subject: How To Get Inside His Mind To Get Forgiveness For Cheating [print this page] Men don't like head games but sometimes you do need to get inside his head to get forgiveness for cheating and other high crimes against marriage. There are some things that men have a difficult time forgiving. Cheating is one of those things because it impacts him on so many levels - some of which he isn't all that accustomed to dealing with.
The positive thing about is that you know your husband well than anybody else. The negative thing is that adultery is a sin so difficult for them to accept. He may not even have any positive thoughts about it. Well, this is one complicated situation that both of you are not familiar on how to deal with.
It is imperative to remember that husband and wife come from a diverse emotional background but don't think that his short of expressing his feelings or dealing with life in an emotional manner is any sign that he does not experience them. In a few ways he may practice the more intensely.
To get him to forgive you, you are going to have to go inside his head and figure out the best course of action to accomplish these three things.
1)Get him to look at the entire relationship and not just this one situation. Men have this amazing capacity to compartmentalize. They focus on one event or situation to the exclusion of all others. If you allow him to continue to view your relationship as this one defining moment without the context of the years of love and laughter you've shared, your odds of saving your marriage are rather grim.
2)Boost your husband's ego. Make him feel his better than the other man. One method to do boost your husband's ego is to start to point out all the reasons that he is better than the other man. Explain to him why you prefer him than the other man. Just let him knows that you adore and respect him.
3)Remind him of all the logical reasons you should stay together. It's great to appeal to him on an emotional level but that's your territory. If you're working to get inside his head the appeal may need to be based on logic rather than emotion. State your case and be logical about it. He'll be powerless to counter a well-thought out and presented case for why you should work together to save your marriage after you cheated on him.
