The groundbreaking book on recovering from infidelity and surviving marital affairs...and coming out stronger and more in love than ever. Courageous, bold, honest.
Brian (husband): After nearly two decades of marriage to a sexy, loving woman - with whom I made love almost every night - I came home from work one evening and told her I was moving out, leaving her for another woman. Lucky for me, my wife refused to give up on our marriage. We are now closer and more committed than ever. What you're probably wondering is, if I loved my wife so much, why did I do it? In this book, I have answered that question.
Danielle (teenage daughter): When my father told me he was leaving my mother for another woman, I felt it was me he was abandoning. I wondered "what has my whole life been so far, a joke?" In this book, I share the truth about my feelings
Anne (wife): My Husband's affair became the best thing that ever happened to me, yes eventually, but it was also the most devastating of my life. There was a time when I wondered if I could even live through it.
I read this book because of the title, but found it to be less that other books regarding affairs that I had read. The book is written from the betrayed wife's pespective, and tends to monologue to much and has a lot of religious basis. The fact that she was so out of touch with her daughter and the suicide attempts, confirmed for me that she must have also been very much out of touch with her Husband. I was the betrayed partner and found little refuge in this book.
If you are religious this may be a good read, however having grown up in Church myself I found that many of the actions of the wife were not those someone with a strong religious commitment would do.
