Cupid’s Advice:
At some point, we all face accusations.

It’s normal to feel doubt, but ultimately faith in our partners will carry us through these tough times. Read below for more relationship advice to get you through expected tensions:
1. Be gentle with the wounds:Â Your partner is probably having a lot of doubts. Facing accusations makes someone feel insecure in their current situations. Don’t push these wounds.
