Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital city of beautiful Scotland, with a population of over 543,000. More than 75% of Edinburgh’s buildings are listed and it boasts 112 parks. The largest arts festival in the world, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, is hosted here each year. The city’s wonderful architecture and history inspired J K Rowling’s Harry Potter books with much of the movies being filmed here. The humble Jaffa Cake was also invented here in 1927!

Are you getting divorced because of Infidelity?
Infidelity in a marriage is possibly the single most damaging thing for a relationship and often leads to divorce. There are varying statistics, but it’s widely reported that 60% of Men and 40% of Women will participate in an affair within their marriage at some point. These statistics probably mean nothing if you are going through this right now as you attempt to deal with a whole variety of emotions such as feeling angry and betrayed and are left wondering why this happened to you. The biggest question people ask is in fact “why?” If their partner can’t give an honest reply, this can leave the victim confused and troubled for a very long time.
Adultery is often one of the main reasons for divorce. It may just be a one-off fling, or a lasting relationship which itself turns into marriage, but either will have a lasting impact on a marriage. Sometimes the affair is just an emotional one, but it can be equally as damaging.
Affairs: Is divorce the answer?
Couples dealing with an affair don’t always end up in the divorce courts. Some find it inside themselves to try and work through their emotions with a relationship coach or other therapist. It is not always the infidelity itself which leads to the divorce, but what happens when the “secret” is out. How the parties behave in the aftermath can be the most damaging. It all boils down to the reason behind why one party needed another intimate relationship in their life. Discovering the cause can sometimes lead to a couple becoming stronger together. It is possible to fix broken hearts if both parties really want to try.
