Pain of Infidelity
Written by Barbara Longsworth
Serious physical injuries could probably top off the pain infidelity can cause. It might sound tough, but it is the truth. There are few emotions you could say that they barely resemble the ones caused by an act of infidelity. The pain is staggering, to stay the least, especially if you have been focusing your full attention and affection towards that relationship for several years. There are ways to cope with it, it’s true, but it is almost impossible to forget and sometimes forgive.
They say men cheat because it’s in their DNA; they just can’t help it; it’s not something “personal”, they just need to get it out of their system and prove once more they are capable of being the strong “component” of our specie. Women, on the other hand, seem to have a completely different statute when it comes to cheating. Their adventures are seen differently and their behavior is put to the wall – most time by men. While men cheat because they need to prove their virility or charm, and they normally have one-night stands, women usually stroll along some adventurous paths that can last for months. In other words, women rarely choose one-night stands – except for those cases when they need to make a point and get revenge on their partners. They choose affairs simply because they need to dedicate their whole being, body and soul, to the other man.
Without trying to find an explanation or the smallest gate of escape, cheaters are and will continue to be victims on their own. They will be forced to live for the rest of their lives with the thought of having hurt the persons they probably love; they will be left feeling miserable and hunted down by their dirty deeds. And their dirty deeds will certainly leave a big hole into the heart of the cheated ones.
The pai
I am talking about is definitely excruciating, especially if the news slaps you in the face out of the blue; you are definitely feeling frustrated, desperate, impotent, clueless, disarmed, hurt, lost and the list could go on for each and every one of you who went through couple infidelity.
Learning the reasons that have led to the end result might do you some good; in fact, they might help you fight against all the pain. Focusing your full attention on either trying to make things work again within your couple, or trying to learn new ways to move on should help you perish part of the pain. Of course that completely vanishing these feelings will probably never be possible, and for the next months or so, you might close your eyes and relive those dreadful moments when you’ve learned about the infidelity.
It is entirely up to you if you want to go to a therapist and sort your problems out, or go to a psychoanalyst and learn how to get on with your life as a single again. The pain might be suffocating, but you can take control over, dust yourself off and try again.

Dr. Venus Nicolino: You Have To Make Yourself Available To Find Good Relationships
The idea of making yourself more desirable by making yourself less available doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it. After all, Juliet would have plunged a premature dagger into the heart of her romance with Romeo if she hid in her room rather than go out on her balcony. The end of Sleepless in Seattle shifts from "awww" to "aw, no" if one of the two main characters skips the trip to the Empire State Building. As these examples from fiction show, making yourself
