The One Thing You can do to Heal Your Relationship After Affair

You may have noticed that not feeling appreciated was a big issue for both of you before or during the affair. This is common and particularly bothersome to many couples. Our culture encourages boys from a young age to focus on their actions, what they do. When we meet a man for the first time, one of the first things we say is “Hello, nice to meet you; what do you do?” which sounds as if we are more interested in a man’s accomplishments than who he is. Raised to focus on how they do in sports, business, career, and finance, men take very personally their partners’ criticism that they aren’t doing something well or right. Appreciation means being recognized for being successful not only in their lives but also in their roles in the world.
