Hussey Warns Cheating Victims Not to Do Reparation Work for Their Betrayers

What was said

"It's not your job to fix what someone else broke. The trauma of that kind of betrayal is deep for most people, extraordinarily deep. You saying 'sorry' might be an acknowledgment today, but in 6 months, it won't stop their emotional flashback."

When asked about forgiveness for cheating, Matthew Hussey said while people are capable of change, the person who cheated must do the heavy lifting of repair work including therapy and addressing their triggers. He warned against victims trying to do the work for both people, stating that without the cheater's genuine commitment to transformation, no amount of forgiveness will save the relationship.
