Question: 

On one hand I want to avoid pushing ideas and suggestions, but when I hear and see my unfaithful spouse’s own pain and inability to know what to do, I want to reach out to at least be understanding and supportive as part of the healing and recovery process. But I don’t want to come across as pushy or trying to control something that they need to work out on their own.
