Infidelity

Infidelity is breaking a promise to remain faithful to a sexual partner. That promise can take any form, from marriage vows taken before thousands of witnesses and sanctified by the state to a verbal agreement between lovers in a darkened bedroom. As unthinkable as the notion of breaking such bonds may be, infidelity is common—and when it does happen, it raises thorny and painful questions. Should you stay? Can trust be rebuilt? Can you and should you forgive and move on?
