Infidelity: Be attentive to your relationship

Speak, talk about it, do not close yourselves our and make long-term projects that will reduce the chances of rekindling your relationship.

The ultimate aim of this rescue plan is to rediscover each other. Try to look at each other with new eyes by believing that you still do not know everything about the other one. Do not hesitate to speak openly about what you like as well as what annoys, frightens or saddens you. Give the other one enough space so that he/she will be able to answer and express him/herself. Be attentive, and let the other one know that he/she can lean on you. Give and receive. Ask each other regularly if you do everything to make your relationship work, and of course, if you feel happy. Do not forget either to speak about the future. “Long-term projects imply a mutual commitment where we feel reassured on the desire to move forward together,” reminds the psychiatrist. Rebalance the powers, the functiont and missions. And especially, repeat it by a gesture, a word, an attention that you love him/her. Even if everything remains to be reinvented.
