Infidelity can be a painful experience for anyone to have to go through, with your entire foundation of trust in your significant other crumbling to pieces in the blink of an eye and feeling lost and vulnerable in the light of it. You might feel pain, anger or confusion with no idea what to do next or if you’re even sure whether it’s happening or not. You might not know how to deal with uncertainty flowing through you or how to possibly confront your significant other about the matter. Here are a few things you can follow in order to figure and rationally deal with your feelings;

Write Down Your Suspicions

The first and foremost thing to do if you suspect your partner of being unfaithful is to jot down the red flags you keep noticing. This will allow you to distinguish if there is a pattern among the signs and if they are truly telling or if you’re projecting any unresolved feelings onto your partner with no cause to truly suspect them of cheating. Human relationships are complex and sometimes the warning signs can be just those or even flukes. However, never disregard your gut when it’s pointing out a potential sign and make sure to write it down to be evaluated properly.

Assemble A Support Group

As mentioned before discovering that your spouse is being unfaithful it can be quite a draining experience to an individual especially if they are unable to flat-out confront them about it. In this case the next best thing to do is to turn to your next most trusted confidante. This could be family, a friend or even a group of friends. It’s not healthy to bottle up the emotions you may be feeling in an instance such as this and support is vital to keep dealing with the problem with a clear head. Therefore, never isolate yourself in a situation like this and immediately seek out moral support.

Find Proof

This may be the last thing you will want to do if you suspect your partner is cheating. Finding proof that your partner was cheating on you will be the final nail in the coffin the concrete to cement your doubt. However, before you confront your partner with your doubts it’s better to have some proof as they can always deny it or manipulate you into thinking that you were imagining things and have the evidence destroyed themselves when they figure out that you’re onto them. As painful as it may be, it’s always advisable to have some irrefutable evidence to support your claim. This doesn’t mean you have to go about looking for clues on your own. It’s always possible to hire a private investigator who’ll get the job done for you and spare you the pain.

Have The Talk

Once you’ve figured out whether your doubts were true or not it’s time to have a talk with your spouse on the issue. Make sure you’ve given yourself more than enough time to process and deal with the information and you’re going into this conversation with a clear idea of what you need to talk about. Also make sure to pick a neutral and safe environment to have your talk in, not anywhere that makes you uncomfortable and on edge. Talk it out with your spouse and figure out the direction in which you’re headed.

It’s always painful to realize a spouse may have been cheating on you and these are only a few points to help you through the ordeal.
