Having an Affair?: A Handbook for the "Other Woman"

Rate this book
Why do men cheat? Why do wives ignore the warning signs? Why do mistresses believe the lies?

In this powerful and evocative presentation, author Sarah Symonds, herself victim to the clever web of deceipt woven by a married man, unleases exceptional insight into a topic that is most often kept behind closed doors.

Wives suffer silently and stoically, mistresses are lured into a holding pattern without promise, and men gamble their entire careers and personal lives on exciting trysts that are bound to be uncovered.

Not a guide to having an affair, but rather a warning to women everywhere about the telltale signs and emotional bondage that cripples their lives.

Ms. Symonds is dedicated to supporting women trapped in these destructive relationships, shedding light on this dark place, and opening a doorway to a new life, free from damage and open to true love.

I'm only here because I know a b*tch who would probably enjoy this book, and I'm petty enough to send it to her.

Sup, Linds? 😉😘

Found this in a library and read it cause I thought it was funny that there was a book like this and it really was. I finished it for some reason but it was funnyyyyy so it was almost worth reading all of the whining.

I read this book at a time in my life I needed guidance on this subject and didn't know whom to turn to.
The author has her own style of writing, I din't like it much because i felt like she was saying - use your married man as he's using you and get as much material benefits from this situation as you can. Sorry, not the info I was looking for.
But an interesting view of the subject nonetheless.
