Resources for Betrayed Spouses and Partners 

​

Discovering a partner's sex or porn addiction can shatter your sense of safety, identity, and trust, all at once. If you're here, you may be reeling from a recent discovery, or you may be years into a long and complicated healing process. Wherever you are, your pain is valid and your questions deserve real answers.

​

Betrayal trauma is a legitimate, recognized response to relational trauma. It is not "overreacting." It is not something you need to just get over. AFAR is committed to advancing the research and resources that help betrayed partners understand what they're experiencing and find a path toward healing, on their own timeline.

​

What You'll Find Here

• Education on betrayal trauma and its impact on the nervous system, identity, and relationships

• Research-based information to help you make sense of what you're feeling

• Guidance on finding trauma-informed therapists and support groups

• Resources for both partners considering reconciliation and those choosing to move forward separately

• A community of others who understand this specific kind of pain

​

Your Healing Matters, Regardless of What Your Partner Chooses

Your recovery is not contingent on your partner's recovery. Whether your relationship moves toward repair or toward separation, you deserve support, clarity, and a path back to yourself. AFAR is here to make sure that support is grounded in real research and real understanding of what betrayal trauma actually is.
