From the Author
News events trigger issues of infidelity.
When news events of infidelity grab our attention on an almost daily, non-stop manner, as it has recently, they bring personal issues of unfaithfulness to mind. If these issues have not been resolved, that is, understood and the causes worked out, they linger. And even though they may have been pushed out of one's thoughts, they often re-surface through the daily reminders that are seen at every turn on tv, radio, newspaper, supermarket checkout stands. Comparisons may come to mind about the other woman, the wife, the unfaithful partner, and the effect on the family. What to do about this is important. Sweeping it under the rug doesn't help, because it is still there. We wrote Surviving Infidelity to help people understand the types of affairs, the causes, and the resolutions. The Second Edition updates the first with information about the effect and nature of lies and deceit, Cyberspace affairs, affairs that capture the media's attention, and other information that Dr. Harris and I wanted to add to help you survive infidelity. All good wishes. Rona Subotnik.

Customer Reviews

Surviving Infidelity
This is an execellent book for anyone who has been hurt by a partner's affair. It contains examples of different types of affairs and how the people affected by them felt. I found it particularly helpful to read that other people felt the same way as may and that I was not alone in feeling this way. This book will also help both parties decide if the relationship is worth saving after an affair. I would recommended it to anyone that has been affected by an affair.

Great for the later stages of recovery
I read "Not 'Just Friends': Rebuilding Trust and Recovering Your Sanity After Infidelity" by Shirley Glass in the first few weeks/months following news of my husband's affair and found it to be articulately and logically presented, giving me greater understanding.

After a few months had passed and my husband and I reached a point where we both seemed commited to working on the relationship, I chose to delve deeper into the "how" of marriage repair with this book.

It has been very helpful and I have definitely benefited from reading it during the later stages of the healing process rather than during the confusion of the first few months.

As with most, the book has mainly been written for couples who hope to repair their marriage although the authors do not appear biased; there are example stories of people who choose to part as a result of their differences.

The book is full of practical suggestions for re-establishing lost communication, tackling the differences and coping with the emotional turmoil. It's not at all heavy going yet it covers most concerns in depth. I found advice on tackling sexual difficulties post affair especially helpful.

I would thoroughly recommend this if you have reached a point where both parties are willing to put in the effort to work towards a shared future.

Very Moving
I read this book and dont mind admitting that i wept. My wife left me for another man, she dumped me and walked out on our children to set up home with a married man.
This book proved to me that life goes on and that you can survive the shock of betrayal by the person you loved and trusted.
I recomend this book to all victims of adultery...it is the best book I have read on the subject...apart from TILL DEATH US DO PART by GARRY JACKSON...
