Summary

An affair: it can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so too have the prohibitions against it. And yet, this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Why do people cheat? When we say 'infidelity', what exactly do we mean? Is there such a think as an affair-proof marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Can an affair ever help a marriage? For the past ten years, Perel has worked with hundreds of couples who have grappled with infidelity. Weaving together real-life stories with incisive psychological and cultural analysis, Perel invites readers into a truly revealing exploration of modern relationships
