You unexpectedly got out of work early and decide to surprise your sweetheart. You decide to go over to his place and prepare him a fancy dinner. Strangely, his car is in the garage when he’s supposed to be in the office all day. You walk through the house but don’t see him. You do see a trail of clothes…uh oh! You open the bedroom door and catch him in flagrante delicto. What do you do next?

The good news is you can now stop deluding yourself that it hasn’t been happening. The truth is the woman always knows when the guy is fooling around - sixth sense kicks in if no one tells you. Your suspicions have now been confirmed and you can deal with your fears head on.

Now, you may decide to let it pass. It was a one night stand. It was just the one time. It didn’t mean anything, and so on. That’s good. You have a loving heart. Now what if it happens again? If it happens once, it’ll happen again. Maybe not soon, but it will happen again. Do you keep letting it slide?

Can you forgive him each time, even just the one time for betraying your trust? Can you live with the constant fear that he’ll do it again without becoming bitter or hardened? Is the relationship worth saving?

The truth is someone who truly loves you is your friend and your friends would never cheat on you or betray you. They would hold your trust so precious they would not act on the temptation dangling right before their eyes. Martyrdom is for saints.

If you choose to say goodbye, take a breather from relationships. Instead of going on dates and plunging into a new relationship, why not strengthen your family ties or renew bonds with your friends. Take the time to appreciate those who have been loyal to you and who truly love you.
