Three Ways to Heal After Betrayal

[@garybrooker312]

No one really understands the pain of a betrayal, except for those of us who live with it.

[@KristinSnowden]

Which is why I always encourage Betrayed partners to find a safe group of other betrayed partners to support and connect. I have betrayed partner workshops, sexandrelationshiphealing.com also has groups

[@garybrooker312]

@garybrooker312 1 second ago Solutions are what the betrayed seek not meaningless rhetoric. A group of people in intense unresolved pain? Money is all these so called therapist want. Happy people don't need these snake oil con artists.@@KristinSnowden

[@littlebanshee]

This is true. I knew a woman who was cheated on and put very strict rules on her husband who she was staying with (he’s a massive cheater btw). After I had someone cheat I completely understand why she was doing that and how she must have felt.

[@barbaraalbert5600]

Do you know any groups for people who have been abused by a therapist??? Bit** cannot have my light either. Yes. Repeating patterns. How to trust now...not like I did Needing to be heard. Needing lots more than this.Thank you.

[@tracysnipes2144]

@@KristinSnowdenthank you for this message. I was told by the therapist that if I was more affectionate or gave him more sex and clean cook and gave him more attention maybe he would not have betrayed me since the affair partner was doing all of that and I wasn’t. What a kick in the stomach. The other horrible KZbinrs Tony Gaskin and Stephan speak have validate the behavior by the same language that some of us deserve to be cheated on because we was not doing X Y and Z with our partners. This really makes betrayed partners feel like the bottom of the earth and I cannot believe these life male coaches think this is okay. They straight out say it that if you are not doing your part someone else will do it period. Forget moral values and marriage vows or even decency.

[@garybrooker312]

I feel like an empty shell of my former self and I don’t see a path towards transformation. I’ve lost all motivation and enthusiasm for life itself. This is the trauma that’s invisible to the rest of society. No one really understands the pain of a betrayal, except for those of us who live with it.

[@Laura-ui6wr]

When someone shows you who they really are.... believe them.

[@bitcoinbelle]

That is so obtuse. If someone has been groomed to believe abuse is love, they will not see what is shown for what it is. Even more nuanced is the difference between someone displaying "good manners" versus kindness and interpreting the person as "nice". Deception is a real thing.

[@KristinSnowden]

@bitcoinbelle well said.

[@j.t.1215]

​​@@bitcoinbelle That may be, but consider the possibility of the saying that it means to listen to the intuition that we *do* have on whatever level we have it. I don't think that the saying is blaming the victim on any level. (This is explained below.) I'm not saying that victims of abuse don't miss these sorts of things, because many do; for many victims, it is just the norm that they have grown up and so they *would* miss vital clues until they learn what they are. But, please consider the other possibility for this saying, that is, knowing inside something is not right and listening to that intuition, on whatever level it is perceived. Oftentimes, there are clues that even some of us that grew up in abuse explained away but that we *did* notice. No, I am not blaming the victim here. What I *am* saying is that many of us, looking back, can remember a certain instance where we had a twinge in our gut, or some indication that things were not quite right, and we gave the abuser the benefit of the doubt. To me, this saying is simply imparting that if we do have those types of warning flags, we need to pay attention and not give the benefit of the doubt automatically. I think it is incredibly important to acknowledge that even victims of abuse will, in hindsight, look at a situation and pinpoint a moment where they may have missed a clue. They may or may not have, but for those of us who *did* I believe it is incredibly important to acknowledge that and to learn from it, because becoming aware is an incredible source of power and self-agency. To me, the saying, "when people *show* you who they really are, believe them," necessarily implies that one is aware on some level; otherwise, they have not yet been *shown* and necessarily cannot be a person to whom that saying applies. To the extent that we *are* shown I think that the saying is an incredibly useful consideration. When I first heard this saying it was from Tyler Perry in a clip of a play where Madea was dispensing advice to her nephew. It was at a time where I had learned about cluster B personality disorders. (Details withheld.) It was something that I *needed* to hear and it was life-changing. I had to admit that there were warning signs that were missed. However, in so doing, I also encountered the realization the warning signs were there and to protect myself, I needed only to listen to my own intuition. So, while for some, the saying may be "obtuse," for others, it is extremely eye-opening and empowering. Just one girl's opinion.😊

[@oilselevated4808]

Your description is really spot on….grief, sadness, so much pain(I took care of him in hospice, right after he decided to “come clean” about his transactionship in another city, after 33 years of marriage). What a chaotic way to leave this world, try to destroy everyone on your way out…BUT, almost 2 years now, phenomenal therapist and I feel great!!! I don’t have to live in chaos and torture anymore and I’m grateful that chapter is over and I’m happy again.

[@tracysnipes2144]

Omgg this is my story also. 2021 he got Covid-19 and we had been married for 31yrs. As I cared for him in ICU and rehab and still hold the house down for some reason God seen everything that I did not. I never got sick as I was in the house with him for 8 days and never checked his phones or anything just lived my marriage happy well I thought. After passing found out that he was living a double life and was unhappy per affair partner I never knew this since he never bask for divorce or left the freaking home and he could have but he was paying full bills in her house as she didn’t work but I had to work every day and paying 50/50. Found out he was withdrawing up to 5000.00 per day out of the account and I have no clue where was it going. Found out he had Facebook and IG with his family friends and her as I am sitting here thinking I am in a marriage. Found out he was playing husband with her around her kids and his family and even gave her a ring 💍. Incredible I had no clue all of this was happening behind my back since she was in another state and he visited once a year only for 10days but was basically on a long distance relationship with tracking locations on their phone etc. mom and family knew all of this and I had no clue. Showed up at the funeral with the family permission since I had no clue this was happening. Amazing how God seen everything and protected me. He was planning to empty the account until there was nothing in it and move her to our state in a house with her kids and his boss and coworkers were helping. We had no kids and after 32yrs of betrayal through the marriage this is the legacy that he left in my house. What a great guy! Now she is claiming widow status and the town is rallying around her. She had tattoo of him and Facebook pic of them together through the 4 years of cheating. Yes I refuse to associate myself with him because I am embarrassed and feel disrespected. In God eyes I am and will always be the wife. I know who I was and all that I did for him to be the man that she wanted so bad but didn’t care to want him before I built him up. Keep your head up. God knew what we needed.

How long have you been broken up? My dday was 12/17/23 then I confronted him 12/27/23…. He could not stop lying. He lies to himself which lead to our breakup 3/30/24 he moved out 6/3/24… I felt great for a month.. I don’t feel that anymore. I feel terrified of dating. He was the sweetest most loving kind generous patience man. I loved loving him he always made me laugh so much and he was so much fun to be around.. it all just got so very very bad he started sabotaging every attempt I made at the relationship.. I had anxiety going to the movies with him.. by the end… it was so bizzare.. I wanna be with the man everyone thinks he is… he’s still my favorite. But I know he’s not that man.. he cheated on me soo much with so many lies living a double life… 😅 told him before I agreed to be his girlfriend to promise me one thing… if he ever cheats on me or wants to or does to just leave me. Just leave please don’t infect me with your poison and your poor choices. I don’t want to go through Betryal. He promised me he wouldn’t do that and if he did he would leave… He slept with an escort two days before he asked me to be his gf.. when he’s the one that demanded monogamy… he lied so much and for so long. I would leave for work at 6p and he would leave at 630p drive over to thier incall bag them all night sleep next to them and wake up early to be home showered and in bed by the time I got home at 8a to say hi bb hi my sweetheart my love!

[@ssing7113]

Betrayal can be anything. It’s “agreed upon” ways of behavior or knowing how the relationship function works. And the betrayal is a break in “the given rules” A lot of people have betrayal over secret credit card debt. Emotional cheating. Again anything that can be a shock on the system when you find out a secret they kept

[@KristinSnowden]

So true. Betrayal can be experienced anytime a trusted loved one behaves in a shocking or “out of character” way (or at least out of character from who you thought that person was or how they think or make decisions)

[@Steve20333]

I've just realised in the last few days ! Betrayal trauma: I have been living with all the feelings you've described ! No one can ever imagine the pain I've been going through ! I am sure it's different for everyone , but I'm also sure the pain they are going through is unique to them ! I have had flashbacks . Feelings of worthlessness . Huge problems interacting with strangers . Paranoia . Deep shame . LOSS OF TRUST . Loneliness deep deep Loneliness! And I haven't even filled half the list ! And the person I loved more than anyone did this to me , that's the pain. She took pleasure in explaining in great detail ! Everything she hated about me . She said, " im so happy. I've told you , it's a weight off my chest ," she actually felt great !

[@GinaSays]

“How can I help you” is so powerful. It’s what I have even tried to instill upon my son…and words I’ve asked both my son and husband to use with me. Ask others how you can help or be of service instead of assuming what they need or want, that you know the answer without even having asked first this simple question. These words, this simple question, is the pathway to truly helping someone instead of unintentionally hindering or hurting them.

[@softballgirl54]

I drug my husband through 5 years of active addiction... he finally got to a point where he decided that he had enough and he was done with me and my lies. When he finally chose his sanity over me and my crap, it gave me the one consequence I desperately needed. That was nearly 14 years ago. I sincerely doubt I'd be sober today if it weren't for him making that decision. What was good for him turned out to be what was good for me even though it didn't feel that way at the time! Obviously, this may not be the outcome everyone has! Wishing you all the best

I have a long history of trauma from birth. I have been the victim of betrayal, abandonment, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, rejection and most of my trauma started before I was 2yrs old. I have endured all kinds of trauma and now am at an all time low as a result of my life long trauma. I’ve looked for therapist to help but haven’t seen a trauma counselor since I was 12. Now I have hurt someone I deeply love. I cheated once. I know it only takes one time. He’s devastated and I’m filled with guilt, grief, remorse etc. I confessed my sin. I was forthcoming and ashamed. He left me. I cheated bc I always felt afraid of him walking out on me for any reason. I feared him abandoning me for the slightest turn off, mistake etc. We’re both victims of trauma. I haven’t forgiven myself for what I did to him and he isn’t forgiving me either. I allowed him to gas light me, mentally and emotionally abuse me for what I did. We have broken up however it’s his mission to hurt me however he’s able. I wanted us to work. I allowed him to abuse me bc I felt deserving of paying the consequences of my behavior. I allowed him to treat me horribly for 4yrs. He said we were good and would work everything out. He lied to me so he could punish me as long as he wanted. I want healing for both of us. However I know I can only work on me. He’s healing in his own way. I don’t think he’s going about it correctly but anything I say causes him to explode. How do I deal with that?

They say they wont do it again but then do something else.. i believe it won't happen again then it does. How do i know what to belive? Will they honestly change if they say they will?

[@Runawayslave2023]

Does a sexless marriage cause relational/betrayal trauma? What would be the best approach to deal with it if the partner does not want to change?

[@andreagreig2887]

I'm going through the same thing!

[@stefaniefeatsun]

I guess so, when the partner has strong sex desire , and their partner cannot provide them those needs, they will go to cheat you with other women or guys. But that's not the fault of the one who doesn't want sex，if both of you can’t accept each other’s choice, just leave the relationship, this is the only way to respect each other. you can’t force someone who doesn’t want sex to have sex.

This is all irrelevant when you marry a narcissist in my opinion. I wish I knew then what I know now.

[@tayalanford1447]

@KristinSnowden @KristinSnowden Thoughts/suggestions for study on situations where the person inflicting the pain genuinely doesn't believe they are doing so and they genuinely try or think they are trying to be what you need... Like they cannot see it, my perspective is a black hole. Self-martyrdom is considered putting others first, and victimizing themselves is considered being compassionate and serving others. They honestly don't see that they wait to consider me until it's become enough of a problem or created enough pain that they are now going to be a hero for coming to the table or solving the problem... How can I even approach a conversation? Is it realistic to hope that we'll eventually get to a place where my pain is seen, and the things done or said by this person is really taking into account the needs I''m expressing? Out-right blame and shame and gaslighting would be so much easier to deal with than KNOWING they are sincerely trying and CANNOT see the problem or the pattern.

[@KristinSnowden]

relationships between humans can get messy and complicated. My two favorite sayings are "hurt people hurt people" and "pain that is not transformed is transmitted", meaning if don't clearly understand the scars and shame we're carrying around, it leaks out everywhere and others' scars and shame leak out onto us. which is why I encourage group work with others who've been on the journey to repairing these relationship struggles. So id encourage you to continue to watch these types of videos to educate yourself, but also attend support groups like 12 step meetings or other groups where they're struggling (or have struggled) in similar ways. It creates perspective, framework shifts, healthy challenges, structure, accountability, hope, and support (if done right). Wishing you the best.

[@Alphacentauri819]

Are you still living at home with your mom and sister? Are you a child? If not, than you...yourself, ruminating, and not healing, not showing up for yourself, is hurting you just as much. When you are imprisoned due to the past, you are a co-conspirator to your own suffering and giving your power to others, who don't deserve power. You need to get out of your leaned helplessness and into empowerment. If you aren't living at home anymore, you don't need to deal with them anymore. You chose your own path. If you keep revisiting the feeling of poison, and replaying the poisonous thoughts in your head...you are hurting yourself, again and again. Facing reality means admitting what happened, feeling it, and attending to your inner child, and not depending on anyone else to fix it. Otherwise you won't function. You need to stop a fantasy of someone coming to rescue you. You rescue yourself.

Hi Kristin, very nice video and I find it quite helpful as I'm going through betrayal right now. Now, I do want to point out. Be careful please about the examples you give. They're mostly about men cheating on women and not the other way around. This may underline the idea, for every woman watching your video, that men are the general aholes that do this, when we all know it's a 50-50 game. It is enough that a man, just as a woman, has to to through a betrayal. My wife has also an entire choir of female friends(learned it first-hand from her whatsapp messages) trying to find reasons why she was entitled to do it.

[@KristinSnowden]

Thank you for your feedback. I try to make it a point to switch around the pronouns and examples because you’re absolutely right, women struggle with betraying behaviors as well. Sometimes I will err on one pronoun or example out of convenience or to save time but I need to be more cognizant of that.

Cheryl, for years and years - decades, I had no one to talk to about my pain, the constant intrusive thoughts. Then I found a Christian psychologist that has helped me learn to deal with the bad thoughts. I stayed married for our small children at the time. So don't ever give up and find the right therapist that can help you.

[@tracysnipes2144]

I am just seen this. Omg. This is amazing. 31yrs of marriage. She is so right about the therapy gaslighting and also n laws and Flying monkeys placing the blame on the betrayed is the most hurtful thing in this earth. For the sidechick to validate the behavior with the family and friends puts you in a crazy state of mind thinking like the gaslighting therapist that if you would have did this or that or more of this maybe you wouldn’t be sitting here in therapy today so now learn your lesson type of thing. This what a therapist will absolutely do. Well if you will have tell him you love him or well if you will have have more sex or if you will have clean cook and have sex with also giving him gifts and texting him checking on him and keeping up with everything else in your own life maybe he wouldn’t have betrayed you. Besides the gaslighting and betrayal of a awful partner that lies and has a double life he is a Good man as his family and friends will say.

How do you find people in your community that have had the same experience? This is just now happening to me and my spouse is not remorseful or apologetic. He is and will be continuing to have infidelity. This is overwhelming and do not have the support system for this. I would live to find a group in my area to reach out to.

[@carolkadrich1131]

I feel for you. Been going through this myself. Mine denied and made promises of change only for me to stay 20 years to find out it was all lies. I wish I had someone to reach out to back then, it was hard to tell friends and family, felt they wouldn’t understand. I’m thinking of ideas where women can support each other going through this that is easily accessed and private. I’m divorcing now and feel I’ve learned so much.

[@dan-Michigan]
