you instead of divorce. Surely you are willing to give one or more of these a try for the sake of saving the family the two of you have created together even if it is a family of two.
