The impact of infidelity varies among couples from "summary" of The State of Affairs by Esther Perel

Infidelity is a complex and multifaceted issue that can have a significant impact on the dynamics of a relationship. However, the way in which infidelity affects a couple is not universal; it varies greatly among different pairs. The reaction to infidelity is influenced by a multitude of factors, including the personalities of the individuals involved, the history of their relationship, and their cultural and societal values. For some couples, infidelity can be a devastating blow that shatters trust and undermines the very foundation of their partnership. The discovery of a partner's affair can stir up intense feelings of betrayal, anger, and hurt, leading to a breakdown in communication and emotional distance between the two individuals. In these cases, the impact of infidelity is profound and long-lasting, often requiring significant time and effort to rebuild the relationship. On the other hand, some couples are able to navigate the aftermath of infidelity with greater resilience and understanding. They may view the affair as a wake-up call that prompts them to reevaluate their relationship and address underlying issues that may have contributed to the infidelity. In these cases, infidelity can serve as a catalyst for growth and change, leading to a deeper level of intimacy and connection between partners.
