[Infidelity Therapy] Self-delusion Part 2 : The victimized wife


When husband infidelity is discovered by the wife, the wife develops post traumatic stress. Post traumatic stress causes her to feel that her whole life has collapsed including relationships with the husband and children and to experience excruciating pain and the sense of betrayal. 

When the wife expresses her wounds outwardly toward the husband, the husband perceives this as great stress and aggravates his condition of relationship addiction or intermittent explosive disorder. In this process, her post traumatic stress also deteriorates and the wife ends up destroying herself and her family. 

The wife may develop the delusion that she can restore marriage and family if she acts nicely to her husband and the husband comes back to her, which only aggravates the situation. When the wife feels comfortable by her husband making efforts and being nice to her, she is considered to have developed an advanced condition of psychological disorder. When she thinks that she has overcome her pain and enjoy her life having fun and pleasure, her condition is considered to have deteriorated even further. 

Many wives believe that they have recovered when they feel comfortable after experiencing pain for some time. However, it only indicates that their condition has advanced further.

The wife may mistake getting immersed into her husband, her work, religion, hobbies, sports, or sex and living a pleasurable life for happiness. This phenomenon occurs when post traumatic stress progresses into a psychological disorder, which is an even more dangerous condition than post traumatic stress.

The husband cannot be given an opportunity to treat his relationship addiction when the wife does not treat her post traumatic stress. The only person who can give the husband an opportunity to treat relationship addiction is the wife who has cured her post traumatic stress. A married couple who think they have a good marriage relationship even after they experience spouse infidelity without treating their conditions properly is like a time bomb that could explode any moment. Both of them collapse at one blow when the wife's hysteria and the husband's intermittent explosive disorder manifest themselves one day. 

Sadly enough, most wives believe that their husbands will cure their condition by being nice to them, and they don't make efforts to treat their condition in the right way. Not many people understand that the husband in infidelity has developed perception disorder and expression disorder simultaneously. He may comply with the wife to avoid stress for now, but he has no capability to treat the wife's condition at all. It is important for the victimized wife to realize that it is only herself who can treat her post traumatic stress, protect her family, and build happiness again.
