This is where the affair has ended by some means and the cheater is in a funk.
Phase Two: The ‘I Need a Fix’ Phase – More commonly referred to as the withdrawal stage. Possibly continuation of the affair is taking place.Rewriting the history of your relationship/marriage.Excuses, rationalizations and justifications for the affair.Minimizing the affair relationship – “We’re just friends.”.When the unfaithful gets busted, most of the time they will attempt to practice the art of deception in its many dubious forms: Phase One: The ‘Tangled Web We Weave’ Phase – This phase is all about deception. Some folks will linger longer than others and some will even skip certain phases. Additionally, it’s hard to say in all cases how long each phase will last. One might experience all or none of the phases or elements within each phase and/or they may carry elements over into another phase or in a different order. Keep in mind that these phases are derived from experience – both my own and from others I talk with – and are not based on research or any psychological or therapeutic principles. I’m guessing that most of you have seen or experienced this first hand and can relate to what I’m about to share. This post will give you an idea of what sort of phases you can expect the unfaithful partner to ‘pass through’ after their affair is discovered. Regardless, this is when the post-affair-discovery metamorphosis begins.
It could have happened any number of ways an undeleted text or email, an overheard phone call or perhaps they were caught red-handed. They were stealthy in their ways and they thought they would never get caught. Up until that time he/she may have been carrying on as if nothing was going on. After an affair is discovered, in most cases a metamorphosis begins for the unfaithful spouse.
