Publisher's summary

Many times infidelity is the death of a relationship - but an affair doesn't have to mean the end. Realistic ways of coping with pain, restoring self-esteem, and rebuilding trust and intimacy are available for the first time on audio in this guide by Dr. Janis Abrahms Spring.

Dr. Spring is one of the few clinical psychologists in the US who specializes in infidelity. She offers original and proven strategies to those seeking guidance, sympathy, and solutions, laying to rest blame and recrimination and focusing instead on recovery.

Critic reviews

"...the most comprehensive and balanced book I have ever read on the subject. It is a 'must' for any couple who has experienced the violation of trust as a result of an affair." (Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., author of Getting the Love You Want)

audio v book

although content of the book is very informational, extremely helpful and eye opening, the audio version does not include everything that is found in the book.

This book has opened my eyes as a hurt partner.

thank you so much for this. I have been obsessive over the object of my husband's affair..I haven't been sleeping so well and had to start taking aids to help. I realize now that we as a couple have done so much of what was said before I ever read this. the narrator in this audio was splendid. I didn't feel she had a monotone voice. I didn't get bored or fall asleep. thank you again for this amazing chance at redemption for our marriage

Good ideas for all marital relationships

Excellent and realistic advice for those who are hurting as well as those who have been unfaithful. I was reading this book before recommending it to a friend whose spouse went astray for the second time. I am recommending this book so that my friend can make a thoughtful decision as to what is best path going forward. Even though I don't have the problem my friend has, I have gained many ideas for making my relationship with my spouse more intimate and rewarding.

Very helpful

I enjoyed this book as much as anyone can when it's necessary to read such things. It was insightful, explanatory, consoling, and therapeutic. I listened to it twice within the week I received it (I have a long commute). I would recommend it to anyone that finds them self suddenly in this situation. The author explains both the mental and physical results and recovery of an affair. Very objective and informative.
