Book Description

July 6, 2006
The groundbreaking book on recovering from infidelity and surviving marital affairs...and coming out stronger and more in love than ever. Courageous, bold, honest.

Brian (husband): After nearly two decades of marriage to a sexy, loving woman - with whom I made love almost every night - I came home from work one evening and told her I was moving out, leaving her for another woman. Lucky for me, my wife refused to give up on our marriage. We are now closer and more committed than ever. What you're probably wondering is, if I loved my wife so much, why did I do it? In this book, I have answered that question.

Danielle (teenage daughter): When my father told me he was leaving my mother for another woman, I felt it was me he was abandoning. I wondered "what has my whole life been so far, a joke?" In this book, I share the truth about my feelings

Anne (wife): My Husband's affair became the best thing that ever happened to me, yes eventually, but it was also the most devastating of my life. There was a time when I wondered if I could even live through it.

What people are saying..."Riveting...Mesmerizing...I couldn't put the book down."

"My Husband's Affair" deliberately removes itself from providing "the theoretical and psychological" explanations for the why of infidelity and instead purposes to take readers on a gut-honest, courageous, straight-from-the-heart journey into the lives of a couple/family who endured the aftermath of an affair. A must-read before couples, facing infidelity, make life decisions they may later regret. This book provides an alternative to the expected... hope that it's not over.
Don Huston, BTh, MC, RCC, Couples Therapist

This book makes a wonderful contribution to the growing willingness of couples to "break the code of silence" and share their experience with affairs in order to help others. It offers clear insight into the pain involved as well as great hope for the power to recover and rebuild the marriage.
Peggy Vaughan, author of "The Monogamy Myth" and Host of www.dearpeggy.com

For too long too many have suffered in silence because of the stigma associated with affairs. This book gives an honest look at the reality of betrayal and offers hope through the testimony of one brave couple.
Margie Thaler - A Reader

What a ride! Anne captures her marital journey in a way that leaves you feeling as if you've just completed a double loop on a roller coaster...only to realize there's another one coming! After reading their story, I see Anne and Brian as champions of honesty, commitment, perseverance....and true love.
Monica Columbus - A Reader

4.0 out of 5 stars It gives hope to the betrayed spouse, October 6, 2005
This review is from: My Husband's Affair Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me (Paperback)
I saw Anne Bercht on Oprah, and immediately purchased this book. She seemed so positive and a real role model, and she and her husband did look like they had both learned a lot from his affair. This book, however, showed that it was a long road for her (and him) to get their marriage back on track, but a road that may be worth taking for some couples thrown into the devastation and rollercoaster ride of infidelity. I liked that the book did occaisionally give the husband's side of the story, but the book mainly focussed on Anne's daily struggle of how to cope with her husband's affair, and how to just get through each day...one day at a time. At some points I found the book to wallow in its own self-pity a bit, but I know that this is what happens when you are betrayed by your spouse in this way. Anne had every right to throw herself a pity party every once in a while, and sharing it probably helps some readers see that. I think her life post-affair was probably a bit more dramatic than most couples, but the message she was trying to convey was helpful. Basically, she tries to help readers understand that no one knows what the experience of infidelity in a marriage is like until you've been through it, and that, if both parties make an honest effort to rebuild the shattered trust and communication that results from an affair, the new people that emerge can be even better than they were pre-affair ...together or separate. I would recommend this book to women who have been betrayed by their husband's infidelity and are looking for hope and empathy from someone who has been there. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was because I was hoping for a little more about how they grew together as a couple post-affair, not just about how she grew.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lifesaver in a Sea of Turmoil, July 7, 2005
By 
This review is from: My Husband's Affair Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me (Paperback)
Anne and Brian's story was a lifesaver for me in the days following discovery of my husband's affair. No one except those who have lived through this experience know the utter devastation and horror of discovering the one you trust the most, the one you have spent your life with, the one you have taken to your bed, has given away their heart and body to another. When this happens to you, all that you know is true seems to be false and the world looks flat. Anne's courage to fight for her husband and their marriage was a shining inspiration to me. Brian's love for Anne and their family gently guided me to see my husband is not a terrible ogre who wanted to hurt me. This is the ONLY book that will tell this true story not only from the betrayed spouse's side, but also from the perspective of the betrayer and the "other woman". A virtual lifesaver for those who are drowning in pain!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Husband's Affair Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me, September 12, 2005
This review is from: My Husband's Affair Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me (Paperback)
This book was so helpful in my effort to keep my sanity as I went through my husband's infidelity. I didn't want to talk to anyone, since I still wanted to be married to him, but with no one to turn to and going through the pain and the turmoil, the author's experience helped me to understand that my emotions were normal.

Reading about her husband's point of view had also prepared me for my husband's withdrawal symptoms after the affair ended and I was mentally ready and willing to offer the comfort and the acceptance that he desperately needed.

I highly recommend this book to anyone going through the experience and for others who want to avoid such painful experience in their marriage.
