Nobody gets married with the intention of getting a divorce, and it can be devastating to think about the end of something that you truly expected would last a lifetime. Unfortunately, we can’t always control when things or other people change, and perhaps your relationship no longer feels the same. Either you or your partner are more distant, there’s more arguing and contempt, or perhaps they have engaged in behaviors that push your boundaries or are disrespectful in nature. 

After a divorce, it’s only natural for folks to want to jump back into the dating pool once they feel up for it. Even less surprising, it’s not uncommon for divorced individuals to remarry and give the idea of ever-lasting love another chance. 

Finding out that your spouse or partner is cheating on you can be devastating. The severity of the betrayal at the hands of your partner can be highly traumatic. Unfortunately, finding out about any infidelity is just the beginning of a long process for many who are looking to leave their unfaithful spouse. 

Generally, most marriages in the U. S. are monogamous and traditionally people are expected to be faithful to their spouse for the long run. This tradition is embedded into the legal system in many states, where cheating on your spouse can actually carry legal ramifications.
