Infidelity
Recovering from infidelity is one of the most challenging journeys a couple can face. Our infidelity counselling in Singapore provides a safe and supportive space to work through the betrayal, rebuild trust, and find a path to healing.
When infidelity enters into your life as a couple it can feel like the bottom of your collective world has given way. Suddenly truths are re-examined about your relationship, your history as a couple, the nature of love, who you and your partner fundamentally are.
Types of Infidelity
Brief Affair: Sexual encounters that fall under the umbrella of being “casual sex” without much emotional investment.
Romantic Attachment Affair: When a partner feels they have fallen in love with a person outside the marriage. This is often the most complex.
Emotional Infidelity: This occurs when a partner seeks his/her emotional fulfillment outside their marriage and prioritizes investing in a 3rd party’s needs versus their partner’s. This often starts without sex but can lead to a sexual relationship also.
Exiting Affair: All too often a partner can use a third party as a catalyst for the marriage to end.
Online Affair: If a marriage is stagnant or struggling, it is easy to reach outside of the marriage to connect to a third party, which can lead to a slippery slope.
Our infidelity counselling in Singapore can help you navigate these painful emotions and find a path forward.
The Role of Infidelity Counselling in Healing
Affairs can damage or break trust between you and your partner, and the issues will not get resolved by ignoring them. The affair may have been part of a sex addiction. Or maybe it occurred because of a disconnection or discontent in your relationship. Perhaps there was an emotional attachment formed during the affair. Or maybe your spouse still loves you and doesn’t know why he or she was unfaithful. The good news is that it is possible to recover from infidelity and reestablish trust in your relationship. With the help of an experienced couples therapist, you can identify and address the reasons for the affair and begin the healing process.
Recovering after infidelity is a dynamic task. Our infidelity therapy is tailored to the individual, the couple, the type of infidelity and each person’s desire for the future. This time period often holds excruciating pain without a map to move on.
