Deciding to Leave After an Affair: Emotional, Relationship, and Religious Considerations
When the Choice Isn’t Yours
Although we’re talking about this issue from the perspective of the person who is making a decision about their continued participation in a marriage, we understand that sometime that choice is forced on a partner even if they don’t want it. Our conversation in this episode still applies to that person as well, but if you are the betrayed partner, you may also want to consider listening to my interview with author Linda MacDonald in episode 38: Betrayed & Abandoned.
Discussing the difficult decision to leave a marriage after an affair. In this second episode, counselors Tim Tedder and Sharon Barbour discuss grief, shame, coparenting, starting new relationships, and the religious issues that sometimes surround this choice.
