What Is Infidelity?

Infidelity is often perceived as a breach of trust that, for many relationships, goes beyond just physical affairs. It can encompass emotional connections, where a partner shares deep, intimate thoughts and feelings with someone outside the relationship, as well as online interactions, such as engaging in romantic or sexual conversations through social media or dating apps. These actions violate the agreed-upon boundaries of a relationship, which can vary significantly between couples. Infidelity can stem from many different things, including impulsivity, unmet needs, unresolved conflicts, or a desire for novelty, and requires both partners to evaluate their individual experiences, actions, and emotions.

The impact of infidelity is profound, often shaking the very foundation of a relationship. These feelings can extend to shock, anger, betrayal, and sadness, in addition to guilt, shame, self-doubt, and insecurity. This breach of trust can lead both partners to question the authenticity of their relationship and the future they envisioned together. Many relationships find themselves overwhelmed after the discovery of infidelity and can get stuck while trying to decide how to create understanding, repair rupture, and move forward. At Denver Couples & Sex Therapy, our therapists are skilled at helping individuals navigate this space and can provide the compassion, understanding, and tools to help you heal.
