If you’ve hurt your wife through betrayal, there’s one phrase you should NEVER say: “I understand.” It might seem like the right thing to say, but in reality, it can make her feel even more unheard, angry, and alone. When trust is broken, the last thing she wants is to hear that you “get it” when, in her eyes, you’ve never been in her position.
This video reveals why saying “I understand” is a relationship grenade and what to do instead. True healing comes from listening, standing under her pain, and supporting her through it—without trying to fix or minimize it. If your wife keeps escalating in conversations, you might be making this mistake without realizing it.
Want to rebuild trust the right way? Watch now to learn how to shift your approach and truly understand her pain. Healing is possible, but only if you take the right steps.
