Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and withholding of feelings all damage the very roots from which love grows.

Often, it’s not any specific sexual or romantic behavior that causes our significant others the most pain and harms our relationships. The worst pain and hurt is caused by our continued deceptions, emotional distance, secrecy, and the consequences that arise from them. loss of relationship trust. For our partners, the emotional pain and loss associated with a breakdown in trust is more painful and lasting than our actual physical or emotional infidelity. The consequences of our betrayal begin and end with a breakdown in trust. These consequences will only be mitigated when trust is restored. Only when we regain the trust of our partners can we find a way out of this dilemma.
