Remember that it could take longer than you would want for your partner to grieve and be traumatized, even though you might feel like you are starting to heal as the one who cheated. It is helpful to sit with their suffering, be honest with them, and reassess their emotional well-being on occasion. It’s possible that you’ll show symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Instead of a physical shock like post-traumatic stress disorder, learning that your partner is cheating might be a psychological shock to the system you’ve created as a pair (PTSD).
