Infidelity Carries On without Counseling
Darby had known about Sebie’s infidelity many years ago, when they were first married. For the past decade of their marriage, she had been living and acting as a loving wife, however the bitterness that she felt due to Sebie’s prior transgressions had been slowly growing. Darby had found in herself an inability to let go of the memory of her husband’s infidelity but was also unable to let it go and move on. Sebie, for his part, had been living with the guilt of his past actions for years and was searching for a way to get past the cycle of guilt and mistrust that had built up between them.
Infidelity, though years prior, had grown into a major obstacle right in the heart of their marriage.
Sebie said:
I know that I made a horrible mistake. Even though it was years ago, it was an emotional betrayal and I can’t really blame Darby for not being able to forget it. I know the mistrust and anger that I caused, but I feel the need to move on. I’m not that same person anymore, and I don’t want to spend the rest of my life being punished as that person.
The marriage counselor had some work cut out for him, but he was able to see the depth and complexity of this marital problem, and help Darby and Sebie understand where they could each benefit personal, individual counseling first, and then in conjunction with Marriage Counseling in order to work together.
