In this video, Dr. Beam discusses the way that you can and should end an affair with someone you love. You don’t want to hurt this person and the situation is difficult. These facts are not lost on Dr. Beam who provides some things for you to consider in terms of deciding whether continuing your affair with this person is the most loving thing to do for them.
Dr. Beam explains that though ending the affair with someone you love will hurt both of you, that there are ways to end the affair that will result in less long-term pain in the future.
Another key point that Dr. Beam makes is that it is important to be decisive. Once you realize the right path, end the affair immediately or else your emotions will make it more difficult for you to complete and make the process more difficult.
Dr. Beam also explains some possible reactions that the other person might have and how that could affect you.
He explains what you should do immediately after ending the affair that will prevent some long-term pain for you and will begin the healing process for your marriage as quickly as possible.
Dr. Beam emphasizes the importance of looking at both the short term and the long term when making the decision to end your affair or not. In the short term, it will be painful, difficult, and will remove a source of joy from your life.
It is in the long-term that you will be better off and will likely receive more fulfillment from ending the affair. With difficult decisions in life Dr. Beam suggests looking both at the short term and the long term in determining the true value of your possible actions.
If your marriage has been hurt by an affair, we have Workshops, Coaching, and Online Courses that can help!

My parents divorced when I was 21. The marriage had been dead for a long time, and both my parents had lots of problems. I remember wishing they would get a divorce when I was in high school so I wouldn't have to deal with both parents at the same time, and it was obvious to me there was no point to the marriage even then. I think too many people think staying together for the kids is always the right answer. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. These situations are almost always extremely complicated.

Thank you for this. I had an emotional affair with a coworker. It never became more than flirting at work and texting and calling on the phone. It was still incredibly difficult to end because of the emotional investments we had made in one another. It dragged on and on and finally ending it was the best thing I did to start building back trust in my marriage.

[@vanessaaugust93]

If I may ask, what were the steps you did to end it. I know someone thats having an affair with co worker and still continue communicating at work and thinks that he's inlove with this person and that it won't change. On the other hand he's still in his marriage and attempted to leave but hasnt

My father cheated on my mum with numerous lovers. He had a baby with one random girl. My mum couldn't cope with it and moved out with my sister and I, but they still tried to work on it. At that point he met a much younger girl and fell in love madly. This finally ended my parents' marriage. Dad and his lover are now together for 26 years, most of this married. He didn't change to a completely different person, he is still a bit of a d**k ;) but apparently him and his wife are a better match than him and my mum were. The only thing I remember from early childhood is harsh words, lack of bond, loads of arguments. Dad and my stepmother have 2 daughters. I like them all a lot. I think there are so many people who married too young, grew too apart along the way or got too far with their anger/misery to maintain the marriage.

It is important to recognize if the beliefs and values about marriage being forever - no matter if you are incompatible and bitterly unhappy, are truly your values or beliefs or those of your family, community or culture.

[@kuinitofilau8830]

The changes I saw in my husband who was unfaithful was that he started drinking which he never did, he cut off his family which he would never have done because he does everything for them and overall he's just a different person from the one I married...sometimes I don't know who he is but I'm still praying for him and our marriage and our children. It's a sticky situation but I'm trying to trust in God.

[@gitarist25]

how did things work out?

[@andreamoscoso4065]

Trust in God regardless and pray that He guides you and your family including your husband. This might help someone. For people who go through childbirth or physical problems or weight gain. Either stick it through, these things can heal especially after being cut down there for childbirth and many women get a mesh placed down there. Sometimes its placed badly and will hurt so it will need to surgically or with therapy get fixed. If someone doesn't want to wait they should get divorced and not do that to someone and no the partner does not love them not in a real way not where it needs to be might be confused but still. Also be honest before a relationship/ marriage. Being emotionally invested into someone else, emotionally thinking about someone else starting to invest in someone else like that, having an emotional affair not my words but from many honest people, it affects people (both sides). Also porn is the same, emotionally physically, spiritually and soul wise. In being honest and trying, and taking the steps to get out of there and working with your wife/husband. I'm sure it helped to try to do something better. ~ For anyone else reading the comment section porn and also emotional investement to whatever degree in others affects your soul, it is cheating spiritually and physically and sets you to look at women in an unhealthy way for your mind and soul and thus this is setting you up for failure. The woman notices and feels this that you are not properly invested and cheating looking at/ to others and of course it will be a complete turn off. I suggest work on this for your sake and your future wife's sake so that you won't cause problems in that area or bring problems into your relationship and then marriage. Build trust. No trust= no connection and rejection/ turn offs. Most women percieve/ feel this cheating /porn etc (because the proof is evident even if you try to hide it) and know that you are not invested where you should be so it makes them reject the person. So it could just become a nasty cycle that goes no where until you decide to. Don't bring this into a relationship when they never expected it or asked for it, same for women with their men. Goes both ways for men and women. Many seek others or porn in the relationship stage which is cheating (this of course causes problems and alienates everyone) and so its at times brought into the marriage. Its not like it will go away with marriage. So make sure its not a thing anymore before getting into a relationship and then even worse into a marriage. Start right. Its precious years for both of you. Be honest and do all you can to not set yourself up. You seek other women it leads to failure there is no sugar coating or denying it don't set yourself up for it but do everything you can to not go that route. Best of luck. Pray.

[@amberrose573]

Dnt pray for a cheating husband .. Simply bcz thats a choice he took and God does not overrule choices

What about moral and commitment? Honesty and loyalty? I understand love is important but cheating is wrong. You just don’t do that while you are married.

[@shelleysimone8100]

Coco Ry sounds like you are referring to what happens between people who are cheating as love.Lust maybe, very strong emotions maybe, limerance maybe, but love is always honest and has nothing to do with the powerful emotions of attachment and desire that often exists between persons involved in an affair.That cannot and never will be love. but I understand and agree with what you said otherwise.

[@zuzu7250]

What about these sexless marriages? A wife loses sexual attraction for her husband but she is totally dependent on him financially. She loves her husband and he loves her- but without attraction . She wouldn’t mind if he finds someone who can fulfill his intimacy needs.. then she DOES find a man with whom there IS mutual attraction. HE IS in a sexless marriage and is financially dependent on HIS wife.what is so wrong with these people ( senior citizens- children are grown and gone- rarely check on them- no friends in common- lonely boring existence). What is so wrong in allowing these people to enjoy the little bit of life they have?

[@zuzu7250]

SHELLEY-ANNE CLARKE it can be love- If one spouse has no physical attraction for the other , they can still LOVE each other- they have just lost their need of intimacy with each other- is that really a “marriage”? Sounds more like a committed friendship- one can reap the benefits of having a friend who is committed to your health and welfare but one should be glad to have his spouse seek intimacy with a lover who genuinely cares about her. Especially when the sexual attraction in the marriage is non- existent . And especially too, when the people are over 65- let them be happy for each other- allow them to find soMe happiness in their twilight years.

[@LukiaSl]

Well my parents divorced. My dad had an affair and ended up marrying that woman and they stayed together for the next 30 years. The affair usually happens because there is already some incompatibility or dysfunction in the marriage, so it was good that they divorced. I can understand why people think of their kids and choose to stay. But honestly if that's the case then they should have thought about it earlier. I don't believe for a second that after being dishonest and disloyal to your partner, you really do love them and everything is as if nothing happened. People may compromise for other reasons, but in my opinion when you truly love your partner and are content in a relationship you don't go searching for love, sex and connection with another. The best thing you can do is be honest and then have the guts to go for what you want, including consequences.

It's not easy to remain faithful in your marriage especially when you're often neglected, abused, always having communication problems, so as the wife you're scared of speaking with him,often lonely without your spouse making out time for you yet you're still young. As a young woman, you would definitely get seduction and advances from men however be careful not to be carried away by pleasure cox it hurts at the long run especially your relationship with your kids

Either stick it through, these things can heal especially after being cut down there for childbirth and many women get a mesh placed down there. Sometimes its placed badly and will hurt so it will need to surgically or with therapy get fixed. If someone doesn't want to wait they should get divorced and not do that to someone and no the partner does not love them not in a real way not where it needs to be might be confused but still. Also be honest before a relationship/ marriage. Being emotionally invested into someone else, emotionally thinking about someone else starting to invest in someone else like that, having an emotional affair not my words but from many honest people, it affects people (both sides). Also porn is the same, emotionally physically, spiritually and soul wise. In being honest and trying, and taking the steps to get out of there and working with your wife/husband. I'm sure it helped to try to do something better. ~ For anyone else reading the comment section porn and also emotional investement to whatever degree in others affects your soul, it is cheating spiritually and physically and sets you to look at women in an unhealthy way for your mind and soul and thus this is setting you up for failure. The woman notices and feels this that you are not properly invested and cheating looking at/ to others and of course it will be a complete turn off. I suggest work on this for your sake and your future wife's sake so that you won't cause problems in that area or bring problems into your relationship and then marriage. Build trust. No trust= no connection and rejection/ turn offs. Most women percieve/ feel this cheating /porn etc (because the proof is evident even if you try to hide it) and know that you are not invested where you should be so it makes them reject the person. So it could just become a nasty cycle that goes no where until you decide to. Don't bring this into a relationship when they never expected it or asked for it, same for women with their men. Goes both ways for men and women. Many seek others or porn in the relationship stage which is cheating (this of course causes problems and alienates everyone) and so its at times brought into the marriage. Its not like it will go away with marriage. So make sure its not a thing anymore before getting into a relationship and then even worse into a marriage. Start right. Its precious years for both of you. Be honest and do all you can to not set yourself up. You seek other women it leads to failure there is no sugar coating or denying it don't set yourself up for it but do everything you can to not go that route. Best of luck. Pray.

After 40 years with my spouse he passed away and months later I entered a relationship with a medical professional who was married with 2 grown adult children who still lived at home. He said he stayed for the children. I decided after 6 months I could not continue this fake relationship. I cut off all contact with no explanation. My feelings for him were intense but I didn't think we could move forward. He would never have left his baggage for me. I was taking my bucket to an empty well.

[@user-bu7cd9hx4q]

True why stay married and be miserable

[@tmendez31]

069220 leaving your marriage for happiness (temporary happiness) doesn’t win any medals either. But if your spouse commits adultery then you can leave the marriage; leaving for the right reasons is ok. In truth, many marriages that survived the toughest times actually became much stronger. Marriage, like life, is a roller coaster. Full of ups and downs, it’s great when you are up but crappy when you are down. So I always tell people that they shouldn’t give up. Even after someone cheats there is hope, but a screw up that badly is a legitimate reason to leave. Most of the divorces are caused by someone who has either decided to leave for someone else or just to get away from their spouse who isn’t making them happy. Sticking it out through the hard times may not give medals, but it has produced some long lasting marriages. Many couples you talk to that have been married for like 50+ years will tell you there was a time that they were miserable. There is hope.

[@MoparMikeMM]

Try following the program, communicate with your spouse, one or probably both of you have done minute things throughout the relationship that over time caused the one wanting out to view the other as toxic or unattractive and fabricate excuses to justify leaving instead of working on things. People marry for a reason, most of the time, find that original attraction and work with that to rekindle the relationship.

Mandi Hall I’m very sorry about this emotional roller coaster that you have been in with a cheating spouse. Well, depends on your standards and what do you want to put up with, if he doesn’t make a decision and significant changes, you are at risk of letting him keep playing with your feelings, which it’s not fair, it destroys your self esteem and causes a lot of pain, anxiety and Health issues.You have to close your ears and stop listening to what he says and open up your eyes and see what he is doing and you will know what is important for him, then you make your own decision based in your observation and intuition, I know it’s hard when you are in love but think with your head and not your heart. Get some hope for the future, and think about what will be like if you take time to heal, get counseling and move on, you may meet someone who will really validate the wonderful person that you are. May God give you wisdom.
