As. betrayed, this is perfect!

A must read for both betrayer and betrayed

I’m 9 months into recovering from my husband’s affair. I’ve read many books, involved with many programs, websites, therapy, etc. If any betrayed has made an effort in figuring this pain out it is me. Of course, so much went ‘wrong’ in the beginning because I had never thought I’d be faced with such a traumatic event. We are still working thru murky waters. I heard about this book from one of the newsletters I get from many affair recovery websites. I sent it to my spouse to read and hope he does as it explains exactly how I’m feeling and communicates it clearly. It’s a quick listen/read and says so much. I feel like our biggest struggle is just not knowing what to do. This book spells it out clearly. If you truly want to save your marriage follow this book’s guidelines to a T.

Helpful beyond words

A good set of tools to repair the paramount relationship on this earth.
Stop waiting, start rebuilding.

Every unfaithful needs to read this

very short and to the point. Very helpful short reasonable requests to help your betrayed heal. Excellent book overall and very recommended for anyone trying to repair and move on.

Very helpful

My boyfriend and I sat down together and listened to this book, pausing occasionally to discuss our feelings on topics. It helped us express our issues and better understand how the other was feeling. Highly recommend this book for a quick alternative to counseling - though, I totally support counseling.

great insight

I hope by applying this new knowledge to my marriage I can help rebuild what has been broken!
