Скачать или смотреть He Cheated--Now What? How Gay Men Heal From Infidelity

Just been cheated on? Whether it was a one-night stand or a full-on affair, this kind of betrayal can leave you reeling. As a gay men’s therapist, I want to share some essential steps to help you process what happened and begin healing.

Here are my tips for gay men who have been cheated on:

1. Acknowledge What Happened.
Get clear on your truth. Writing it down can help you process the experience—how you found out, what exactly you discovered, and most importantly, how it made you feel. Don’t minimize it.

2. Seek Validation.
After betrayal, confusion is common. You may question your perception, wondering: Am I overreacting? Am I crazy? This is when you need witnesses—friends or loved ones who can support your truth and remind you that your feelings are valid.

3. Ground Yourself.
In crisis, the goal is calm—not chaos. Avoid making major life changes. Instead, return to stabilizing routines: exercise, meditation, nourishing meals. Focus on what supports your nervous system and overall well-being.

4. Look Inward—Not to Blame, but to Understand.
This isn’t about self-blame. It’s about reflection. What can this relationship teach you? Were there red flags you ignored? Was this person truly good for you? Doing an emotional “autopsy” with the help of a therapist can lead to powerful insight and growth. A positive reframe is to consider that this may be an opportunity to actually learn about yourself.

Most importantly: You will recover.This isn’t your fault. You’re not responsible for someone else’s betrayal. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
