Call if you’re going to be late
Be open with your correspondences
Tell them about your day
Keep your phone turned on at all times
Surprise your spouse with phone calls

Call if you’re going to be late

Encourage your husband to call when they’re going to be late. Make sure your husband let’s you know where they are and when you expect to be home. This might seem like a little thing but it’s very important when you’re trying to rebuild trust. As someone who was cheated on, the last thing you need is to have your imagination get the better of you considering that your husband lied to you in the past.

Be open with your electronic correspondences

Have your husband be open with you concerning their electronic correspondences. Have them give you access to their Facebook account and text messages and check them regularly. If you find that they resist this, then they are not emotionally ready to be trusted yet. Since they cheated on you there needs to be more give and take on their end.

Tell them about your day

Talk to your husband about your day. Tell them about the projects on your desk at work and how they’re all coming along. Talk about stories that were shared around the water cooler or lunch room. You don’t need to share every detail, but it’s a known fact that sharing your day with your husband helps to rebuild trust in a relationship.

Keep your phone on you and turned on at all times

Ask your husband to keep their phone on them and turned on as much as possible and make it easy for you to contact them. This will enable you to contact you whenever you need to and put your fears to rest if you think they might be hiding something.

Surprise your spouse with phone calls

Another great way to rebuild trust in your relationship is to have your husband randomly call you throughout the day. Ask him to call you if he’s got a minute at work to let you know he’s thinking of you and that he loves you. This is a great way to be romantic and lets you know that you are important to him.

These 5 tips are just the start of rebuilding the honesty and trust in your marriage. Share, don’t smother. It will take work, patience and understanding to fully rebuild the trust that was broken.

I Know how hard it can be to try and put the pieces of your shattered life back together after your husband cheated, but, it’s actually more common than you might think to rebound from an affair and trust your husband again.
