Overcome fury, loneliness, fear and sadness to take back your power and gain independence.

Irreverent, wise and full of edgy humor, Adulterer's Wife will help free you from the hold that your husband's infidelity has on you. How do you get back on your feet? Mend a broken heart? Or fill the gaping void in your life?

Unlike other books on infidelity, Adulterer's Wife doesn't urge you towards couples therapy, marital reconciliation, divorce or revenge. Instead the book focuses on how to make your life more fulfilling, whether you choose to stay in the marriage or leave it. "The sweetest revenge is to get past the need for it," writes C. J. Grace.

Here are the tools to help you find increased self-reliance and joy, as well as more adventure, a new circle of friends, and psychological or even spiritual transformation.

What you will learn about:

How to stop feeling like sh*t.
How to confront your husband.
Deciding if your marriage is worth saving.
Softening the impact on your kids.
Why some marriages sink into celibacy.
How to deal with the other woman.
Rethinking sex after adultery.

Hilarious cartoons spice the pages, as do tales of adultery involving people from many countries and all walks of life. Some stories are outrageous, some poignant and some will make you laugh out loud.

Having lived and worked in America, Europe and Asia, C. J. Grace concludes that no one country has a monopoly for lunacy as regards sex and relationships. "It's just that in each place the characteristics of nuttiness (and even naughtiness) are slightly different," she writes. Drawing from such diverse sources as Star Trek and Sun Tzu's Art of War, the author challenges assumptions about infidelity, sex and relationships. She will take you away from your husband being the center of your universe, which he ever should have been anyway. Discover how to become a more complete, creative and joyful person no partner required.

Amazingly insightful &encouraging!

Have read so many books on this subject -a subject I was sure I would never experience as my Husband I believed was in that small percentage who would never stray-the lies he told to cover up when I found the first piece of evidence were so epically rediculous that the lies made me angrier then the actual act.This book was not only so insightful but it was humurous as well and the references to Women who lived this made me feel less alone-like I was now part of a secret club that I wish I didn't have the qualifications to join.It helped me realize that while my Husband pulled the rug out from under me and nearly destroyed our Family,it was not about me-it was his own selfishness and stupidity and I should stop carrying this burden on my back every day/wish I had found this book 2 years ago-it's at the top of my list out of all the books I blazed through trying to understand,"Why Me?"

Wise and funny at the same time

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2021

CJ Grace is able to take a scary topic and make it fun and engaging, so that you can't stop reading.
She’s also Mistress of the Witty Soundbite, so her ideas and stories stick with you.
When you're going through the trauma of infidelity, you really need someone who understands exactly what you're going through but can also lighten your mood so you can move forward.

CJ writes about a painful topic with great insight and humor. Not sure how she did it. Well done!

It's about time this was written and wow what a job she did!

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016

Adulterer's Wife is like that great song that your best friend just wrote that you know instantly will be a classic. I can't understand how it is that this book was so recently written, given the great number of us women that have had to struggle with cheating partners, whether for ourselves, our friends, or both. But it was worth the wait. IF you have the guts to open it you'll have trouble putting it down. It's real. It's hysterically funny. It's wise. It's among the tiny percentage of self help books that are truly helpful. BUY IT! AND READ IT!!!

A great read - insightful and hilarious

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016

Despite not being an adulterer's wife - I'm a single guy - I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's well-written, blunt, funny and straight from the heart. I think it will really help the many women out there who have unfaithful partners. It would also be useful for men whose wives are cheating.

It sucks you in

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2016

Adulterer's Wife strips away any inhibition one may have to steer clear of revealing our true self. Our true nature. Our true feelings. It sucks you in. Male. Female. Mistress. Wife. Husband. Philanderer. Wounded hearts. It makes you laugh out loud, cringe, cry and finally, feel normal no matter which path you have chosen. The cartoons make it a 5 star plus!! Enjoy!

Amusing, Logical, Definitely Useful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 23, 2016

Just about everyone knows someone who has been hurt by infidelity, and the author has done an outstanding job of setting out the pros and cons of the various courses of action open to those who have been deceived. The preservation of dignity is a common theme, as it should be in my view, because without dignity what is one left with? Betrayal of trust is an ugly act, hence the equally ugly emotions that discovery of betrayal inevitably evokes. But giving in to impulses for revenge is likely to result in a loss of self-esteem, at a time when that is the very thing one needs the most. So for anyone in the throes of such pain this book is a must-read. And for any such person who cannot summon the motivation to read it, who is feeling overwhelmed with shock and hurt, perhaps a friend could do the honours and summarise and guide accordingly, as it is packed with common sense and wise guidance.
