Product Description
While trying to cope with the pain of knowing that their partners have cheated, victims of infidelity have to wrestle with two big questions: whether to stay in the relationship and, if they do stay, how to best prevent experiencing this kind of hurt ever again. In this book, two relationship experts offer a new way of understanding the causes and types of infidelity and innovative new ways to “affair-proof” recovered or new relationships.
The book begins with an overview of the phenomenon of infidelity and the way a long-term relationship develops over times. The book develops a three-type model of intimacy and infidelity and analyzes each. The authors include a discussion of how to evaluate a relationship for infidelity risks and how to choose a partner that is less likely to be unfaithful.

It’s an amazing book. It’s as if the authors were standing inside of me when I found about my wife’s infidelity. Dealing with the hurt, the feeling of betrayal the anger, the shock; they were with me and then they took me into understanding my emotions and evaluating my options. Should I stay should I go. Should we try to repair this, can it be repaired? How do I overcome the hurt and anger? It was all there in the book. We decided to make a go of it our relationship is stronger more trusting and loving than it ever was. I never would have believed it. Get this book!

Among the several books I have been reading on the same theme, this book stands out for me because of the way it recommends how one can go about evaluating if the relationship in peril has a high/low chance of succeeding in the long term. I especially find the concept of “Needs Love” vs “Being Loved” useful, and also the “Three Deal-Breakers” as a helpful way of gauging one’s prospect in salvaging the relationship. These are all covered in the initial few chapters of the book.
The remaining chapters are helpful for getting in terms with one’s own emotional psyche, the stages of how and why things happen, and how best to move forward. Many other books cover these areas in various depths, with various emphasis, and using various approaches that are actually all rather similar with respect to the processes of bringing the reader’s emotional and psychological state into perspective, and to helping the reader strive towards achieving the same end result- i.e. a more resilient and fulfilling relationship.
