My Wife Cheated. Was It My Fault?

If your wife cheated, her affair was not your fault. Your marriage may have had problems, and you may have things you need to own—but you did not make the choice to cheat. She did. One of the most damaging questions betrayed men hear after infidelity is, “What was going on in your marriage?” It immediately connects problems in the relationship with one person's decision to have an affair. But marriages can have poor communication, little emotional connection, or problems with intimacy without either partner cheating. Marriage problems and the choice to betray are two separate issues. You can honestly look at where you could have been a better husband without taking responsibility for your wife's choices. Own what's yours. Don't own her choice. In this video, I explain why “Wasn't I enough?” is the wrong question, what your wife needs to uncover about her choices, and how you can begin separating your healing from her responsibility. IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL LEARN: • Why your wife's affair was not your fault • Marriage problems vs. the choice to cheat • What you can—and cannot—take responsibility for • Why “Wasn't I enough?” can keep you stuck • The WHAT, WHY, and HOW she needs to uncover • Why full therapeutic disclosure matters • Why your healing and her healing are separate FREE COURSES: For Betrayed Women: Chaos to Calm https://chaostocalm.coachbethfischer....
