Story
Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life is a no-nonsense self-help guide for anyone who has ever been cheated on. Here's advice not based on saving your relationship after infidelity - but saving your sanity. When it comes to cheating, a lot of the attention is focused on cheaters - their unmet needs or their challenges with monogamy. But Tracy Schorn (aka Chump Lady) lampoons such blameshifting and puts the focus squarely on the cheated-upon (chumps) and their needs.

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.

Betrayal has many faces, including anger, abuse, deceit, and infidelity. These feel like betrayal because they violate the implicit promise of emotional bonds, that your loved one will care about your well-being and never intentionally hurt you. If you've recently left a relationship where you felt betrayed by your partner, you may have difficulty moving on. In fact, it can seem impossible to view the world without the shadow of past betrayal hovering over you. As a result, you may struggle to create meaning in your life and to build new, loving relationships.

Nothing destroys trust like sexual betrayal. Beyond broken vows, a woman who discovers that her husband has been viewing pornography or having an affair must deal with devastating blows to her self-image and self-worth. She must grapple with the fact that the man she thought she knew has lied and deceived her. She may even bear the brunt of shame and judgment when the people around her find out.

You've discovered that your husband has cheated on you. Maybe, you've discovered incriminating emails or text messages from his lover, or worse, you have actually seen them together. Your world is crashing down. You feel like a nuclear bomb just decimated your entire world, and you are trying to shield yourself from the fallout. This is very likely the most painful experience you've ever had. You've been sucker-punched in the soul. Infidelity in marriage makes you doubt everything, including your own judgement.

Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limits and limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?

Publisher's Summary
The phrase "broken heart" belies the real trauma behind the all-too-common occurrence of infidelity. Psychologist Dennis Ortman likens the psychological aftermath of sexual betrayal to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in its origin and symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, rage, emotional numbing, and flashbacks. Using PTSD treatment as a model, Dr. Ortman will show you, step by step, how to:
- Work through conflicting emotions
- Understand yourself and your partner
- Make important life decisions
Dr. Ortman sees recovery as a spiritual journey and draws on the wisdom of diverse faiths, from Christianity to Buddhism. He also offers exercises to deepen recovery, such as guided meditations and journaling, and explores heart-wrenchingly familiar case studies of couples struggling with monogamy. By the end of this book, you will have completed the six stages of healing and emerged with a whole heart, a full spirit, and the freedom to love again.

Religious Slant Takes Away from Seriousness
People suffering from something like being on the receiving end of infidelity (which is completely and totally devastating) do not want to hear some Buddhist monk nonsense. Not are Bible verses appropriate. And yes, I agree with other reviewers the fact that this author was a cheater is a total turn-off. This book is out your forgiving the one who turned your life completely upside down. Naturally the author fixates on that having been one himself.

Probably better in print
This book has a lot of numbered lists, and some of these bullets are very long. It is very easy to lose your place in the lists, and very difficult to navigate the list for reference. It just doesn’t lend well to an audiobook.
The book is read in a very monotonous tone.

Read the Bible instead?
This book fell flat for me at a time where I really wanted to learn some coping skills for post-infidelity living. The author seemed to believe that he was a transcendent monk and really wanted to just quote the Bible. Useless for an agnostic like me.

This Book Was My Saving Grace
Nearly 4 months in and it still hurts and I'm angry a lot. This book has allowed me to recognize this is normal and to have lots of grace with myself. This book has broken down so many feelings I'm experiencing and ones I wasn't even aware of. There were moments I would be bawling my eyes out while listening, but it felt like crying yourself out to a friend. I never felt blamed. I never felt judged. I felt heard. I'm still on the path towards forgiveness and healing but I feel like this book has helped me understand what that path will be like in a realistic manner so that I don't keep beating myself up for not getting to the end goal fast enough.
