Will They Cheat Again? Facing the Fear of Relapse After Infidelity

Will they cheat again? Once you’ve been betrayed, that question can follow you into every quiet moment, and the comment sections don’t help: once a cheater, always a cheater. If you were the one who was unfaithful, you may carry a quieter version of the same fear: can I really change? Jeremy is joined by therapists Brett, John and Laurie to talk honestly about what relapse is and isn’t, how common it really is, and why “I know what I’m capable of” is safer than “I’ll never do it again.” The fear is real. So is the path back to a marriage that feels safe.

My husband of 30+ years had a 6 year affair but I never found out. Fast forward to 25 years he tough he was going to die from a medical condition he had so he told me 2 1/2 years ago he admitted the affair to me. My world was crushed. We I have had 6 therapist and no one helps. What do I do. I want to leave but I want to stay. What is wrong with my brain. I just access over this affair all day and 1/2 the night. Can I be helped and stay or just go and call it a day. How did he look me in the eyes for 25 years and lie everyday knowing what he had done. And now he says it’s been to long and he doesn’t remember a lot. So I am getting trickle truth. Diana D
