From the author: this article is the result of summarizing the experience of working in situations of female infidelity using emotional-imaginative therapyAuthor: master of short-term strategic therapy Oleg Vladimirovich SurkovFemale infidelity. What to do? Do you know what the two most important qualities in a man are? This is strength and pride. And suddenly a man finds out that his woman has cheated on him. What happens to a man in such a situation? At least three people are involved in the act of betrayal. A man, his woman and the rival with whom the woman cheated. Through a woman's betrayal, a man enters into an invisible duel with his rival. Usually, betrayal is perceived as a stab in the back. What happens to male pride? Often it is perceived as having lost its integrity, its unity. Male pride and male dignity are wounded and cut. At the same time, it is the opponent who plays the main role in this. Since “cut wounds” are often inflicted with a “sharp knife” and are inflicted by someone similar to a “snake”. Do you see male symbolism in these images? So, this is the opponent. Usually in such situations there is also resentment. These feelings are already largely addressed to the woman. Why did she choose him? My opponent? And this in turn leads to the next question: “What is wrong with me? Why am I worse? My husband's self-esteem is hurt. And this already deprives a man of his strength. Often in a situation of betrayal, a man asks himself the question: “Is it necessary to continue the relationship? Should we continue to live together? What to do next?". In such a situation, a man may regress to the teenage or even childhood stage of his development. He often becomes inactive and takes a wait-and-see attitude. Or, on the contrary, a man shows aggression towards his wife or his rival. He may start drinking vodka. Why does he show his aggression or drink vodka? And then to prove that he is a man. But this is a dead-end path that will not lead to a resolution of the situation. So what should be done in such a situation? First of all, you need to restore the integrity of your male pride and regain your lost strength, and only after that make a decision about a relationship with a cheating woman. In this state, having masculine pride and strength, a man is already able to make an informed decision. Good luck to you.
