Attempting R after 6 years of lies

Hi L&H, I found this one on line and emailed the link to my WH. He bought it but took forever to finish reading it and that slowed our R down. I think if your H is committed to R and reads this book quickly it can be very helpful (it's only 147 pages). It is best to have the WS read this particular book, at least at first. She gives some very practical advice for the WS on how to take control of the healing process and help the BS recover, among other things. She adds Biblical references, which can be skipped over if that's not your S's thing.
The book that made the biggest difference for my H was one called "Unfaithful" by Gary and Mona Shriver. It also has a Christian basis and it is excellent. This couple shares their "journey" and I think for my H, reading Gary's (the WS) insights was very helpful.
Good luck.

I would recommend that book for the WS, but not for the BS. It will tell a lot of things that the BS is feeling, and how to adress them. It is very action oriented on the part of the WS, and a BS reading it will likely form expectations that a WS will not meet. I really doubt anyone does everything in that book. Even the authors H did not do everything and they are reconcilled.
For the WS who feels they have no idea how to fix it, there will be lots of advice to choose from, and if they do even 10% (or 5%) of what the book recommends, they will likely improve their chances of R man times over, providing that ending the A is among the 5% of things they do.
Your mileage may vary... in accordance with the prophecy.
Do not back up. Severe tire damage.
