1. Do not blame yourself
It is not your fault why the partner did not know how to communicate his needs. You are not responsible, you have not 'deserved' something like that, but that does not mean you should not try anymore.
2. Do not ignore betrayal
Do not act as if nothing has happened, otherwise you will not be able to discover the problems that lie at the core of your relationship and those that have led your partner to infidelity. There are certainly times when people cheat only for sex, but for the most part, betrayal comes as an attempt by the partner to highlight relationship problems. Trying to understand these problems, accept them and discuss them, the chances of another betrayal occurring are very slim. Things should not return as before, work to create a new, strong and fulfilling relationship for both.
3. Do not take revenge
It may make you feel better at the moment, but it will not solve anything. In the end you will not be happier and we can guarantee you that. All you have to do is cooperate to be 'on the same line' again.
4. Do not mention betrayal to win arguments
The fact that he has betrayed you does not entitle you to use him as a card to get out of debates. "Well at least I did not betray you!" at the end of each sentence, he would choose nothing but make the situation more tedious.
5. Do not speed up the healing process
Take all the time you need to chew on what happened and let your partner know. You will ask a lot of questions and it is normal, you will hear the same answers a few times, but that is all part of the healing process. If your partner is tired of this situation, then maybe it's time to end it.
