Unfaithful: Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity


While in the midst of confusion and the personal anguish of infidelity in a marriage, there is something couples need to know—there is hope; marriages can heal; the authors of this book are living proof. More than ten years ago, Gary Shriver confessed to his wife, Mona, about a three-year affair, as well as a one-night stand. Though the impact of that confession was devastating, it wasn’t the end of their marriage. In their deepest despair, Gary and Mona wanted to know a real couple whose marriage had survived infidelity. They wanted desperately for someone—someone who had been in that situation—to say to them, “You can get through this and learn to trust again!” But they could find no couple willing to be that vulnerable.
This is why the Shrivers have opened the pages of their lives and hearts to hurting couples everywhere. In Unfaithful: Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity Gary and Mona each share, from their own perspectives, the impact of adultery on their family, the strength they found in their faith, what it takes to endure, the importance of communication and forgiveness, and so much more. With the Shrivers’ help, couples can learn to move beyond crisis to a place where they can renew their hope, rebuild their trust, and ultimately, restore their marriages!
Opposites Attract: How to Use the Secrets of Personality Type to Create a Love That Lasts


Does your partner want to go out on Friday nights when you prefer to curl up at home with a movie?
Does your neat-freak boyfriend always want to clean up your cluttered office?
Does your wife want to plan trips six months in advance while you're a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of person?
The truth is, opposites attract. People who are different from each other in fundamental ways often catch each other's attention. We are attracted to the very qualities we wish we had ourselves. A shy person looks for a mate who is outgoing and gregarious to provide a social circle, and the outgoing person may need to be with someone who won't compete with him for attention. It seems like the perfect match—that is, until those very differences that originally attracted us start to drive us crazy.
But these differences don't have to drive couples apart. Renee Baron, a marriage and family therapist with more than twenty-five years of experience, uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™ to provide a practical program for learning to appreciate our differences, rather than fight over them. The MBTI™ is the most widely used personality indicator in the world. By discovering your innate personality preferences and those of your partner, you can stop having the same fights over and over again and start appreciating the gifts each of you offers to the relationship.

Infidelity: A Practitioner’s Guide to Working with Couples in Crisis (Family Therapy and Counseling)


When one partner in a relationship is unfaithful to the other, it takes a lot of work by both parties involved to salvage the relationship. In today’s therapy-friendly climate, marriage/couples counseling is often a part of that rebuilding process. Many couples seek out professional therapy after an affair is out in the open, but often the act of infidelity is revealed while uncovering and discussing unrelated issues for which the couple is in counseling. And yet, amazingly, as common as this complex and difficult topic arises in therapy, there is relatively little professional literature devoted to understanding and "treating" infidelity.
In this volume, Paul Peluso has assembled a truly impressive list of contributors from a range of disciplines and backgrounds, including marital therapy, family therapy, evolutionary psychology, marriage research, and cyberstudies, with the aim of filling this void.
Consensual Infidelity: The True Story of One Ordinary Couple’s Experiment with Swinging


In the suburbs, swinging isn't just for the playground. Kaysee Smart thinks she is content with her life of driving the carpool, enjoying play dates and trying that exciting new recipe for the next potluck. But when her conservative husband, Justin, casually suggests inviting someone else into their sex life, a new version of Kaysee emerges. Increasingly intrigued by the idea of a threesome or foursome, Kaysee questions her own identity, wondering if she truly is the “good girl” she has always proclaimed herself to be. Searching Internet sites for sex partners and Googling “how to be a swinger” plunge the couple into a taboo world that most people imagine but few actually visit. As Kaysee and Justin begin to live out this fantasy, they experience a sexual re-start they didn’t know was still possible. They also find that experimenting outside the norm can have unanticipated consequences. Consensual Infidelity is the true story of an all-American, suburban couple's experiment with swinging and how the experience redefined their beliefs about marriage, love, sex, and fidelity.

Cheat-proof Your Marriage Without Hiring A Detective.


One of the most common causes of a failed marriage is infidelity.
Your friends might have told you stories about them catching their partners with somebody else.
You cringe at the idea of that happening to you. But how can you be sure it won’t?
Spending the rest of your life with somebody you truly love is a major goal for most people. But the rising number of divorce cases each year only proves that the bond a marriage provides may not really be as strong as it should be.
Actually, records show that many marriages were dissolved because of the disloyalty of a party.
People go into relationships for a number of different reasons. And in the process, they are expecting something from their partner. Some expect their partner to alter their way of living after getting married for their sake, while others demand more than what their partner can give. Whatever the case may be, only one truth remains:
Marriage is a commitment. As a person enters into it, he or she has a new set responsibility to undertake.
Part of that responsibility is to remain true and loyal to their partner. In a relationship, cheating is a major no-no. Most of the time, both parties assure one other that they would never cheat on each other. But does it really happen? Not necessarily.

The Emotional Affair: How to Recognize Emotional Infidelity and What to Do About It


The Emotional Affair is the only book on the market for couples seeking to cope with and recover from one partner's emotional affair. Although emotional affairs often do not include physical intimacy, they can take away from the relationship by encouraging one partner to get his or her emotional needs met elsewhere, and by bringing secrecy and deception into the relationship, which damages trust just as surely as if the partner had slept with the other person.
Emotional affairs share three characteristics: Emotional intimacy. Transgressors share more of their inner self, frustrations and triumphs than with their spouses. They are on a slippery slope when they begin sharing the dissatisfaction with their marriage with a co-worker. Secrecy and deception. They neglect to say, We meet every morning for coffee. Once the lying starts, the intimacy shifts farther away from the marriage. Sexual chemistry. Even though the two may not act on the chemistry, there is at least an unacknowledged sexual attraction.
Often, people whose partners have emotional affairs either don't feel like they have a right to put an end to it (after all, the other person is just a friend and not a lover), or they have to contend with the cheating person's evasions and justifications (we work together, we're not having an affair), and accusations that the jealousy or insecurity is not justified. It can be difficult to think of an emotional affair as a problem, even if it's causing the partner worry, jealousy, insecurity, and the loss of emotional connection to the cheating partner.
This book helps the reader explore whether or not the partner is having an emotional affair and then offers steps to discovering the roots of the problem, making changes in the relationship, discussing the issue with the cheating partner, and recovering from the breach of trust and intimacy caused by the affair.
Infidelity: Exploding the Myths


Infidelity: it happens to millions of people around the world. We all know about Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Bill and Hillary Clinton, but it’s not something confined to the rich and famous. The truth is that with every relationship and every marriage comes the possibility of infidelity. No matter what gender you are, whether you are straight, gay or bi, infidelity can find you.
Julia Hartley Moore has experienced it too – in her own life, and also in her career as a private investigator. In this perceptive book, she identifies the telltale signs to look out for if you suspect your partner is a cheat, how to work through it, and how to survive infidelity without becoming scarred and bitter. Bursting with useful information and practical advice, INFIDELITY is a self-help guide as well as a reference book. It includes dozens of real-life examples from the author’s professional work, as well as chapters on how to have a successful affair and on your legal and financial rights (by lawyer Ross Knight).
In this new edition, Julia also tells her own extraordinary story. She was in her teens, and the mother of three children, when she experienced infidelity for the first time. Four marriages later – and fifteen years after setting up her own private investigation company – she is in an ideal position to offer both personal and objective insights into a subject that fascinates everyone but devastates those it touches.
This is a must-read book, especially for women, and is hopefully the only book you’ll ever need to read on the subject of infidelity! By reading INFIDELITY: EXPLODING THE MYTHS, you will learn:
• What is infidelity?
• At what point does a man go from being a cheater to a sex addict?
