Preparing to Confront Your Spouse After InfidelityHalimbawa

Anticipate Your Husband’s Response

Your husband’s response to your specific requests will determine what you do next. The purpose of anticipating his response is to help you avoid being shocked and losing your composure. If you get rattled at this point, you might not be able to go any further.

Three possible ways your husband will respond when you confront him:

· Possibility 1: He will show interest in more fully understanding your felt concerns, express sorrow for his actions, and demonstrate a desire or willingness to get help.

· Possibility 2: He will vacillate, make excuses, or back away from any definite course of action.

· Possibility 3: He will flat-out deny that he has a problem and will refuse to cooperate in any way.

These possibilities will come into play in the next section when you actually see and hear your husband’s response.
