This is a story about Anne. Devoted wife, home keeper, loving mother of 3 children...and victim of a terrible salacious affair where her husband and college sweetheart cheats on her with a woman from his workplace.
It's a true story of betrayal, destruction of trust and intimacy, the hellish realities of extramarital affairs...
And a story told from her husband's perspective.
"It's easy for me to play the martyr and shoulder all the blame, but I know Anne also made choices that pushed us apart. She put more energy into being a mother than into being a wife. She affirmed me less and criticized me more." - Anatomy of My Affair
Now don't read this story if you're looking for a happy ending. Because there isn't one.
The affair leads to a complete destruction of the marriage, 3 innocent children lose their daddy, and the whole thing is just one big mess.
But do read this if you're able to honestly ask yourself one question whilst reading this:
WHAT would it take for my husband to be unfaithful to me...and what can we do about that now?
This is the question to ask when it comes to safeguarding marriages in today's culture of divorce.
Because it recognises that despite our best intentions, if we don't work at âminding the gapsâ in our relationship, then our marriages will also be one of the 80% that end in divorce.
But it doesn't have to be this way, especially if you ask yourself this question, read the story, and then get to work to doing whatever it takes with your partner to block all the gaps in your relationship.
So with this by way of introduction, I invite you to bravely journey into this story.
See Anne's untold side of the story between the lines of her anonymous husband's account. Learn from their horrific experience.
And do whatever it takes to make sure your relationship doesn't suffer the same avoidable fate.
