Nine main themes were identified: (a) stance on infidelity, (b) sharing with others, (c) reasons to stay, (d) apology, (e) social support, (f) sexual intimacy expectations, (g) rebuilding trust, (h) therapy, and (i) other resources.

This study aimed to investigate this link to better understand the factors that might hinder unforgiveness after relational transgressions. It was hypothesized that perceived partner responsiveness would be negatively associated with unforgiveness. Data were collected from 275 couples in which partners reported having experienced a relational transgression, using self-report questionnaires.
