"How can I ever trust him again?"

Want a band aid
For that Relationship Problem?
 

Why not...
...Try A different way of looking at the problem?

I think you know:
 You can never solve a problem with the same
mind set in which the problem was created.

So wouldn't the solution for your problem
be a simple change in your mind-set?

Here's the mind-set in which
the problem now exists and persists:

"He cheated on me!
 How can I ever trust him again?"

You've been betrayed by the man you trusted. He's strayed from the nest, had an affair with another woman! You're angry and broken hearted!

A change of perspective

When you're angry, broken hearted and feeling betrayed, it's almost impossible to feel positive in any way about your situation. So, go ahead -- experience out your anger and hurt. Get most of it out of the way.

Then when you're able to think more clearly about what's next for you, you'll want to take back your power, choose out of that victims role.

"He did it to me." is definitely a victim's story. In such a case as this, you've given him the power to make you angry and to hurt you.  Only after you've taken back your power will you be able to know what's next for you, and then to choose past your problem.

Don't let him back into your life until you've chosen out of the victim's role.

He's betrayed you. The question, now is can you ever forgive him? Can he earn your trust ever again? Those are questions for you to decide, but here's a word of advice:

It's time for a new agreement! If you let him back into your life without a new agreement, you've established a pattern and the chances are, he'll do it again.

The only way you'll have the power to negotiate a new agreement with him and make it stick, is to choose out of the relationship and then agree to choose back into it under that new agreement.

"Every relationship is an unwritten
agreement about who we will be in it"

So, Why Aren't You Rich?
