Trust is the basis that any passionate and caring marriage is built on, trust is the foundation on which all other elements of a healthy marriage start from. Once broken, a lack of trust will rapidly destroy your marriage. It may seem like an impossible thing to do right now, but learning to trust your husband again is something you might need to do.
"Should I trust my husband again?" A doubt that every wife has when trying to repair their marriage after an affair. Trust is something that is earned, so it's crucial to recognize that you might never regain that trust unless your husband is willing to help you in every way they can. Your husband must be willing to take full blame for his actions, and recognise the deep-seated emotional suffering he has caused you. He also has to acknowledge that you remain in pain, and accept that he has a responsibility for helping you get over the injury he has done you.
The only way to repair trust after an affair is if you both commit to repairing your marriage. An agreement must be reached where both of you promise to do everything possible to overcome the affair. The seeds of trust will only be planted when your husband has apologized for his actions, and you feel that he truly appreciates the suffering he has brought about. Trying to get the details about the affair, or attempting to force an early apology will only leave you feeling frustrated, and cause your husband to become self-protective. Talking about the affair will come later, and more naturally, as trust develops. If you are both devoted to repairing your marriage, your husband will apologise in his own way, when he does, this will mean a great deal more to you, and you are going to be more willing to accept. Do not attempt to make yourself agree to the apology, this will happen in time as the relationship between you and your husband develops. You may well not accept his apology at first, but over time, if he is committed to repairing the trust in your relationship, you may begin to little by little open your heart to the possibility that there may be a future for your marriage.
