Years ago I was unfaithful and i still hate myself for it. I never imagined i could be the person to hurt my wife so badly. I'm at the end of your video now in tears. I really appreciate this video. It gives me some hope. Thank you.

@anabrr1123 5 месяцев назад

I fell into a brief inappropriate texting relationship with a classmate of mine. It got out of hand and towards the end sexual and my fiancé found these texts. I don’t think I can ever forgive myself, all I see is the heart that I shattered and for what? Some reassurance that I was still desirable to other people after 7 years in a happy relationship? I’ve been watching videos like this all week and I still just feel so much anguish I can’t even imagine what my fiancé is going through. He has decided to try and forgive me and have us move on, but I’m scared that at any moment he can leave me and I will have no right to fight it. I really don’t know what came over me, but I’m going to be there for him as much as I possibly can to prove to him that he can still rely on me. Praying for the betrayed and betrayers of the world to heal. ❤

@latonyawhitmore6570 6 месяцев назад

This video was the hug of understanding that I needed. My boyfriend said to me yesterday “you never gonna trust me again, just admit it” I said why are you asking and expecting trust so bad. I said trust is the reason we are back at square one. It seems he wants trust more than love, or respect. But why? To do what with my trust when he had it multiple times and broke it every single one of those times. He’s not focused on being reliable he’s mad that he doesn’t have my blind trust again.

@father1st894 2 года назад

In my opinion you will never get the trust back to its original form. Once you have accepted they are capable of infidelity that kind of trust is gone. If you want to work it out and move past it together, then you have to accept that partner has been unfaithful and has the ability to make that choice again. We as the betrayed know that, and accept it or not. I did not accept it. My wife was unfaithful, so to me she was not the person for me. Some may disagree with my decision, maybe God disagrees, but it's my life and I deserved better.

I want to make it work with my boyfriend who cheated on me because he was very unhappy in the relationship, and never communicated it to me. Fear of us arguing or me getting defensive as I usually would. It’s been a month since he confessed and showed remorse but I’m not sure if I can accept that he may cheat again, though he’s putting in the work and telling me he will never do it again after he realized the pain he’s caused. Any advice?

@liddobear1125 Год назад

@@Hisarahkim im on the similar boat. I think that if you feel in your heart that the relationship is worth it, give it a chance. But don't put all your energy into it until you have made amends with your decision and forgiven them truly. Honestly try to let it go and forgive yourself and them that way resentment doesnt start building up. For me ive voiced to my partner that i will be needing reassurance and if he is willing to do that without getting annoyed. So voice your needs dont be afraid to ask for what you want during this grieving process Best of luck girly💕 Also don't let other ppl tell you otherwise from what you feel in your heart or make you feel dumb. At the the end of the day it is your relationship you're the one in it

@trollking6315 Год назад

@@Hisarahkim I am in the same boat. My wife was unfaithful to me because we would fight a lot, and we were stuck in a financial hole that my abusive father put us into. We both felt trapped, and both escaped that depression and desperation to just *feel* in different ways. I was angry, and got angry, lashing out at the situation and we fought a lot. She confided in a creep online that she knew for 2 months that tried to creep on her, then got caught. We had him blocked, then she told me he was fine and messed up. I only found out two days ago that they had been sexting and ERPing for a month... Forgiving was hard. Im still raw in it now, but that need for reassurance is key. She got irritated with me a bit that I needed it, but I told her, look, you hurt me. You knew I was betrayed by people in my life, and STILL chose to do it anyway, with some loser that didn't even know you. She realized that this guy was using her, most kitty chasers online are, and we left him ex communicated in the dust. If he stays there time will tell, I pray he does. However this will take time. My solace is that when her parents came down to visit us things seemed like old times, so I have faith that once we get back to our old home state, around family she loves, things wont be as bad. We both are hurting and wanted to fill a void, and we both realize we messed up. And that is the first step man, confess to wrongdoings. Godspeed man.

@liddobear1125 for me a year later am having problems trusting my husband who betrayed me when we lived separately. We are now separated again same country where the affair took place. He lied alot when he the affair and can't get some of those lies out of my head. I am scared that he might do it again now that am not around. This is the reason it's for me to trust him. Am not going to have sex without protection until we are able to live together again.

@xaviercastro4886 3 года назад

Wow good timing. The biggest obstacle for me is trying and wanting to trust my wife so we can just move on. And then I catch her in a couple lies today. Just stupid lies. Yep, immediately back to zero. And she doesn’t understand why. Why can the betrayed see how important truth and no deception is but the unfaithful squanders progress on stupid deceptions that can be easily verified. BIG SIGH!

@samshealingpodcast 3 года назад

i'm so sorry...often times they need an objective third party to help them understand what their lies, half truths etc do to the betrayed.

Being reliable and consistent and responsible speaks to stability. Stability is a facet to a sense of safety and security. This so goes in tandem with honesty, transparency, and an approachable attitude. Huge!

I lost my husband as he wasn't able to understand and apply this concepts. I was the crazy one asking for stupid this, the one that couldn't get over it and blindly trust again even when he proved over and over he was not reliable exactly as you explained in the video. I had to ask him to leave for good.

@Webbgurl2000 3 года назад

I would say that you didn’t lose him. He ran away. He chose to run instead of getting help. No one should be expected to blindly trust anyone. It’s impossible. I’m sorry he didn’t see your worth or his own.

I was unfaithful. And i feel confident that i will never be unfaithful again. Its definitely been a challenge being the unfaithful. Because even though i would never be unfaithful again. There are still emotions and thoughts that are hard for me to be open up about with her. I never realized that being in a relationship meant that i would have to reveal my deepest secrets of myself. Secrets that i even avoid thinking about. Secrets that ive had before me and her were even together.

@anabrr1123 5 месяцев назад

Praying for you brother, relationships really do bring out the deepest parts of ourselves we never knew existed, even years into the relationship. I also was unfaithful and am dedicating my life to proving to him that it will never even come close to happening again. It wasn’t even that I was unhappy in the relationship, he’s amazing. I really just was selfish and couldn’t say no to temptation. I pray both of our relationships can heal and grow. ❤

@junjeanne5283 Год назад

As a betrayed who is trying to work out things with my fiancee, I must say you guys have already given us so much great advise, this is another great example! I believe that an unfaithful partner might be overwhelmed with the emotional chaos that comes along with an affair and might out of helplessness not be able to see how important reliability and transparency are for both of us to recover and heal. I know I feel so much safer and calm if I know about my spouses plans, even if sometimes things happen and change...

I would love to share this with my spouse whose first language is not English. For some reason, the subtitles on this particular video seem to be coming from some kind of tech talk and not at all related to the content. We have watched some of your other videos and the English to Korean translation works well. I'm not sure if perhaps there was a transcription of some kind mistakenly attached to this video. In any case, having been only around 10 days since finding out about the situation, it would be really helpful to be able to share this video as it addresses many of the things I am thinking. Thank you so much for all of the helpful content.

@trollking6315 Год назад

I am in a similar pinch. My wife did this to me. I also come from an abusive household. My father is a drunk abusive person. He invited us back to my home state. He then screwed us for years financially. Our credit ended up shot, our lives spiraled, we got into arguments, and turned on each other. We found some enjoyment in playing an online MMO together, it has only been in existence for a few months. She told me a couple months ago that some creep messaged her and was asking about her character in her PFP, hopping in her DMs and asking if she had a "big booty". I found out due to her telling me she was grossed out, so we agreed to block this guy, and things went along for weeks. One day like a month later she asked me if it was ok to unblock him. Said he was just high and stupid. He apologized to me, said it was a mistake. I then messed up. I said it was ok but he isnt going to come into our online community. Then I get a wakeup call that she tells me that he wasnt just a "bestie for restie". He was a creep after all. He the entire past month had been ERPing them, the entire time coaxing her to leave me. The entire month sending her dick pics and asking her to send him pictures of her. She even tried to bait me into taking pictures of her that granted we didnt, but she was going to send to him... We have been talking for 48 hours. We want to make it work. We realize that both of us acting out, me with anger and her with infidelity and lying were due to wanting to "feel" something that we didnt get from each other, from being in a low point for so long due to our place in life financially and otherwise that we just, sought it out elsewhere. We are going to couples therapy, we are spending more time together and less time apart. We are talking more, not being afraid to talk anymore. Communicate. Own the hurt, learn from it and grow from it. If the love you felt at the start was TRULY a "in sickness and in health" thing, that includes mental heath issues. Trust again, it will take time, but if you both TRULY regret what happened, and TRULY love each other. Then love will find a way. I pray for you, good luck.
