If you have accused your spouse of cheating and it turns out that you were wrong then the first thing to do is to breath a sigh of relief!

The second thing to do is to apologize. Believing that your spouse has cheated on you can be extremely painful, but being accused of cheating when you are innocent can be devastating also.

The third thing to do is to consider why you thought that they were cheating. Could it be that they genuinely gave you cause for concern because of thoughtless behavior? Or could it be that your spouse is beyond recrimination and that you are suffering from insecurity?

If you are not insecure generally but felt sure that your spouse was cheating due to certain unusual behavior then it is time to discuss this with your spouse so that they understand why you accused them in the first place and to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

If your spouse has been staying out later than usual on a regular basis, keeping secrets, or behaving strangely then it will have been normal for you to have been concerned as to why this was happening. Getting to the bottom of this can help to dispel confusion and to re-open the gates of communication for the future.

However, if your spouses behavior has not been untoward in any way then it could be that you are suffering from a low self esteem which has surfaced by way of making you unnecessarily suspicious and perhaps even jealous and possessive.

Talking this over with your spouse can help them to help you with this problem. If they are unaware of what is going on for you personally then they cannot help you to overcome difficulties.

Good communication where you both take the time to talk over your feelings can heal any possible hurt that has come out of this event and make make you even closer than you were before.
