Confronting Infidelity - Marriage Counseling

Once the signs of infidelity have become apparent, the next stage then is confronting infidelity. However confronting infidelity is not as easy as firstly assumed, as failing to gather the necessary evidence to prove the infidelity, the confrontation will only result in conjecture that often leads to denial, and only serves as an opportunity for the adulterous partner to be more wary and hide the infidelity.

(If marriage counseling has failed to provide reconciliation and divorce is unavoidable then it is important to be fully versed in the Divorce Law and for this reason the use of an experienced divorce lawyer is highly recommended.)

Confronting infidelity

Prior to Confronting Infidelity the relevant evidence must be gathered to support the suspicion, and then should be present to the adulterous partner at the earliest opportunity. This evidence must be undisputable, such as:

Telephone/ Credit Card and other bills to prove the whereabouts of an adulterous partner.
Personal items left behind at home or in the car.
Eyewitness testimony.
Private investigator's report

Reaction to confronting an infidelity

In Confronting Infidelity an adulterous partner will more than likely react in one of the following ways:

Denial and lies
Extreme Anger
Threats, specially involving divorce, family shame, custody of children, being sued by the accused, etc.
