4. Is your partner regretting their affair?
In order to heal, you need to understand what happened and why it happened. Most of the time, people do not regret the affair, they just regret the fact that they got caught. Is your partner feeling truly sorry for what they did? Are they showing regret and remorse?
After all, you can’t forgive someone who’s not even sorry for causing you pain. Forgiving someone is easier when they would do anything to make things right again.

5. Take a break if you feel like you need one
A break doesn’t mean a break-up, but you need some time for yourself to deal with your own feelings, which is especially important if you plan to forgive them. Taking a break from everything is also very important for your mental health.
However, it’s important to let your partner know that you need some time for yourself and that it’s only temporary. If you have children, it will definitely be a little more difficult, and you’ll need to make them understand why you need a few days for yourself, without telling them what really happened.
Discussing infidelity with children is never easy, and some people choose to never tell them.
