"Hi, I'm Patti German and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist here in New York City. In this clip we're going to talk about how to get past infidelity. Infidelity is one of the hardest problems in a relationship, and it may not even be getting past it. It's understanding, number one, whether you want to stay in the relationship. And if that is important, then we have to understand together what happened to cause infidelity. What caused the partner to stray? What responsibility does each person have in it? The person who was betrayed is the one who's hurt, and we have to listen to what that hurt feels like. And the person who is not loyal has to be able to understand how deeply the hurt goes in betraying the relationship and has to listen to what their partner is saying about what it did to them; to hear how, how hurtful this was. This is, staying loyal in a relationship is what a marriage is really about. So when this gets violated, it's very, very hard to get past it very quickly. It takes a long time to work through the hurt. And again, this is Patti German in New York City."
