157. When the Marriage Doesn’t Survive Infidelity
Update: 2025-09-24
Description
When betrayal strikes, many couples attempt reconciliation. But what happens when it doesn’t work out? When the marriage itself doesn’t survive, and you’re left staring at a future you never planned for?
In this episode, I explore the emotional reality of life after infidelity when reconciliation comes to an end. We’ll talk about:
- Why survival mode is not the same as healing.
- The loneliness of everyday moments and how grief deepens when you lose the sense of “we.”
- How to balance the demands of single parenting or solo living while still making space for your emotions.
- Understanding the many different “parts” of you, and how to care for the wounded parts without letting them define you.
- Why this difficult chapter can also be the beginning of rediscovering your own strength and creating a future that’s truly yours.
Whether you’re newly separated, in the middle of rebuilding, or simply fearing what the future might hold, this episode is here to remind you: you are not broken, and you are not alone.
