Sometimes spouses think that just because they didn't break trust on purpose or maybe totally break trust that it's not that big a deal. If there isn't a clear understanding of what has taken place and why it's a serious matter for your relationship to continue then it's difficult to move forward in a healthy manner. If one person has committed adultery or flirted with infidelity, trust in your marriage has been eroded and needs rebuilding. First of all, there will always be some doubt if you did indeed have an affair. Just because you weren't caught doesn't alleviate thoughts or concerns by your spouse that you have cheated. Just the possibility of you having an affair can break trust in your marriage. Once you have gotten to the point where you and your spouse have clear acknowledgment that trust has been broken and needs to be restored then I would recommend getting to the root cause of why. What happened or has not happened in your marriage that enabled the broken trust to occur? For example, if a husband continuously works and hangs out with his buddies on the weekends, while paying very little attention to his wife, that fact that she has become emotionally or physically involved with someone else should not come as a surprise. Now what isn't always clear is why. Why is the husband always working late? Is it to escape a wife who is mean spirited, negative sarcastic and always condemning him? Is the wife emotionally connected to a co-worker who seems to take a sincere interest in her well being? In order for restoring of trust to take place in your marriage, it's important to not point fingers at each other. You will not solve any of your problems playing the blame game. The goal needs to be to find out why. If the broken trust has to do with not keeping intimate details about your relationship in confidence then just the same as infidelity broken trust you want to get to the bottom of why. Why is the respect and genuine concern not at the center of your relationship? You might also have broken trust in your marriage because of lying taking place. Sometimes a spouse will lie to cover up wrong behaviors and often times a spouse might lie to avoid dealing with his or her partner. Perhaps, there is a fear of pain being caused and thus instead of dealing with a matter head on lying takes place. The problem becomes bigger and bigger as one lie is used to cover up for another lie and ultimately trust in a marriage is gone and needs to be rebuilt.
