The betrayal
Added 2021-12-27 12:00:04 +0000 UTCBetrayal hurts. Finding out that a partner is unfaithful is one of the hardest times in anyone's life. The emotions that arise after discovering infidelity can wreak emotional havoc on the one who has been betrayed (and the one who has betrayed too!). We live surrounded by situations like this. Whether in real life or in entertainment, we find couples hurt by a betrayal and, with that, some “unique” ideas about love. For example, a message that is commonly conveyed in movies, books, and soap operas is that the relationship that overcomes infidelity is strong. “Not even that was able to break the bond between the partners” is what they seem to say. Another notion is that men cheat more than women, so she needs to forgive her partner or live waiting for his slip. These conceptions often shape people's thinking. But are they really true or do they help to take care of mental health in this difficult situation?
