Looking for the answers? Some are here, but not for everyone. Only if you are willing to look at yourself and your part in the infidelity experienced will what the author describes be meaningful. "A marriage that has endured an affair is like a cracked vase. When the crack is repaired, the superglue makes it stronger than before, but you will always be able to see evidence of the crack." So if you don't like the crack in the vase, you toss out the vase; you get divorced. If you still cherish the vase deciding to keep it;you continue on but it will be different. There are good questions to evaluate if your relationship is vulnerable to infidelity. Great book for either the betrayed partner or the unfaithful partner. Great book to know the symptoms of infidelity and how to prevent. Has a chapter for those who have divorced due to infidelity and how to get on with your life and regain sanity. There is lots and lots of stories throughout the book which point to forgiving and moving forward.
