Tell your partner how witnessing his or her pain makes you feel. Let your spouse know that you are sad, disappointed, guilty, scared and regretful. Your partner needs to see and hear that you are affected; that you feel enough pain and remorse to avoid repeating the hurtful action.

Few therapists, even those trained in marriage therapy, arecomfortable talking about sex and intimacy with their clients, according toPsychology Today.
