An affair can be an enormous blow to a relationship. Both partners can experience a range of emotions and symptoms such as flashbacks, anger, anxiety, depression, profound hurt, and loss or grieving of the relationship they once knew.
In spite of the tremendous impact an affair can have, studies have shown that the majority of couples can recover from affairs and even go on to experience more closeness and satisfaction in their relationships. Anecdotally, I have had couples tell me that though they would never again choose the path of an affair, the process of seeking couples counseling to recover from the affair brought them closer and improved the quality of their relationship.

How to save your relationship if you have had an affair
Many factors can impact the recovery rates from affairs, such as:
-The quality of the relationship before the affair
-The commitment to doing the work required to repair the relationship
-The patience and commitment of the betraying partner to help the betrayed partner through the healing process at the pace the betrayed partner needs
-The willingness of each partner to carefully understand and work through the factors that led to the affair
-A commitment to creating a relationship in which partners are turning to each other with needs, fears, and desires and consistently working through blocks to that sharing and mutual support .
