Emotional stability in a marriage is important to both physical and mental well-being. Most relationships I encounter seem to have enough stresses from external factors such as work and financial pressures, therefore adding suspicions of infidelity can often be too much for a spouse to bear. In fact, in my experience I've seen a husband or wife suffer emotional problems as serious as panic attacks, anxiety, and depression as a result of their perception that their spouse is cheating. These emotional distresses over a possible cheating spouse can ultimately result in physical ailments as well.

If you are a wife and you believe you are the victim of a cheating husband, or if you are a husband and you think your wife is cheating, what steps should you take to protect your own mental health and ensure that you don't suffer any possible physical problems from the stress of your suspicions?

Number one, there is always the possibility that your suspicion may be unfounded. In fact, I've seen a number of cases in my experience in which a spouse who suspected their mate of cheating ultimately found that they had worried unnecessarily. You must consider this problem with a cool head and a calm mind. The very worst thing that you can do at this point is to act on your suspicions in a harsh manner.

Number two, under no circumstances should you blame yourself. If you should gather further information on your situation and find that you are, in fact, the victim of a cheating spouse, you must always remember that your wife or husband has chosen, of their own free will, to turn to someone outside of your relationship for attention. Your spouse's affair is not your fault.

Number three, you must do your level best to gather as much information about your spouse's possible unfaithful behavior before you come to a conclusion as to whether or not they're actually having an affair. To catch a cheating husband or to catch a cheating wife doesn't require extensive resources. You don't have to go so far as to hire a private investigator to get to the bottom of the issue. Use your own intelligence and powers of observation to decide for yourself whether or not your husband or wife is involved in an adulterous affair.

Finally, and most importantly, you mustNOTconfront your mate until you have collected as much information as you possibly can. I have authored a powerfulFREEguide called ?ArticleID=1001" "The 7 Signs of a Cheating Spouse" which outlines the attitudes and behaviors you can look for if you suspect you have a cheating spouse.

Suspicions of infidelity can be devastating to your relationship, even if these suspicions turn out to be without merit. If you are truly concerned about your spouse's fidelity, make sure you do your best to protect yourself and your well-being by getting as much information as you can before acting on your concerns.
