Dr. Shane Perrault, also known as “Dr. Shane” is a leading Psychologist, Author, Speaker and Founder of the African American Marriage Counseling Organization and is a highly sought after Life Coach and Speaker on issues relating to relationships, marriages and ADHD.
Dr. Shane shares his views about infidelity, what it is, why it occurs, and most importantly what happens after an affair is revealed. He talks about the three stages the hurt partner will experience after an affair is revealed.
1. Atone – Involves the reactions (emotional, physical, neurological) that will occur after learning about the affair.
2. Atune – The hurt partner reviews his or her options to stay or leave the relationship.
3. Attach – The couple reconnects to start the process of rebuilding their relationship.
Dr. Shane states that the hurt partner is the only one who should make the decision to stay or leave the relationship and the worse thing the unfaithful partner can do is try to rush the decision-making and ask them to “get over it.”
