Sometimes, it can be hard to know what you should consider acceptable or normal behavior and long-term relationships. When you have invested years of your life in a person, it can be really easy to overlook or excuse their behavior even if it makes you unhappy with your partner.

Being able to find proper balance of communication is for starters taking out time for each other to open up an address issues and not necessarily playing the blame game.   Finding a way to spend time with each other no matter what and also breaking out of  “constant conversation” of the routine: 24 /7 Job, home, work, life, children etc.  Just finding a peaceful way to talk about things and long-term goals that you and your loved one would like to accomplish with each other,  also bringing up certain things that you love about each other that helps you get through your day that makes you happy and complete. Work on finding a way to grow a connection with each other again in seeing a new light in each others eyes with your significant other which will be beneficial in the long run and will help you avoid a lot of future obstacles that long-term relationships deal with and this is in regards to becoming unfaithful  to your partner and cheating.

Of course every good relationship new or old comes to this crossroads every now and then and too often  it’s not something that is easy to deal with however it is not something that is impossible to overcome. Forgiveness is key that’s the first step to finding a way to address the issues together and not necessarily leaving it all on one person to deal with. If a mistake has been made and your loved one is still a part of your life, then there is a great chance  that  you’ll be able to work it and actually reach a new potential height in your relationship.  When your lover feels alone and unsupported for long periods of time,  feeling as  if  there’s  is nothing satisfying in their relationship this is the type of  life choices and behavior that  does begin uncertainties and unfaithfulness.

If all else has failed in regards to this hurtful matter,  it’s also important to remember and not forget what else you have at stake this can be children, family, friends, memories, and time.  Time does heal everything.  We must use our heart in all of these matters not to forget to care for our selves and care for others in all of these processes. It’s easier to get consumed and to lose sight of yourself. What is important for your future when the cards have dealt this type of situation finding love in all of these matters. It is easier said than done!  Finding patience and forgiveness trusting your intuition and your instincts.

One of my favorite quotes in life that I continuously go back-and-forth to remind myself  what the definition of love is and what is important in life is.  1 Corinthians 13:4-8 it is a part of most marriage vows at  weddings and probably one of the most strongest forms of a written definition of love.
