How to heal from infidelity?

Question

About 6 months ago, my boyfriend of 4 years cheated on me. We talked about it, we worked through it, decided to stay together, and now I'm the happiest that I've ever been in my relationship! However, lately I've been having flashbacks & triggers and I'm realizing that perhaps I dont have the closure that I need to fully put this situation in the past because lately I've been feeling insecure as f'! My question is, what's a healthy way(s) for me to heal from this and enjoy my relationship? We don't have $ for counseling btw

Answer

The only way to get over infidelity is to leave him and be in a relationship with someone who doesn't cheat.

Answer

You should decide whether this is worth it or not.

Answer

you could discuss your triggers with him . one way to get over them is to be able to talk about this. his infidelity may be in the past but the consequences of his actions will stay in your lives for a good while yet. so yeah, he needs to be willing to work on the triggers and either get rid of them fully or minimise them where he can. he needs to actively work on this. share all passwords and 100% transparency. if the only way you guys have got over it is with the stipulation that you don't bring up his "past" then I'm afraid it's bad news. his feelings don't come into it now. it's got to be what you need to move on. if not, you will have to move on without him . all the best.

Answer

It’s a million times easier to start with someone new than to try to rebuild trust that was lost. You’ll always be wondering in the back of your mind if he is cheating on you or if he will cheat on you again. 
Things are “great” for you now because he still feels guilty about what happened. Once the guilt wears off, things will return to how they were before.

Did it workout?

Answer

I honestly don’t think the thought will ever fully go away.if that happened to me I wouldn’t stay because you can forgive but you never really forget and it will pop up every now and then

Answer

I think you need to decide whether this is something you can live with or not. A lot of people would just leave a partner who had cheated. I can see you’re trying to make it work, but if you can’t forgive and forget, it’s going to be very hard to do so. Maybe with some more time, and talking with your partner, things may get better.
