A professional infidelity coach has shared how women can overcome the trauma of being cheated on — even if they choose to stay with their partner.
Annabelle Taylor, 33, offers tailored advice and online sessions based on what support her clients need and runs a free online community forum where women can share their experiences.
She started her business after her husband admitted he had an affair in 2019 after a series of other betrayals.
Annabelle chose to stay with her husband and began coaching others once she became more comfortable healing herself.

“When I cheated on my husband three years ago, it changed my whole life,” said Annabelle, from Portland, Oregon, USA.
“I just want to speak more and more about my experience now that I’m more comfortable with my healing and my life.
“I wanted to be able to reach out and help people and felt like I had no way to do that, so I started TikTok in April.”
Annabelle frequently shares advice across social media channels, with some of her videos getting over 40,000 views.
“Then I wanted to help people more individually, so I did a coaching certification in August and now I serve clients from all over the world,” she says.

When her clients choose to remain in their partnership, Annabelle encourages them to follow a few steps to ensure they heal appropriately.
This includes listening to your body, making space when you need it, being open with your partner about infidelity on a daily basis, and giving them space to explore why they may have been cheated on.
“There’s a lot of shame associated with people staying with their partner after they’ve been cheated on. They need to unpack their own confusion on top of what society is pressuring them to do,” she said.
“I hold space for people who are coping with the fallout of a major life event, whether they’re gone, undecided, or have decided to stay with their partner.”
