Publisher's summary
When your partner betrays, what are the first steps to picking up the pieces of your shattered heart?
Many unsuspecting people wake up every day to discover their loved one, the one person whom they are supposed to trust completely, has been living a life of lies and deceit, because they suffer from a disease: sex addiction. This is a disease shrouded in secrecy and shame.
This is your go-to guide for what to do when you discover your partner is a sex addict. Each chapter is based on frequently asked questions by partners, such as: "Should I Stay or Should I Go?", "Is This Going to Get Better?", "How Do I Set Boundaries and Keep Myself Safe?", and "What Should I Tell the Kids?"

The phrase "broken heart" belies the real trauma behind the all-too-common occurrence of infidelity. Psychologist Dennis Ortman likens the psychological aftermath of sexual betrayal to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in its origin and symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, rage, emotional numbing, and flashbacks. Dr. Ortman sees recovery as a spiritual journey and draws on the wisdom of diverse faiths, from Christianity to Buddhism. He also offers exercises to deepen recovery, such as guided meditations and journaling.

To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include: confusing self-concern with selfishness; not making amends; using the program to try to become perfect; not getting help for relationship troubles; and believing that life should be easy. Allen Berger explores the 12 most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.

Love Sense presents new scientific evidence that tells us that humans are meant to mate for life. Dr. Johnson explains that romantic love is an attachment bond, just like that between mother and child, and shows us how to develop our "love sense" - our ability to develop long-lasting relationships. Love is not the least bit illogical or random, but actually an ordered and wise recipe for survival.

This book is a counselor on pages
I loved how the book covers so many aspects of the trauma that one can go through when their spouse betrays their trust through unwanted sexual betrayal. It makes it clear it’s not the partners fault and there are clear understandable explanations about why the betrayer does these things, the root, the responses etc. I feel like so many questions have been answered!

This book has been incredibly valuable as I travel this path. It explains so much about how I feel but didn’t understand. It explains logical steps to move forward and a thorough reinforcement that I’m not to blame, but can only progress through finding peace within myself. Great advice compiled from numerous leading researchers in the field.

In the book, the author states repeatedly that one person’s addiction is NOT the partner’s fault and the partner cannot control it. Not sure how people got that the author is alluding that the partner of the addict is responsible for the addiction.

A much needed read, I no longer feel alone.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is feeling lost or alone as a result of discovering your significant other’s sex addiction. For over a year I felt lost and went through many of the stages mentioned in this book. After multiple attempts to work things out, I decided to move on and it felt scary, I was not prepared and didn’t feel ready to make such a big decision. Chapter 13/15 did a wonderful job at helping me understand where to start, and now I am prepared to go on a long needed journey with myself. I will definitely listen to/read this again as there is so much more helpful information in many of the chapters to aid in moving forward from a painful spot anyone going through a similar situation has been going through. The narrator Deb Thomas did phenomenal in setting an insightful and comforting tone as the author meant for it to be. Thank you.
