Product Information

You need to accept in your mind that they had full on monkey sex. That they went all the way and that she did things with him that she didn't do with you and may never do with you. How would you act now? Learn as much as you can. Then you take control of what you want to do with your life. Your wife is obviously not up to the task.

How long it went on: Usually, a one-time sexual encounter is not as devastating to the betrayed partner as repeated sexual dalliances or a lengthy affair. This is because longer-term infidelity undercuts everything that occurred in the relationship while the cheating took place.

Yes, says Dr Abigael San of the British Psychological Society – but she stresses that merely talking has its limits. “A lot of the time, couples counselling will concentrate on improving communication, which is certainly important, but it can be a rather superficial intervention,” she says. “You need to go much deeper than that.
