Before we begin I would like to say that it is possible to move on after cheating occurs in a relationship. Cheating is the worst possible thing that can happen in a relationship. It can be more devastating even than a breakup. The thought of another human being that intimate with your partner can tear you apart. You will feel inadequate and used. Thankfully there is an answer.
Understand why the cheating occurred
To move on after cheating, you must first understand why the cheating took place. Make sure you and your partner are totally honest with each other on this one. You have to tell the truth no matter how painful it is.
Nine times out of ten cheating takes place because there is something missing in the relationship. The passion died or someone is always away from home a lot, or you aren't satisfying them in bed, or, or, or, or. Come on, you must find that reason!
Forgive them
Easier said than done, but it is essential that they are forgiven. Do not throw blame around, but once an honest reason has been put forward, then forgive. Just the words 'its okay, we will work through this,' will be enough. Try your best to mean them; it really helps the healing process.
Once the previous two steps have been observed, the next step is a doddle. The hardest by far is forgiving them, followed closely by understanding why cheating has occurred.
Strengthen the weakest link
Now the previous two steps have been observed, all you need to do to finally move on after cheating is to strengthen the weakest link. Remember the reason for cheating? Well sort it out! Was it a bedroom problem? Try some new things! Get kinky for goodness sake! Was it that you weren't spending enough time together? Go on one VERY romantic date every couple of weeks, and see each other two or three times per week. Just sort it out.
If you have paid attention to this article, you have a very good chance of being able to move on after cheating; however, reading the words will not be enough. You need action, so go out and take it.
