Is there hope for transformation after an affair? In a compelling third episode of the Arc of Love series, it began with a passionate affair, resulting in the dissolution of two marriages. The two lovers then entered new relationships but continued to engage in infidelity with each other. Eventually, they embarked on a relationship together, where they faced challenges of mutual betrayal. As they now strive to rebuild trust, I guide them towards confronting brutal truths about themselves. Listen to "A Small Town Affair," on Where Should We Begin?, and share your thoughts: Should the couple stay together and work through it, or part ways?
Yes transformation is possible when two people make it a priority to work on themselves along with working on a relationship. Most of time, this is a path less taken because we fear the work and want the romanticised version of love forgetting love is a choice and one such choice of love is to choose another and the work that comes with it.
Esther Perel You open my mind further and further every day. And that makes me a better partner and friend.
Yes, I believe there is always a chance for repair and healing. However, I was married to a text book Narcissist for damn near 30 years… I’m not, but if I was a betting man, what would be the odds that things would change? 🤔
Love.

3moFrom my experience with clients in session, affairs & separations seem to have this power to fuel positive change in the partner who is hurt. Almost like an injection of adrenaline to start a new chapter.
