This is why I took back my cheating partner, and why forgiving an affair is a lot more complicated than the 'wronged woman' narrative suggests

Korin Miller

In this situation, I realised you never know how you’re going to react until it actually happens to you. If you’d asked me before if I’d have stayed, it would have been a firm ‘no’. Even he admitted, he thought I’d kick him out. But in reality, it was way more complicated and messy than just walking out and starting over. We shared a life, children, family, a home, finances, a long history, and a future that I still wanted.

When I really investigated my own feelings – without any of the social expectations – I realised I didn’t want to leave, I wanted to try and figure it outSo I made my decision to stay and he made it clear he wanted to, if I would give him the chance. Not everyone gets that chance – often an affair means the relationship is irretrievable for either or both parties.

It took me a while to share my story, and I needed time to process my feelings away from the judgement and pity that came with the ‘affair’ conversation. Suddenly, I felt as though it was fair game for people to question whether I had been a good wife or if I could 'keep my man happy'.

I love this pic 😍❤
