The method used in this research is phenomenology with data collection techniques through observation and in-depth interview processes. The results showed the subject’s process of knowing the couple’s affair, the subject’s reaction to knowing the partner’s affair, re-trust their partner, and the subject’s process of re-trusting a partner who had an affair. The conclusion obtained from the results of this study is that the process of re-trust is not an easy thing to do by the victims.
