5.0 out of 5 stars
A superb and useful book on a controversial subject, June 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Affair!: How to Manage Every Aspect of Your Extramarital Relationship with Passion, Discretion and Dignity (Paperback)
Although there are lots of books directed to "hurt" spouses, this book was the first one I found that seriously and compassionately deals with a real problem that people seldom admit: What do you do when you are married and have children with someone who is self-absorbed or self-centered and months or years of marriage counselling haven't changed them? They may be a good parent and, knowing how important it is for your children's well-being, you stay for their sake. I felt that I was stuck in a bad situation that would be going on for years while I grew older. Religion, hobbies, sports and community service can't be everyone's substitute for a loving adult relationship.
This book was a lifesaver for me. It's very well written and full of practical advice. It helped me find and keep my special friend to help me through this until my children are older. My life is so much more bearable, so much happier now. It's not an ideal situation, but it has made it possible for me to stick it out for my kids.

For those who MUST have an affair, here is the how-to., March 25, 2000

This review is from: Affair!: How to Manage Every Aspect of Your Extramarital Relationship with Passion, Discretion and Dignity (Paperback)
This book is interesting, entertaining, and practical. Filled with common sense, this will greatly help those wanting affection from outside their marriage. If an affair is something that a person can not avoid, then this is THE guide to have. I think every detail pertaining to the subject is addressed very well.
