Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-29 00:00:00 Jenteal Rossi OKAY LET ME EXPLAIN There is no affair in my life. (That I know of. Joooookes.). But I have a tendency to hold onto blame for things that happened in the past, play the martyr, get on my moral high horse, and punish people for things they apologized for over and over again a long time ago. I couldn't manage to find a book that actually specifically addressed that particular issue at length. But I stumbled across this one in the library and surprising, it seemed to address that very issue. And it was not difficult at all to translate the affair-language to language that was relevant to me. This was a self-help book that didn't suck. I don't know if I loved it, but I think it actually did give me some useful strategies for reframing certain things in my life and forced me to take some accountability for things I was dodging. Which I guess is the point of self-help books? Idk, self-help books are still mostly a joke of a genre to me, but this one isn't totally useless.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-20 00:00:00 Herbert Schupp Other than being 100% heteronormative, this book offers a helpful map for what to do after an affair comes to light. It is written so as to help couples navigate the complicated and overwhelming mix of emotions. Each chapter narrows the focus to a specific component of understanding, coping, and healing. I would love to see this revised with more inclusive language.
