Rapini, who practices in Houston, says that approximately two-third of her clients, who are coping after an infidelity, stay together. They seek therapy and get down to the root of the problem. She says that the “once a cheater, always a cheater” logic isn’t always correct.
In this video, Rapini and I discuss how people recover after losing a relationship because of infidelity.
