The Truth About Cheating

More about the book

Few events cause as much turmoil in a marriage as infidelity, shattering trust and breeding insecurity and resentment. Those who believe it won't happen to them often feel the impact even more acutely when it does. This bestselling work explores the reasons behind male infidelity and potential prevention strategies. It delves into what men seek from their mistresses that they feel is lacking at home and examines the influence of male friendships on their likelihood to cheat. Experienced family counselor M. Gary Neuman presents findings from a groundbreaking research study involving interviews with men who have cheated on their wives. Among the shocking discoveries is the significant role of emotional dissatisfaction in motivating husbands to stray, while sexual dissatisfaction plays a surprisingly minor role. The book also contrasts the experiences of cheating men with those who have remained faithful. Neuman, who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, shares dramatic case stories from his practice and offers proactive strategies for married women to help prevent infidelity and foster a faithful, rewarding marriage.
