How Long Does It Take to Heal After Infidelity?

Video Description

Healing a marriage after infidelity is a deeply personal and complex journey, and one of the most common questions I get is, "How long does it take to recover trust and feel whole again?" While the timeline varies for everyone, there are key factors and milestones that can guide your expectations and help you assess your progress. In this video, I cover: -The nature of healing: Why recovery is gradual, with setbacks and emotional triggers being a normal part of the process. -Factors that influence recovery: The duration and knowledge of the affair, the state of the marriage beforehand, and the presence of children. -Why children complicate decisions about ending a marriage: Divorce’s impact on kids and how it shapes their perceptions of love and trust. -Signs that therapy is working: From less emotional turmoil to better communication and stronger boundaries, these markers signal progress. -When therapy ends: How to know your marriage has stabilized and is ready to move forward.
