The most important part is to see the real life, to understand the wrongs done, and to try to save marriage. Understand that breaking up is not an absolute for you. All meeting with your affair partner must end immediately without any exceptions. In the extreme situation, you may have to change even your job if you are sharing your workplace with him/her. Also consider moving to a different town. Keep in mind that you have to terminate any links to that person. Do not attempt to contact him or her again.
Going through hard times in relationship is not impossible if you are prepared to go over all the steps. But a healthy, life-giving, life-enriching marriage is worth it.
Do not revert to an affair through contact with the other person. What it takes to recover from an affair is to break it off completely. Ask a same-sex friend to contact the other person in the affair and tell them that you will not call, write, email, or see the other person involved in the affair again, ever. Have your friend become your accountability partner to help you through this.
Therapists with expertise resolving such issues will be helpful to recover your trustworthiness, communication, and power of marriage. This will help you to determine weaknesses that caused the problem and let you know how to avoid them. Contact a therapist that has experience in this field in order to avoid unpleasant consequences of unprofessional counseling. Infidelity is a pain like no other and should be treated by a specialist.
Be completely open to the harmed party because it is crucial in restoring trust. It is the most important step in building your broken marriage. Reassure your mate that you are open and trustworthy. Work to be visibly trustworthy during this time. You mate has lost all trust in you so be transparent in your actions and motives so that your mate knows you really are who you say you are - a loving, trustworthy spouse.
After infidelity, you should be prepared to "report in" when you will be late from work, to give your spouse your email passwords if they ask you for them. I recommend that you change your email, dropping the email account name you used with the one with whom you had the affair, so they may no longer reach you. Be prepared and wiling to answer all the questions your spouse asks of you-be transparent.
You should be held accountable for your misbehavior. Try to avoid making pretexts. Claiming that you feel stupid about it and encouraging you partner to live with it are signs of irresponsibility. This may be understood as a sign of yet another such problem in the future. This is a painful process and recovery can take a while. Conservative estimates say at least 18 months before life returns to a more-or-less normal state.
Most importantly to get over this difficult time, you'll need to provide a protection shield for your hurting mate in every possible direction. Step up to the plate and start changing into a trustworthy person, with a loving and unselfish personality and deep sense of fairness. Saving your marriage is generally a very, even undeniably worthwhile goal, but it will take hard work and dedication.
