Mending a Shattered Heart

Awesome book, it was good for me because it did cover how a man feels when his wife betrays him. Most books only speak of the man as the offender but when a Pastor's wife commits adultery how does the pastor feel?

A wonderful compilation of expertise and hope for individuals affected by loving a sex addict. When I give this to a client, I know s/he will find a wellspring of comfort.

Excellent

I highly recommend this well edited book by one of the experts in this field.

Amazingly Helpful and Insightful

What an amazing, helpful, honest and insightful book for a partner, spouse, or significant other of a sex addict. YES there is HOPE for you! Helpful insight, ideas, theory, and from a personal point of view. It gave me such hope, and I have been using many of the tools and ideas in my life, in my heart and mind to heal myself! My husband and I have both benefitted from it.

A great book for sexually addictive couples!

When a couple enters therapy and one partner exhibits sexually addictive behaviors, the non-addicted partner (co-addict) often asks me to "Fix my partner!" With all couples, however, I emphasize shared responsibility. When one partner has an addiction, they are an addicted couple. When the woman is pregnant, they are pregnant. When one has an affair, both share the burden of how to resolve it. I had the privilege of writing a chapter for this book called, "Straight Guise: Is My Partner Gay?" I hope my chapter will illustrated for couples that just because a male partner engages in sexual acts with another man does not mean he is gay nor bisexual. It also does not mean that the marriage has to be over even if he is, in fact, gay. This chapter outlines all things to consider before rushing into doing anything. More on my work with straight men who have sex with men at www.straightguise.com I hope this book does what it is intended to do and that is help the coaddict and the couple.
