This study is designed to investigate the interactive relationship pathology between couples, after husband's infidelities, among the traumatic women in Isfahan, using a qualitative and phenomenological method in 2012 -2013. Based on a purposive sampling method, 10 cases were selected from the women traumatized from husbands' infidelities. To identify interactive traumas of the inter-relationship, based on existent documents, a semi- structured interview was designed. Then the data was analyzed by classification methods and second data organization. The results showed that interactive traumas in couples, after infidelities, comprise 21 main categories. These traumas, before infidelities, are classified in 4 main areas as follow: intrapersonal traumas, interpersonal traumas, meta-personal traumas and special meta-personal traumas.
