What to do with a love cheat?
This morning I'm giving an interview to BBC West Midlands radio just before 10 AM about the whole issue of taking someone back after they've been unfaithful. Obviously with all the stories in the press - Tiger Woods, John Terry, Vernon Kay, Ashley Cole - this is something on many people's minds.
What with 60% of couples surviving infidelity - the statistics prove most couples stay together. But it's how happily they stay together which concerns me. So many hurt and betrayed partners never let it go and argue about their partner's cheating for a decade. Others never sort out what was behind the infidelity so that they can't make sure it never happens again - because the original problem is still there - feeling neglected, angry or whatever. No excuse for cheating but a cheater might use it that way!
TODAY’S THOUGHT: if you've been betrayed - and feel you can never trust again - and you don't have something to fight for because let's say you don't have children - then I'd say move on. In my experience betrayal cuts deeper for some people and things will never be the same. Others seem to get over betrayal more quickly. Check out the relationship section on my site for the article on 'surviving an affair' if this is what you're going through.
Today I'm loving Jay-Z and Linkin Park Numb/Encore - how did Jay-Z become such an amazing artist? Why are some people born so talented? He just goes on and on. I loved him and Alicia Keys on the Brits.
Well it's Friday and the hubby and I are going out for drinks in Soho with friends and then dinner somewhere. Can’t wait to start the weekend! Have a good one, Pam X
