Hearing that your unfaithful partner is “crazy” for somebody else is devastating. I frequently am faced with something like, “I could manage her making love with somebody else. I assume I could cope with that. But, for her to offer herself emotionally as well as actually to “love” another … guy, that is tough.” What…

The spring of 2009 was surreal. In the midst of a high risk pregnancy and a less-than blissful honeymoon of a marriage, I was at war. I was at war with family, friends, and enemies. I deemed my husband, his mistress, and anyone who knew about his affair as the enemy. I prayed even though…
