In a recent question from a concerned reader, their struggle to like their spouse after an affair was brought to light. While trust is often the primary concern in these situations, it’s crucial to address the issue of liking your partner again.
Over a series of posts, we will explore effective ways to remove the roadblocks to liking and rekindling affection. When there is a lack of liking in your relationship, it signifies the presence of a significant obstacle.
The main roadblock to liking is resentment, which can stem from your partner or their actions. This is especially true if the same issues keep repeating. Resentment often arises from feeling provoked by repeated actions, as if you already know how the situation will play out. You have been there an bought the T-shirt.
When the cheater continues to repeat their offenses, resentment builds up, and it becomes a lingering anger that takes up residence in your heart and mind. Reminders of the affair can trigger these resentful feelings, stealing any joy you may have had.
These strong reactions drain you emotionally and leave little energy for anything else. It’s important to address these emotions and work towards overcoming them.
In our video “Overcoming Affair Trauma,” we guide you through the process of getting unstuck from the pain associated with resentment. By freeing up emotional energy, you can start to move forward and make positive changes in your relationship.
While this won’t magically make you like your spouse again, it will provide you with more emotional energy and pave the way for future growth in your relationship.
Join us on this journey towards healing and rekindling affection.
Keeping It Real,
