Capital T, in the "Ze me Miran" podcast, said that he considers betrayal the greatest honor that someone has given him for many reasons. The statement may seem a little strange, but, in fact, it holds. Does betrayal have some positive sides? Yes.
1. Open your eyes
When you're in love, it's easy to see the good and ignore the bad. Once you find out you've been cheated on, it makes you take a hard look at the relationship. Little problems you've been ignoring come to light. You can use this knowledge to make positive changes in your relationship (if you choose to forgive) or to acknowledge and communicate issues in future relationships.
2. It changes you
You may feel temporarily disappointed, like you will no longer have trust or love, but eventually those feelings will change. You will trust and love again, but this time you will have more wisdom and experience. You'll know how to tick off what you like and what you don't tolerate.
3. It makes you even more grateful
Many of us go through tough times in some bad relationships and go through devastating breakups before we find the right person. You can only truly know the good if you also understand the bad.
4. It can make your relationship stronger
Betrayal is not always the end of the world. Sometimes people make mistakes and those mistakes bring them closer. Sometimes it takes the threat of losing something to make you realize how much you love it. Many couples have survived infidelity, made their relationship work again, and become stronger than ever in the process.
5. It leads to something better
"I'm glad I cheated, because otherwise I wouldn't have met my true love," one might say. Of course betrayal is a painful thing, but know that there are good things on the horizon.
