Although time may heal all wounds, it would be better if you actively seek the salve that would hasten the healing of your wound. The wound that an affair causes is definitely deep enough to cause rift between couples. Sometimes this rift seems irreparable and irreconcilable.
Lost trust does not come back automatically, rather, there should be a conscious effort on both partners to proactively do their best in rebuilding their marriage and restoring the broken trust. In a manner of speaking, broken trust is a lot like a lost dog, which may never come back, unless you actively look for it. If you lost your favorite dog, you would go to a lot of pains just to locate it back.
Wouldn’t you do the same with broken trust?
True, the pain and the hurt may remain in your heart for a while. It is humanly impossible for pain and hurt to disappear overnight. Just like a lost pet that you love dearly, find ways so that you can restore broken trust and rebuild your marriage. Start talking with each other even if you have to endure the pain. True love, after all, is about working things out.
