Infidelity is probably the single most damaging thing that can happen to a marriage, and it’s very unfortunate because it is one of the most common problems a married couple will face.
The feelings of betrayal can last a lifetime. In most marriages, however, infidelity leads to divorce.
California is a no-fault divorce state – meaning that the spouse asking for the divorce doesn’t have to show that the other spouse did anything wrong. It doesn’t matter if one spouse had an affair. California law does not punish the party who had the affair.
Statistics show that about 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an extramarital affair during their marriage.
You are probably experiencing a wide range of emotions ranging from anger to grief to rejection to denial. Such negative feelings are not easy to put behind you; you might even feel that you can no longer trust anyone.
Marriage can be one of the most fulfilling relationships in one’s life. However, sometimes it can be the source of many problems and struggles.
Have you decided that divorce is for you? Divorce can be difficult on two people who promised to love each other forever, but it need not be devastating.
