This was the first book I bought and although I gained some perspective on what was happening to me and my relationship, it only addresses a few areas in any real depth. Having purchased a few, I can recommend Not Just Friends by Shirley P. Glass as that takes you and your partner through the complete journey of infidelity and beyond regardless of where the two of you end up long term.

After my husband finally admitted a 23 month affair which nevertheless left my devestated I brought this and two other books. I found it invaluable in the 5 days and nights we just talked and talked and talked - more than we had in the previous 10 years of our 18 year marriage/20 year relationship. However now 9 weeks on my husband doesn't want to discuss it anymore as he has buried it but things and situations still come into my mind that I must question - there is nothing in the book to talk about time for the betrayed needing to think aloud

Having been involved in an affair, we took this book as a guide on 'how we can sort this out' and re-establish our relationship and trust.
The book focusses largely on the different types of affairs, and this would be useful to one partner if they are suspusious. However for us there was little in this section that helped us, as none of the types/examples related to our situation.
There is little advise on how to recover a relationship, ie how to really dig down and resolve why it happened, and how you can prevent it from happening again. We put the book down, having read it together and said - what else can we find to help us?
So I thinks its a useful summary of 'why affairs happen', but do not offer much help in rebuilding relationships.
