Today your mouth says, “I want to restore my marriage to what it once was.” Tomorrow your triggering thoughts will cause your mouth to say something different. It’s time you learn to control your triggering thoughts and intense emotional responses.
Stop allowing your triggering thoughts of him cheating, control your life’s direction. It’s time you manage your triggers and take back control of your life.
If every time your spouse looks at their cell phone triggers thoughts of cheating and memories of the affair, you don’t need to be focusing on repairing your marriage right now, you need to be focusing on managing your triggers.
You decided to let him stay after his affair to provide some normalcy for your children in the mist of all the chaos.
But is it really normalcy if he’s still lying, disrespecting you, and creeping around with the other woman?
What lies are you telling yourself?
Sis, Just because your husband said he won’t cheat again and wants to work on his marriage doesn’t mean when you take him back that everything will automatically be OK and your marriage will go back to the way it was.
Sis the trauma of his affair can change you into a completely different woman. Pretending your way through life, can’t work, can’t function, gaining, losing a ton of weight. Check yourself! Who are you today, who do you want to be, and what are willing to do to become that woman?
Making a decision to stay after his affair doesn’t mean you live in misery walking on eggshells, trying to be on your best behavior. It’s time you do the work that’s required to make a well-informed decision so you have a clear picture on how to move forward with a peace of mind
Sis, Not every affair type is repairable, if you’re dealing with an affair type that’s not repairable STOP wasting your time, energy, and money on trying to save a marriage that’s damaging your mind, body, and spirit give yourself grace and forgiveness and move forward
Until you learn how to get a hold of your triggers and learn to control them, they will continue to have a hold on you and control your mind, body, and spirit.
