Trust is the basis that all happy marriages are based on, it is the foundation on which all other areas of a healthy marriage start from. Once broken, a lack of trust can quickly tear apart your marriage. Trusting after infidelity could seem like an impossible task right now, but finding a way to trust your husband again is something you might need to do.

"Should I trust my husband again?" A query that every wife asks when atempting to patch up their marriage after an affair. Trust is something that is earned over time, so it's important to appreciate that you might never regain that trust unless your husband is ready to help you in every way they can. Your husband must be willing to assume full accountability for his infidelity, and empathize the deep-seated emotional distress he has caused you. He also has to accept that you are still in pain and admit that he has a duty for helping you overcome the injury he has done.

The only way to rebuild trust after an affair is if you mutually commit to repairing your marriage. A pact must be made where both of you guarantee to do everything possible to overcome the affair. The seeds of trust will only start to grow when your husband has apologized for his actions, and you sense that he genuinely understands the pain and heartbreak he has caused. Trying to coerce an apology or press him for information about the affair will only frustrate you, and only cause your husband to become self-protective. Discussing will come at a later date, and more naturally, as trust starts to grow. When you have both pledged commitment to your marriage, permit your husband to express his request for forgiveness in his own way, it will mean so much more, and you may be more receptive to accepting.

If you are both devoted to repairing your marriage, your husband will apologise in his own way, when he does, this will mean a great deal more to you, and you will be more willing to give a positive response. Don't try and make yourself to receive the apology, this will happen in time as the bond between you and your husband develops. You may well not accept his apology at first, but over time, if he is fully commited to repairing the trust in your marriage, you may start to slowly open your heart to the possibility that there can be a future for your marriage.
