There isn't a correct answer for this. If you are thinking about a time period then you have already forgiven him/her. Letting the person know how you feel and that he/she needs to end this is enough time for other person to stop it right away. If there isn't any children involved with the affair then it should be stop right away. Why should there be given any time.

How will you feel if your spouse compared you to his affair partner?

No woman would want to be compared to their spouse's affair partner. When a spouse does this they are getting even for having to stay with their spouse. It hurts and cuts deeply when the cheating spouse makes comments about how much better their affair partner was. Take control and let your spouse know immediately you are not going to put up with their childish behavior and if their affair partner is so great then tell him/her (no matter how hard it is for you) that you will file for divorce as you deserve better.ANSWER:It will be a pleasure to answer this question because it did happened to me personally. When I discovered my husband's affair, I had found out that his not only admired this woman but he fell in love with her. And that is why he compared me to his "friend" aka mistress. The day he compared me to her was the day that I know, no matter how much we wanted to rebuild the relationship it will not work with me anymore. I will not be the second choice after his affair..


Why would someone have a bad attitude towards their husband or wife after having an affair?

This could possibly be due to quilt getting to them. Some people don't handle guilt very well, so they turn it into anger, or even try to blame their partner for the affair.If your spouse had an affair and is now displaying a bad attitude towards you, try to talk to them and find out how they do feel about the affair, and about the person with whom they had the affair. Let them know they can be completely honest, that you only want to make your marriage work. If he or she has already apologized, don't continue to berate them for the affair, but at the same time, you do deserve answers.You have a right to know why s/he had the affair, as well as why s/he has a bad attitude about it now. Maybe your spouse is struggling with the pain it's put you through, which could definitely account for a bad attitude. Just don't let your spouse try to blame you by trying to convince you that the affair was your fault for doing or not doing this or that.The two of you need to talk through everything, even if it takes days or weeks. Your spouse owes you answers to your questions, no matter how difficult it may be for him or her to give you those answers. But once you do get the answers you want or need, then you need to decide if you want to try to make the marriage work. If you do, then you will have to let go of the affair and start from the present, not going back to the past. You can't keep bringing it up once you do get the answers you need or want, or you will never be able to move forward with your marriage or your life together.


How can you survive an affair of your spouse and save your self respect?

If this is a one time affair your spouse has had then 'to err is human' and if they are remorseful you have a greater chance of saving your marriage. Instead of worrying about your self respect realize that percentages of affairs between married couples is high and that you are not the only person dealing with this problem. Take the bull by the horns and let your spouse know that you are not putting up with another affair and the both of you should seek counseling. The Counselor is not there to blame one or both partners, but to give the couple tools to help them through their marriage problems. Keep your head high because you were not the one that cheated and no matter how high the statistics of one spouse cheating on another it is still unacceptable in society. If your spouse has cheated more than once then pack then you are far better to file for divorce because the statistics are high they will cheat again.


Do you need to know all the details of the affair?

That could be entertaining! Go for it! ANSWER: STOP, you will be making a huge mistakes. Yes it will help some but if you will rebuild your marriage, with your spouse it's not going to be easy. This affair that he or she did will stay with you for a long time. Your mind will always be in that place and it will hunt you. It will not stop because your heart is still broken and you don't have the trust. Let God solve the pain that your spouse gave you. Always remember sooner or later what goes around, comes around. Think about it and all you can do is tell your spouse your feeling, your pain, and let time heal it for you..


How can someone balance privacy with intimacy inside the marriage after the affair?

When either the wife or husband has cheated then they have broken that bond of trust and it can take a long while to earn that trust back. When someone chooses to have an affair they hurt their spouse a great deal because it is simply saying to them 'I don't respect you; you make me so unhappy I have to find someone else.' The best medicine in a marriage is good communication skills and both partners should be able to sit down and talk about their feelings openly. No marriage is perfect and during the course of a marriage one spouse will let the other down in many ways, but that does not mean they don't love their spouse, but simply means they are not perfect. No one is perfect and if we can't possibly know ourselves 100% then we cannot know another 100%. Both men and women that are victims of their spouse having an affair are not that interested in intimacy right away because all they can think of is their mate cheating with another woman or man and why? The spouse feels there are in competition with the person their spouse had an affair with. The marriage will be unbalanced for either several months to possibly a year or more if they both work at it. Marriage counseling can help to get to the root of the problems in the marriage. Sometimes it simply boils down to the fact that one or both of the spouses are immature when they expect their marriage not to go through some bumpy times and it certainly gives them no cause to cheat. As far as having privacy the trust is earned; then the victimized spouse feels more secure and will let their spouse go out with friends on the odd occasion or give their spouse more room for privacy. Meanwhile the spouse who cheated can make an effort to include his/her spouse (quality time) going for dinner; dancing; movies, etc., which will help them become more intimate. The cheating spouse can always go to another room; have a hobby at home; go on the computer, etc., until they have earned the right of trust from their spouse.
