Being cheated on might feel like one of the most devastating things you've been through in the course of a relationship. Depending on how it was handled and what happened next it might be. The truth is you can change the way things play out when you find out a partner is cheating on you as long as you know these things about cheaters.
1) Most cheaters were never malicious in their intent. In other words, most cheaters did not go out looking to have an affair. It happened. They got caught up in the moment and sometimes they got swept away by it. The problem is they don't know what to do next and often handle things poorly.
2) Guilt can be overwhelming when someone who really loves you realizes the severity of the situation and what he or she has done. In some ways, whatever sentence you deliver upon finding out is only secondary to the one your lover delivered to him or herself.
3) No matter how much you want it to work that way there usually isn't a good guy/bad guy situation when cheating happens. People are imperfect no matter what kind of pedestal you set them on or how great your expectations of them may be. Sometimes the hardest part about dealing with a cheating lover isn't the fact that you are hurt, feel betrayed, or are angry. It's the fact that you are disappointed that your lover is not living up to your (sometimes overblown) expectations.
4) Cheaters hate living they lie. They often want to get caught as much as they don't want to get caught. Ultimately they want you to be able to give them whatever it is they are getting from the other person so they can be complete without having to risk everything. It's not about a better body, better hair, younger, tanner, richer, or any of these things. People cheat because the other person meets a need that isn't being met at home. Find out what this need is (your lover may not even be able to put it into words without some serious digging) and meet that need so your lover will never need to cheat again.
5) Incidents of cheating in a marriage are greater when stress is greater. Unemployment, work stress, marital stress, money matters, and other typical stressors in life greatly contribute to the likelihood of a cheating spouse, lover, or partner. It's not the recommended method of stress relief but many times it's a sympathetic ear your partner feels he or she isn't getting at home.
