I want to start off today by saying this article is specifically for couples where both parties are involved in the recovery process. I thought Stephanie was cheating on me during our second year of marriage. Three days a week, after coming home from work, she would leave to go run with her manager, Dave. I was convinced she was cheating on me. You may also want to know he was more than 30...

Part 1: Discovery: Processing the Details of the Affair Part 2: Discovery: Why Do I Want to Know?
Last week, we kicked off our discussion on discovery and the processing of the numerous and overwhelming details. Today, I'd like to continue the conversation by presenting an important fact: During disclosure of the infidelity, there comes a point where more details actually hurt more than they heal. There's such a thing as knowing too much.
Yes, knowing what happened during the affair is critical for the betrayed mate to heal, but there comes a time when it's enough information to move forward. So why do betrayed partners continue to ask questions...
Healing from the trauma of infidelity is a multi-step process. After the difficult step of disclosure comes yet another challenging process: Handling the details. How you address the details of the affair or addiction determines how the recovery process will go. But how do you share these details without causing your mate further pain? And after all this information is shared, how do you each process it in a healthy way?
In our free First Steps Bootcamp for Surviving Infidelity, we walk couples through the...

At Affair Recovery, we're committed to helping people heal as individuals and as couples. But how does one know whether it's worth the effort, pain, and commitment to pursue restoration?
Before couples attend our EMS Weekend or take one of our online courses, I'm often asked: "When is it worth the effort to work things out, and when is it best to just move on?" It's an excellent question, so how do you begin answering it? Dr. Laura Schlessinger talks about the three A's as reasons to end a marriage: abuse,...
This week, we are privileged to hear from Michael John Cusick, who wrote one of my favorite books for gaining insight into the mind of an addict.
