Some of you who are struggling with infidelity are asking “Where can I find a Support Group for Infidelity?”. “Do Support groups for infidelity exist?” or a similar question. The answer is, YES, there is a support group for infidelity.
After years of working with affair recovery, we finally have a support community at Restored Lifestyle. In it you’ll find forums for the betrayed, for cheaters, for couples and for swingers.
There’s healing within a community of others who are supporting you through your recovery. My father often said, “We get hurt in relationship and we heal in relationship.”
You’ll also find articles and access to the video and printed resources. In those resources you’ll find material for the cheater, dealing with affair trauma, relationship trauma, affair relapse and more.
If you don’t feel that an online support group for infidelity is for you, then you may want to check out the support groups in your community or at your church. These days, many churches have support groups.
In terms of community groups, you may need to consider attending one that has commonalities with what you’re up against. It may strike you as weird, but Alanon or ACOA (Adult children of Alcoholics) provide you with information on dealing with game playing that is common with drinkers and cheaters.
If you are dealing with both of those issues, then BINGO! You know where to get some help.
This will get you started.
Best Regards,
Jeff

The specific support group depends on the needs and desires of the person seeking support.
Mine is for Standers and focuses on infidelity within the context of midlife crisis.
Some groups have subgroups so many bases get covered.
There is the recovering couple
Ongoing infidelity with a single alienator
Chronic infidelity–serial adulterer/Philanderer
In-Process Divorce
Post Affair recovery without marital recovery–and this is different for the person who does not want the betrayer back versus the person who still wants to reconcile.
Some suport groups and forums can easily fit all of these into a single board or a series of baords, but for some people, they want the niche. Ex. My group is specifically about Standing–so they want to reconcile. Some change their minds and not all are Standing, but it is geared toward Standing and they specifically avoid other places because so many are against their Stand and they get a lot of criticism that is direct, though some is indirect by people just not being supportive. But my posters do not want a site about divorce. We don’t deny, but it’s not what we are about. But for others that is needed.
So each person needs to find a group that fits their emotional and situational needs and desires.
