Faith and fidelity–they’re pretty closely tied. That’s why infidelity is such a bad idea. There goes your faith that someone will be true to you, your hopes that there’s someone who will stick by you no matter what. Infidelity always brings up that question–will I ever be able to trust someone again?
Yes, you can–but here’s the clue. You need to trust yourself first. You need to know that you’ll pay attention to your relationship, that you won’t just withdraw or get lulled into meaningless routines, that you’ll have the courage to change or leave your relationship before it gets to this point.
What doesn’t work is to withdraw into feeling victimized, or tell yourself that you don’t really need your partner’s attention, or that you’ll never trust anyone again. Start with asking–can I trust myself to reach out, be vulnerable, face the truth whatever it is? That’s a faith you can keep.
