Relationship: Is your partner cheating on you? Here's what you can do

At least once in our lives, we all have doubted our partners to be cheating on us. While most of the time it turns out to be wrong and a result of our over-thinking, sometimes the nightmare turns out to be a reality. With the world, shattering into pieces, tears rolling down our cheeks, and a dying trust, we are often left confused as to what went wrong and how we should react to it.

The answer is simple. The relationship is over. No matter how many apologies your partner has to offer, it's time for you to pick yourself off and not fall for the lies again. Remember, once a cheater, always a cheater.

So, if you have found out your partner is cheating on you, here are a few things to do.

Confront them

A mistake that most of us make is to walk away in silence and cry to ourselves. While this seems to be the best option, more so because not many have the courage to confront their partners who decided to cheat, this is a big no-no. It is always advisable to confront your partner about why he decided to cheat. Ask as many questions as you want and seek answers. If you're not doing this, you are killing yourself from inside. Also, if you don't confront and suffer in silence this will only affect you and not your partner.

Break your ties

Unless you know that it's a genuine mistake, in one of those rare cases, you shouldn't be sticking on to the same partner. It's time for you to move out of the relationship and break your ties. No matter how many explanations your partner has for it, cheating is unacceptable in a relationship. If you ever find yourself confused as to whether you are making the right decision, just switch positions with your partner and imagine how would they have reacted to it. This would clear all your self-doubts. Also, remember, there's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself, because if you won't who else will do.

Heal yourself

The healing journey may be an extremely tough one but it's essential for you to go on one. If you don't, you will continue to suffer, cry all over and regret. Hence, go on a small vacation, don't blame yourself unnecessarily, and tell yourself everything happens for a reason. While it can be a tough phase to be in, you have to gather courage and do it anyway. However, during this journey don't end up talking to your partner, this will make things worse for you. Do what you like, take your time to heal, and come back stronger.
