You've Been Caught Cheating! Now What?

So, your secret affair has come to light. You've been caught cheating! Now what do you do?

If an affair takes place over a prolonged period of time, there will be a good chance that it will be discovered. Affairs happen for many different reasons, some more deliberate than others.

There are temptations all around, and many affairs occur because a partner thinks they are just "sampling", but it turns into a full course meal.

The truth is, not all bad things are done by bad people. Good people sometimes get caught up in a moment which leads to bad decisions with consequences.

You've been caught cheating. Hopefully you are one of those good people that made a bad decision. It is also true that one choice does not define a person. A person's body of work is what gives them character.

The honest truth is at this point your relationships future may be out of your hands. But you are now faced with how you should proceed since getting caught.

If you are in a relationship with someone that you really do love, then there are a few things that you need to think about and address.

· Should you stay or leave the relationship? If you are still "in love" then the decision should be to realize that you made a terrible mistake and proceed with the intentions that you will do what it takes to make it work. If you are in a relationship that was really over even before you got caught, then it is now time to exit stage left. This should be done as tastefully as possible. There will be no reason to put either of you two through anymore misery.

· Remorse. If your relationship is really "worth the chance" to make it work, then you will need to show true remorse. Your partner is in a very vulnerable state right now and will need to know that you are truly sorry for hurting them as you did.

· Sensitivity. This will be the time to be sensitive towards your partner. Patience will come into play here, as there will be a lot of emotional reactions to what was just discovered.

· Communication. This is by far the most important thing that you can do and may be the one thing that could save your relationship. Hiding or running away from the tough conversations may be the downfall and collapse of your relationship. You will need to communicate to know how your partner is feeling at a particular time, and they will need to know the same about you. A lack of communication may very well be perceived as unremorseful and insensitive. You don't want that, especially if that's not what you are.

The reality is that, you've been caught cheating, but despite all the divorce statistics that you hear floating around, there are still many relationships that do rebound from cheating and infidelity. You do have the chance to be one of those that do survive infidelity.
