Infidelity can be a devastating blow to a relationship, and rebuilding trust after infidelity can be a long and difficult process. However, it is possible to rebuild trust in a relationship after infidelity, and with hard work and commitment from both partners, it’s possible to move forward in a positive direction.
Remember, not all the cases are possible to solve and most of them depend in why it happened, with who and when, but most of all, you depend on the remaining trust of your partner to give you the chance to prove yourself worthy of regaining that trust again.
· Take responsibility ·
If you are the partner who has committed infidelity, it’s important to take full responsibility for your actions. This means acknowledging the harm you’ve caused and expressing genuine remorse for your behavior.
Not only that, once the truth is out there, you should never try to justified it or hide it. It will make an irreparable damage.
If you are the partner who suffer from the infidelity, remember, nothing you do can make the other part betray your trust (unless you were unfaithful first). If the other part believe there was a reason, he or she should come upfront before betraying you, be honest and confess they want to be with someone else.
· Be transparent ·
Rebuilding trust after infidelity requires complete transparency. This means being open and honest with your partner about your actions, thoughts, and feelings. It’s important to be willing to answer any questions your partner may have, even if they are difficult or uncomfortable.
In this moment you have the opportunity to prove that it’s something that’s never gonna happen again. Do not try to convince the other person or find a reason why it happens. Tell the full story with details and be honest on why you believe you were in that situation and what you are going to do so it can never happen again.

It can even take the same time it took at the beginning before you even met your partner or even more. The idea here is to create relationship with strongest communication and make an effort to enjoy everything else from the relation why the trust is rebuilding again. Think of it like a really long date.
· Make an effort ·
It’s important to make an effort to rebuild the relationship after infidelity. This may involve making changes to your behavior and habits, such as being more attentive and present in the relationship, showing appreciation and gratitude, and making time for your partner. It’s also important to communicate openly and honestly about your needs and desires and work together to find ways to reconnect and strengthen your bond.
Remember, you don’t want to be in the same position you were before it happened because that can lead you to the same place. You should look for something better. Also you don’t want to feel the rest of your life like you ow your partner something, because that is not a healthy relationship. Being more attentive should be made in a way your partner can do it too even if they were the betrayed ones.
· Set boundaries ·
Setting clear boundaries can be a helpful step in rebuilding trust after infidelity. This may involve establishing rules around communication, such as agreeing to be completely honest and transparent with each other. It may also involve setting boundaries around physical intimacy and agreeing to be monogamous.
Don’t make stupid rules like you can never be alone with women or men, or you can’t have a beer with your friends and stuff like that. It doesn’t work for a real relationship. Just be honest about your concerns and establish a middle ground for both parts.
TIP: The correct way of setting boundaries and rules in a relationship is being conscious that all the rules work for both sides. If your partner can’t be alone with friends or have to be home at a certain hour or whatever, it means that all those rules apply to you too under any circumstances.
