Description
Drawing on years of work with couples, this thought-provoking exploration examines infidelity as a window into the complexities of love, desire, commitment, and contemporary marriage. Through vivid case studies and perceptive psychological and cultural analysis, it asks why people betray—even in fulfilling relationships—and why affairs can cause such profound pain. Rather than reducing betrayal to simple moral judgment, the book considers how couples might confront its aftermath, reclaim intimacy, and reimagine their relationship together or apart. Insightful, candid, and compassionate, it offers a nuanced framework for understanding both the risks and possibilities within modern love.
