Being a betrayed spouse I understand how she might feel. My spouse says to be positive but sometimes I feel she’s defensive. It triggers me because I remember her arrogance when I tried to get her not to commit adultery. It’s easy to say stay positive when you’re not the victim but play the victim. It’s hard to get over the humiliation and emotional scars. It also helps when the betrayer plays more of a active role in recovery instead of avoidance.
