"This writing is extraordinary and unique. First, because it
was written by a man whose wife had an affair. Most
first-person writing about affairs has been from women. It
contains some of the rawest honesty about the pain of an
affair that I have ever read. It provides a great deal of
hard-earned wisdom about the whole issue of affairs,
particularly in healing from the devastation. I highly
recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to know what
it's like to deal with a spouse's affair - and to learn
practical ways to recover and heal."
Peggy Vaughan, author of
The Monogamy Myth
Written over a period of two
years and based on his personal experience and those of over
100 others who have suffered the betrayal of a partner's
adultery, the author has captured the essence of the pain,
anguish and inestimable psychological effects of a partner's
affair.
From his own struggle to
survive and recover, the author shares with those who are
trying to recover, suggestions for survival, recovery and
ways to deal with the many adverse personal effects of
betrayal. Self esteem, trust, anger, depression, obsessing
and more are all looked at and the reader is provided with
practical suggestions for overcoming these issues.
Readers and other authors
have praised the work for its straightforward and simple
approach. The author has taken the subject out of the
theoretical and gets down to earth with reality, personal
understanding and insights gained through experience that
only those who have "been there" could ever know
