We ask a couples therapist how to repair a broken relationship after an affair (plus the one 'golden rule' for parents)

An unhappy couple sat in a bedroom facing away from each other.

Mending a relationship after cheating isn’t always possible, but sometimes it’s worth a try. We speak to a couples therapist about what you can do to try and save your relationship after infidelity.

Humans are complex beings, and as such relationships are not always easy - when one half of you cheats it’s a foregone conclusion that it's over. Or at least this is what Hollywood would have you believe is the done thing. In real life, navigating infidelity in relationships is much more nuanced - especially if you have kids, and while divorce after a baby is much more common than many realise it's normally down to managing the mental load, not cheating.
