How do you move past betrayal and trust again?

This story originally aired on December 2, 2016

After seven years of marriage, Denis' wife cheated on him for over a year... with his brother.

"The first thing any of the recovery experts say is to cut off all contact with the affair partner if you want to have a chance to work things out, so that made things extremely difficult." 

Denis, a self described peacemaker, just wanted to move on and figured things would be ok. That feeling didn't last long and he soon knew something had to change. 

Denis credits plenty of counseling, therapy and a Healing from Affairs weekend seminar with giving him a road map for how to move forward and get everything out in the open.

He managed to move past the hurt and learn to trust his wife and their marriage again. But it wasn't easy. They had to start their life over again in a new province. His relationship with his family remains complicated but Denis says his marriage is better than ever. 

"I've fully forgiven her. Our marriage really, honestly, is better than it's ever been. It's fulfilling and it's rich in friendship and in every area, every aspect. I thought we had a good marriage before and I realize how diminished our relationship used to be."
