No One in a Relationship Should Be Without It

Would you board a ship if there were no lifeboats or life preservers? Of course not. Then why not make sure you're fully protected in your relationship, too. How? Buy and read Affairs: Emergency Tactics. Dr. Rhodes' excellent, practical, down-to-earth, nuts-and-bolts guide is for every person who is hi--or might be hit--by the disaster of a suddenly discovered partner's affair. It's required reading for women and men who want to protect themselves from the emotional damage of an affair and use it instead as an opportunity to rebuild their lives. I found the section on the different kinds of affairs particularly helpful. Dr. Rhodes enables you to understand what happened, gives you the information to figure out what to do, and empowers you to do it. A winner, from beginning to end.

Spouse having an affair? Make this your bedside companion.

Most books, and most people, take a position on affairs-either you stay and work it out no matter what, or you leave with no going back. This may be the first book to talk about both options. She tells the reader how to determine if there is an affair; how to avoid spur-of-the-moment actions (or acting out and decisions that could have grave repercussions for you; how to determine which of the three types of affairs it is (two you leave, one you stay in her opinion); and then how you recover from the whole thing. Nothing will be easy, but there are ways to help you cope and to create a life as you want it. I wish no one would ever have to read this book, but if you're in this situation, this should be your bed-side companion.

Help for those who suspect their partner is unfaithful.

This book takes you through a step by step process on how to determine and then how to handle yourself and the relationship with an unfaithful partner. "Affairs" gives you instructions on what to do and what not to do - the latter being just as important as the former. I only wish I had had this book when I went through my divorce. It would have made things so much clearer and I might not have needed to go through the nightmare for almost two years. I highly recommend "Affairs".

Superb! Excellent! Step by step format to success.

Renee DeCartes once stated, "It is not good enough to have a good mind, you must use it well". I believe this book is an example of a great mind working to create a fertile world where growth and development is available regardless of the circumstances at any particular point in time. This book provides the step by step format necessary to make that emotional journey to a successful destination: reconciliation or divorce. Dr. Rhodes provides insightful guidelines to assist you maintain your dignity and arrive at your destination with a greater sense of self than when first confronted with the AFFAIR. In my opinion, this book is a reference for any person who wondered how a trained professonal (psychotherapist) would handle the affair crisis. Furthermore, this book takes the reader from emotional upheavel to integrating rational thought with his or her emotionsso you can do the best you can, with each aspect of your being, at any given point in time, during an affair crisis. Absolutely Superb!!!

A MUST FOR ALL: PRE OR POST AFFAIR

In the age of degredation we find today, it is very enlightening to find and know there are people like Dr. Rhodes, who care. This book covers a wide range of potential problems and helpful thought out solutions to guide you through a repairing process of a marriage, with the entire family considered. It is not one sided or biased in any way. The insight shown and the love put into this carefully thought out book could be an inspiration to so many. It is reading that should be done by all couples, not just those who are already having an affair. It shows great incite as to what can become a problem and I think therefore it could help stop the problem before it happens. I wish this would have been available years ago. I was with an unfaithful wife and stayed in a marriage destined for nowhere and without love, till the day my wife died.
