Recovering From Infidelity - Rebuilding Trust and Intimacy Recovering from infidelity means that your relationship needs to shift from an environment of deceit to an environment of truth. If you are the cheating spouse, you need to exhibit behavior that is free from pretense or deceit. Meaning that you become so open that your spouse can actually see through your words and actions and know what you are thinking and doing. Openly sharing of yourself in this way sends a message to your injured spouse that you are being honest and it also opens the lines of communication in your marriage once again. One of the hallmarks of a successful marriage and building trust is the free and open exchange of information – that is, open and honest communication between partners. An affair can shut down the lines of communication in a relationship, making it difficult to repair the marriage and restore intimacy. If you want to rebuild intimacy and trust in your marriage, then both of you need to be transparent or open with each other. Learning to be transparent with your spouse is not going to happen overnight. You will have to learn some new skills and practice them regularly in order to make it work. The first step is that you need to start telling your spouse about your life. Freely share the information and be honest and forthcoming with your spouse. Get in the habit of openly expressing your thoughts and feelings with your partner, as this will prevent you from building up resentment in your relationship. Your spouse will get to know your likes and dislikes, when your feelings are hurt or when you are upset in some way. Being transparent with your spouse is one of the keys to rebuilding trust and honesty as you work toward recovering from infidelity in your marriage.
