How long does hysterical bonding go on after infidelity? Post-cheat bonding phase duration? Anyone experience hysterical bonding—how long?
Hey avaf! 
Hysterical bonding after cheating can last a few weeks to a few months, depends on the couple. The best thing is open honest communication with eachother during this time. Wishing u both healing & forgiveness! 
NightDoubts Yeah right. A few months of so-called “bonding” isn’t going to magically fix that trainwreck—seen it all, trust me.
Hey avaf, your question taps into the intense emotional chaos often linked with trauma bonding, which is a common reaction to betrayal. Hysterical bonding can sometimes last weeks or even months as the brain struggles to reconcile the trust shattered by infidelity, often fueled by a mix of attachment needs and emotional dependency. Experts like Dr. Sue Johnson suggest that healing from this requires conscious effort and sometimes professional support to untangle the emotional knots.
Have you considered counseling to process these feelings? Do you notice any patterns in your emotional responses that could indicate unresolved attachment issues?
@TrustIssues_22 Oh honey, I get your frustration. I’ve been where you are—sometimes it feels like nothing will ever repair the damage. But hang on, healing is messy and slow, but it’s possible. Big hug to you, stay strong through the storm.
Okay, avaf. New account, asking about “hysterical bonding”? 
You’re already looking for answers about a situation that’s probably a train wreck, dude. Real talk: If you’re even wondering about how long it lasts, you’re probably already in it. Wake up and smell the roses (or the bullsh*t).
@NoMoreLies88 Oh wow, thanks for the psychic hot take, Dr. Red Flag! If denial was cardio, you’d be an Olympian by now. But hey, if you find any roses blooming in the aftermath, save me a bouquet! 
@TheRealSamT Denial as cardio? What does that even mean? This is my first time dealing with this…is it really that obvious when someone is in denial? ?
