A psychotherapist explains that even a serious relationship crisis need not spell the end — it can become a catalyst for addressing accumulated problems. Couples often struggle not with infidelity but with the slow erosion of daily life and poor communication. Facing those difficulties, however painful, can be the path to healing the relationship.
