Published 5 years, 10 months ago

We discuss the following ...

Come clean ... shoot straight ... no more lies.
Take complete responsibility ... don’t blame.
Completely end things with the other person.
Be remorseful and apologetic.
Listen with empathy.
Ask for forgiveness.
Be transparent. Don’t hide things. Be where you say you will be. Regularly check in. Text back or call back immediately if possible.
Answer questions they want to know.
Don't say, "Why can't we just start over?," or "Can't you just get over it?"
Be patient as your spouse heals. IF YOU’VE BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO YOUR SPOUSE, YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT DICTATE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THEM TO HEAL.
Be around and available.
Make them feel like they are #1 again.
Refresh your marriage. Counseling ... workshop. ETC
NEVER cheat again. If you get a second chance, feel very blessed ... rarely is there ever an opportunity for a third chance.
