Is it possible to truly heal and trust again after profound betrayal? I want to believe that it is possible...

No. I've seen podcasts claiming that you can. But I don't believe you can. Because trust can't be repaired. And even if later in therapy you realise that the relationship had slipped/got worse, and you take some responsibility for your part in that. For me the fact the other person actually decided to cheat, is just a line that I think you shouldn't go, shouldn't cross, nothing excuses it. And no I couldn't trust again. And I wouldn't want to live like that. Knowing that the person has different morals to me.
