The Naked Truth | What to do if you discover your partner has a lover, especially if they are a mutual friend
- If you find out your partner has been unfaithful, it’s hard to know what to do: confront their lover, try to break them up or accept them
- Relationship expert Valentina Tudose advises weighing up the potential benefits and risks to your emotional health and well-being before acting
Discovering that your partner has a lover can be emotionally challenging and put you in an extremely difficult situation. This becomes even harder to manage if the person in question is a part of your social circle.
It is crucial to approach this situation with care and consider the best course of action for your own well-being.
While I am aware of a case where a wife hired the mistress to work alongside her to closely monitor her daily activities, it is important to note that such an approach can be considered extreme.
Deciding whether to get in touch with your partner’s lover is a personal choice that depends on various factors and individual circumstances.
Before reaching out, it is vital to contemplate how contacting the lover might affect your emotional well-being. Will it provide you with closure, or exacerbate feelings of anger, resentment, or hurt?
Take a moment to consider whether the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to your emotional health.
