Linda feels Dave isn't there for her.
Dave believes Linda doesn't have time for him any more.
Unfortunately, this scenario is all too familiar.
If one of the parties has already written it off, then there isn't much the other one can do on their own.
This will not fix anything.
Save your relationship by first getting an agreement from both people that it is worth saving.
Secondly, try to identify the real problems in the relationship.
Probe deep to find the root cause of the real problem in order to have any chance of saving the relationship.
The reality is the affair was only the symptom.
Lack of intimacy can be the real problem which lead to the affair.
For example, using guilt trips and getting promises from the party that had the affair may prevent another one.
This is why it is so important to identify the real problem and deal with it.
Now you have found the core problem, it is time to talk openly about your thoughts with each other.
It must be done in a caring and supportive manner.
This will tell them you care and want to save what you have and avoid a break up.
You both will probably be experiencing a range of feelings.
They are not trying to hurt you on purpose.
Now you have uncovered the core problems, it is time for a plan of action.
For example, if lack of communication was found to be the real problem then agree to spend 30 minutes just talking with each other at a set time every evening.
If the issue was no time together then set a date night every week.
Just make sure you stick to the plan you both agreed to.
Sometimes it may seem to be too slow in coming right.
There will be fun times as well.
