I can't speak for everyone, but I know for myself, that yes, the unfaithful experiences the same "Fight, Flight or Freeze". When you see your spouse start to spiral, you start to think, "Oh no it's over. I've blown it again, and its over".
The detachment of my Spouse, from the trauma I have caused, is terrifying. I found myself just crumbling under the weight of shame & guilt at the thought of now losing everything and everyone I love.
