Unlike other books that have focused on wives' feelings about and experiences with cheating husbands, this book is based on a research study the author conducted for which he interviewed and studied nearly 100 men who have cheated on their wives. When Neuman asked the question What is the real cause of your infidelity: sexual dissatisfaction, emotional dissatisfaction, both equally, or something else?, surprisingly, the majority said that emotional dissatisfaction outweighed sexual dissatisfaction by far. Drawing on dramatic case stories of the author's own practice, the book includes proactive strategies and action steps for married women and men that will help them prevent infidelity and deal with it if it happens. The author's goal is to help couples save their marriages, and he writes in a warm and friendly tone. About the Author M. Gary Neuman is a licensed family counselor and rabbi.
