Any additional comments?

I stumbled by accident on this audio book while searching for a novel to take my mind off my misery. I was skeptical and afraid it would be just another self-help book rendering few results. After listening to the first 10 minutes, I immediately gifted the audio book to my spouse. We listened, simultaneously rather than together, and the lines of true communication began to slowly open. Accepting that the individual committing the infidelity is, as well, suffering was a stunning revelation. Infidelity does not have to be the end of a relationship - the path you take at this fork can go many ways; however, it can continue without the pain, hostility and misery that once accompanied the life altering event. I highly recommend this audio book to anyone who has the misfortune of needing help addressing this issue.

So very helpful!

I came across this book when I needed it most. Very clear, practical and applicable. Helped to calm the inner storm a bit by conveying that my reactions and thoughts were not crazy, but tylical.

Excellent Resource

I started this read about 5 months into my seperation. The only thing I would do differently is I would have read it sooner. It covers the initial shock, the adaptation thereof, the conversations that should occur to facilitate healing, conversations with your children, deciding on working things out and/or leaving.

I was cheated on multiple times for years unbeknownst to me. One of the most difficult things to face was my own part in the seperation. I had to accept responsibility for my contributions in its deteriation in order to break the repetition whether it be in mending our relationship or any other future relationships.

Well worth listening to.

I have listen to at least a dozen books this thus far is the only book that I have listened to that was to the point easy to listen to and easy to understand.

Assessments are good

the assessments are good but not very helpful if your partner isn't willing to listen to them

Very good

I love this, it really help start a plan for recovery. Tools to really help forgive, rekindle, or even move on are with this book. Truly helpful information to heal so that you walk away from this trauma stronger and able to test again.

Saying the Truths You Need To Hear

So for the most part, everything discussed in this book is something you already know to be true, but it's hard to accept because it still hurts too much at the begining of the process. Logically we know that someone having an affair will mourn the loss of the extramarital partner when and if they make the decision to end it. It's a relationship- when it ends, for better or for worse there is a period where it affects that spouse and they will be distant and resistant while they process the loss of the relationship. It's logical, but it doesn't make it easy to accept. I hope people relisten to many of the exercises and really put the work in to follow through on them. I really wish there was a PDF companion to this book that people could download/print to allow people to work through these without having to transcribe the exercises. I feel they are important and worth the effort though. the future still holds a lot of uncertainty, but I feel better in myself and my abilities to meet the challenges ahead and to help us heal our relationship and make it stronger going forward. -review by a betrayed male spouse- 10 years married/3 kids
