With anger and despair intertwined, the temptation to get even can be overwhelming.
Revenge can have long term ramifications for all parties involved, MBACP-registered counsellorJodie JamestellsBored Panda.
She explains that the urge for revenge often stems from the intense emotions triggered by infidelity.
Whether it is anger, sadness or betrayal, your feelings are valid and understandable.
Instead of holding onto resentment, James suggests accepting your emotions and having a direct conversation about the issue.
The feelings and emotions that come from infidelity should be recognized and validated.
This means open and honest communication with your partner, she says.
Of course, thats easier said than done.

That doesnt necessarily mean they do it out of love.
