Not 'Just Friends': Rebuilding Trust and Recovering Your Sanity After Infidelity

I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who's spouse (or significant other) has cheated on them. I have been involved in a DivorceCare class at a local church (HIGHLY recommend that too if you are separated/divorced!) and this book was on their website resource list. This book is very in-depth and very thorough. The author Glass has many years of counseling and research experience with infidelity and she covers the topic from all sides of the spouse-cheating spouse-affair partner triangle. I have loaned this out & recommended it to several acquaintenances in similar positions and it has been instrumental in my healing over the past several months. While my STBX has no interest in reconciling, there is a WONDERFUL section of this book devoted to spouses seeking to reconcile, with detailed recommendations on the process that should be involved in reconciliation. On the whole, the subtitle really does ring true - I felt like I was going crazy trying to deal with this and this book helped me in so many ways to understand that it was not "all about me" as my STBX would have me believe, but it was really mostly about HIS issues. Written from a Biblical viewpoint.
