Imagine what will happen if having trouble coping with your spouse's affair at work causes you to get fired from your job.

Having trouble coping with your spouse's affair at work is a real problem. Your employer understands the turmoil you are going through, but how understanding is he? Even if your employer is willing to give you all the time you need; you will still need a way to cope with the immediate trauma caused by your spouse's infidelity.

It's been 3-weeks since you learned of your spouse's cheating. You feel you have cried all the tears a person is able to. You go to work feeling that you can make it today. As the day gets started though and everyone settles in, those blues return. You find yourself running to be alone because you feel another cry coming on.

You keep crying because you can't manage your emotions. Just about everything you believed is being threatened by the affair. Also you have new issues to deal with on top of your emotions. There are questions that need answered but can't without a direction to guide you.

Your spouse is also being quiet about the affair. You want to know what happened, why he cheated, but your spouse is not telling you much. You feel your spouse is still hiding something about the affair. That is normally not the case though and I'll tell you why.

The turmoil of being the scorned wife or betrayed husband can be too much to bear. You need a plan to figure out how to cope with all the affects of your spouse's affair. It should be able to help you:

  • Deal with intense feelings caused by the affair.
  • Communicate about extremely difficult topics.
  • Decide how to go on with your daily routine from managing chores and finances to parenting.
  • Figure out how to keep living together while you regroup (should you and your cheating spouse still sleep together? Have sex?) and under what limited circumstances an immediate separation makes sense.
  • Establish boundaries with the outside affair person who may not want to end the affair.
  • Determine how much if anything to share with others about the affair including your children, family members, or close friends.
  • Take care of yourself even when it seems like your lowest priority including getting help from friends and seeing a doctor when you need to.

Re-establishing some equilibrium back in your life will fill your needs. Taking care of the issues above is the best course to re-establish equilibrium to help cope with your spouse's affair. You will finally have the direction you need and see how to proceed with your life once again.

Once you start feeling better about you it will allow you to cope. Then you will find it easier to cope with your spouse's cheating at work also. The other things in your life will start getting easier also. You will even be ready to talk about delicate things. Then your spouse will be ready to answer the questions about the affair.

That reminds me. I promised I would tell you about, "Why your spouse isn't telling you what you want to know about the affair." Your spouse wasn't ready to talk about the affair. Well he could have tried to talk but he seen how much it would upsets you. But once you learn how to cope with the initial trauma then you both will be ready to talk it all out.

Having trouble coping at work with your spouse's affair can be managed. Getting through some very critical issues and dealing with your emotions is a key to establishing the equilibrium needed to forge forward. Just remember it is your spouse who had the affair but you control how the affair affects your life at home and at work.

Take Massive Steps To Salvage And Rebuild Your Marriage After An Affair

An affair, or sometimes known as infidelity, can causes intense emotional heartache to the betrayed spouse. Money issues, health problems and personality conflict can strain a marriage but to have an affair in marriage, literally destroys the very foundation of marriage. But it does not mean that this is the end of a marriage or having a divorce. Rebuild a marriage after an affair will take a long time to heal and when a couple is committed to salvage their marriage, some couples even emerge stronger after an affair.

Start Rebuilding Your Marriage

Healing or recovering from an affair is an extremely difficult process and journey. Both partners must recognize this fact and must be committed to see this process through and believe that it is still possible to survive after an affair.

If you are the one who has an affair, be accountable for your actions. Take responsibility to end the affair immediately and take steps to stop all interaction with the person. If it happens at your work place, change your job to shown your commitment.

You have to be able to discuss openly about the affair with your spouse, once the initial shock is over. Be honest about it and provide details to your spouse, no matter how difficult it is for you and your spouse.

The affair that you had might expose a weakness in your own marriage. Discuss this with your spouse and see why you are having the affair and work on the weakness. Spend more time with your spouse and show genuine affection, tender, love and care to your spouse. Date your spouse again and maybe take up a new hobby together.

It might also be a good idea to seek professional help from a marriage counselor who is able to work through trust issues with you and your spouse. You may be anxious to forget the affair that you had but it is also important for your spouse to take his or her time to recover from it. You also have to understand that forgiveness from your spouse will not come quickly or easily, as it takes time too.

Forward Looking

An affair can destroy a marriage and not every marriage can be saved when the emotional damage is too devastating to the betrayed spouse or reconciliation is punctuated with more lies or deceit from the offending spouse.
