[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any therapist worth their salt will urge you to come clean with your spouse and end the affair.

But I agree, you can’t really benefit from therapy when you’re hiding such a massive secret from your therapist. You’re not tackling the underlying issues.[/quote]

You think? I've been married for 20 years and in and out of therapy... no affair issues on either side whatsoever, but I would be surprised if this were the case.[/quote]

Yeah this sounds more like wishful thinking from someone who either knows she’s been cheated on or is sure her DH would never cheat.

A therapist will ask you to be honest with yourself  and consider why you’re cheating, and if it’s really healthy for you to continue multiple relationships and all the hiding and lying that comes with cheating. If you want to come clean, they can help you come up with a plan to do so, and to help you exit relationships you don’t want to be in. Their job isn’t to make moral judgments about your lifestyle and to help you clear your conscience by hurting others. A good therapist won’t tell you to always tell the truth about every aspect of life without exceptions. [/quote]
