Guy Stuff: 3 Ways to Rebuild Trust After Your Affair is Exposed
Staying with a guy who cheated on you is a personal choice. You may choose to stay because you've got kids and you don't want to rip your family apart.
You may choose to remain in the relationship because you think he's essentially a good guy who made a mistake and let's face it, everyone makes mistakes. Whatever the reason, the choice is yours. If you've decided to stay with him, here are 3 ways he can rebuild the trust you lost in him when he had his affair.
1. Call it a day - if he's truly remorseful for his mistake, one of the key things that he's going to have to do is show you that when he's not with you, he's NOT cheating.
Establish regular communication during the day. If you're the guy who messed up, make sure you call your girlfriend or wife several times a day and that you have meaningful conversations every time.
Talk about the things that have happened during the day and make sure you talk about how much you're looking forward to seeing her at the end of the day. Show her how excited you are to come home to her.
2. Compliment her - you may have cheated on her, but she's doing her best to forgive you. Make it easy on her. She's thinking that you cheated on her because you weren't attracted to her or because she's gained weight.
Whatever the reason, there was no excuse for cheating. In the aftermath, it's important to make sure she knows exactly how attractive you find her. Compliment her every chance you get. Let her know how much she means to you.
3. Don't lie - in the aftermath of your affair, it's important that you refrain from lying to your girlfriend or wife who is now trying to forgive you. Make sure that every word that comes out of your mouth is the truth because trust me, she's going to check. - The Average Guy.
