Paperback. How to Avoid Deception and Cheating in RelationshipsCheating does not begin with a single decision. It begins with a system of small, predictable moments most people fail to recognize.In this book, R. E. Geffner, MD, reveals the two forces within every person-commitment and desire-and explains why they often move in opposite directions. He shows that attraction is automatic, but actions are chosen, and that ordinary people slowly cross boundaries through attention, validation, secrecy, and rationalization. Step by step, he explains how deception often develops gradually rather than all at once. It may begin with a look that lingers too long, a conversation that becomes more personal, or a message dismissed as "harmless." Over time, emotional boundaries weaken, private communication increases, and emotional attachment begins to grow in secrecy. He reveals how opportunity, environment, unmet emotional needs, and ego can slowly overpower good intentions-and why many people recognize the warning signs long before they finally cross the line. More importantly, this book is a playbook for control. It teaches how to interrupt impulses in real time, create boundaries that actually work, manage digital temptation, and rebuild connection within the relationship so outside attention loses its power.This is not about being perfect.It is about becoming someone who does not cross the line-even when given the chance. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

How to Avoid Deception and Cheating in Relationships
Cheating does not begin with a single decision. It begins with a system of small, predictable moments most people fail to recognize.
In this book, R. E. Geffner, MD, reveals the two forces within every person—commitment and desire—and explains why they often move in opposite directions. He shows that attraction is automatic, but actions are chosen, and that ordinary people slowly cross boundaries through attention, validation, secrecy, and rationalization.
Step by step, he explains how deception often develops gradually rather than all at once. It may begin with a look that lingers too long, a conversation that becomes more personal, or a message dismissed as “harmless.” Over time, emotional boundaries weaken, private communication increases, and emotional attachment begins to grow in secrecy. He reveals how opportunity, environment, unmet emotional needs, and ego can slowly overpower good intentions—and why many people recognize the warning signs long before they finally cross the line.
More importantly, this book is a playbook for control. It teaches how to interrupt impulses in real time, create boundaries that actually work, manage digital temptation, and rebuild connection within the relationship so outside attention loses its power.
This is not about being perfect.
It is about becoming someone who does not cross the line—even when given the chance.
