Rebuilding trust after infidelity is a difficult process, but it can be done with commitment and hard work. First, it is important to both recognize and take responsibility for how the transgression impacted your significant other. Talk openly about why you both made the choices you did and how those choices impacted the relationship going forward. Setting clear boundaries based upon communication and trust can help create a solid foundation of mutual respect.
Engage in couples’ counseling or an individual therapeutic journey as appropriate, so that there can be increased understanding of triggers leading up to infidelity and reframe destructive behaviors into more healthy habits within the relationship. 
Spending time alone rebuilding self-confidence can facilitate deeper bonds within couples by focusing on individuals first – not necessarily fixing all past issues first, but creating a strong connection with self so that there is more authentic communication between partners around what each requires or desires from them both moving forward; taking care of yourself as an individual gives you strength in understanding what works within yourself while also growing together better connected with your partner.. 
Living fuller lives outside couple interactions too will increase feelings of connectedness again eventually once any strain due to past hurts have been worked through: participating regularly in activities away from home helps refreshen interests shared together initially which fosters closer relationships over sustained amounts of time - like engaging at weekend excursions or regular date nights (or mornings) when possible helps renewal occurring organically along these paths over longer intervals rather than only short bursts before exhaustion sets back in without progress being measured during any period where changes have been hoped for along healing paths taken together instead!

Trust is a foundation of any healthy relationship, and healing from the past can be difficult but not impossible. For reconciliation, you have to put in effort both separately and as a couple. You need to honestly discuss your feelings, the triggers for infidelity, any expectations of each other and how they can be managed in order to build trust again. A vulnerable conversation that includes “I feel” statements is important so that both of you get an understanding each other’s situation which also acts as a reaffirmation of love. Additionally, putting faith into taking baby steps such as increasing intimacy levels, improving communication skill and making compromises for a healthier connection would lead you towards success in rebuilding trust ultimately..
