Upon discovering your partner’s serial infidelity many partners experience acute stress, anxiety and PTSD related symptoms. These symptoms often show up as:
- Frequent mood changes, extreme emotional reactions, constant weeping alternating with rage
- Hypervigiliant behaviors such as checking phone records, credit cards, computers, bills, text messages etc. They often say, “I have become an amazing detective”
- Depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, insomnia, nightmares
- Vindictive (spending large amounts of money, openly dating)
- Overcompensating by losing weight, dressing provocatively
- Escaping into drugs, alcohol or food
