24 “Cheating Means Your Relationship Is Over”
“Many a person has taken this advice from well-meaning family and friends and lived to regret it,” Toni Coleman, LCSW, CMC, a psychotherapist and relationship coach. “There are many factors that can contribute to infidelity and set a climate where it is more likely to flourish. Before walking away and giving up everything you have together, get counseling, figure out what wasn’t working and why. Examine the reasons for seeing something from a person outside the relationship rather than your spouse. By doing so, you will be sure if you do decide to call it quits and won’t be one of the many folks suffering from divorce remorse.”
