Having a partner cheat on you can be devastating. That type of hurt and betrayal can take some time to recover your feeling of safety and trust in the relationship. The good news is that for some partners being cheated on may actually make you stronger and can increase your likelihood of finding a more suitable partner or even create a stronger relationship with your current partner.

When women return to the dating scene, they are more able to pick out subtle cues that may indicate the partner they are considering is a good choice. Research also suggests women recovering from a cheating experience can in other aspects of their lives as well.
If, on the other hand, you’re the “other woman” the future may not be so bright. In the long term, people who demonstrate infidelity may be likely to cheat again, and that relationship may be founded on deception as well. You may have to work a little harder to create a relationship that is, at it’s core, strong and steadfast.
