Affairs are a Destructor of Marriage
When a good marriage has gone bad due to an affair, it can ruin the lives of both persons involved. Even when you are in the best marriage, one that is based on love and trust, things can go very wrong. It is completely up to the two partners whether they want to save the relationship or not. It is expecially troubling when one of the partners suffers from a personality or mood disorder, which is what we are going to discuss.
People that have personality disorders have a hard time mantaining relationships. It is not uncommon for them to go from one relationship to another, never being completely happy in any of them. People with these disorders are programmed differently than the general public. They often need to be on a series of medicines and counseling. You need to consult a licensed mental healthcare professional and not do your own diagnosis before making any kind of major decision, but we will discuss some of the signs that there may be trouble on the horizon.
Have you noticed that your partner may be a compulsive liar? Has it gone from telling little so called white lies when you first started dating, to really big lies now that you are married? If everything that comes out of your spouses mouth is a lie, you could have really big problems. This is a tall tale sign that your spouse may have a personality disorder. If you ever do have problems, such if you suspect your spouse is having an affiar, you may never get what actually happened or the truth, so you may as well forget about that.
Have you noticed that your spouse or signifcant other displays no concern and has general apathy towards you and your problems? Are you chalking it up to “it’s because we have been married so long” or “he or she is just tired”. If it is lasting longer than several weeks, then you probably have a problem, it would be wise to attend to it now.
If your spouse also shows no remorse for anything that they do or absolutely not guilt at all, then you may have a problem. Has he or she done something and you sense that they just do not feel the guilt that you think they should feel? Go with your gut instinct and look further into what is going on. If they have no remorse or otherwise does not show compassion, then it is important that you look into matters.
People with personality disorders are able to hold down successful relationships. However, the underlying problems still need to be addressed. If you suspect that your partner is cheating, keep in mind the possibility of the underlying problem which may be a personality or mood disorder. This could tremendously effect the outcome of the situation. Be aware what is going on with your partner and do you homework if you suspect that there is something going on. You do have options, be sure to explore everything and keep your mind open.
