What Now? Not all extramarital affairs are the same, nor do they all call for the same response.
In Surviving Infidelity, therapists Rona Subotnik and Gloria Harris examine:
The different kinds of affairs (and why they happen)
The effects of an affair on the marriage
Strategies for coping with hurt and betrayal
Life after an affair-from deciding whether to continue the marriage to undertaking the challenge of rebuilding it
The Importance of sincere apologies, communicated with empathy, in re-establishing a couple's relationship.
Drawing on their clinical experience, Subotnik and Harris offer a nonjudgmental and compassionate look at infidelity from the spouse's point of view, emphasizing practical approaches to recovery. Their work is bringing new hope to couples who confront these painful issues.
