When talking about betrayal in a relationship, most often people mean physical betrayal: it is this side of deception that serves as a weighty argument for parting.
At the same time, disrespect for a partner or emotional detachment seem to mean less, they seem not to be taken into account, therefore they are not considered serious reasons to disperse.

But deception has many faces. Even the smallest lie can lead to significant consequences: a complete breach of trust in a couple, lack of mutual understanding or conflicts with others.



If any of the following concerns you, discuss these points with your partner. So you will bring clarity to your relationship, reconsider it and change something:

❗️ non-fulfillment of agreements, promises;

❗️ lack of respect, criticality, negative evaluation, negative comparison;

❗️ emotional coldness, alienation, fading of interest, attraction;

❗️ insincerity (lying), hiding or suppressing information, teaming up with another against a partner;

❗️ emotional betrayal, low loyalty, superficiality of relationships.



What to do if you are faced with betrayal?

No matter how difficult it is, it is extremely important to realize and acknowledge the fact of what happened, to give yourself the opportunity to live through sadness and disappointment. This requires courage and honesty both to yourself and to your partner.

Find time and openly discuss the situation that has occurred, the negative feelings that have arisen in connection with it.
Reconsider your expectations and try to consider compromise solutions together.

First of all, it is necessary to deal with your feelings — to regain inner trust in yourself, and only then switch to the external world — to relationships with other people.

❗️ To do this, remember:

You are not fully responsible for the betrayal that occurred. At least two people are involved in the relationship, so everyone makes their contribution.
