Synopsis

You’re right to be cautious when you hear these words: “I’m telling you, we’re just friends.”Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for “friendships” that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. 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.“Not ‘Just Friends’ puts a new face on infidelity. The author, using clinical experience and current research, broadens its definition, causes, and means of resolution. I recommend it for anyone considering an affair, in an affair, or recovering from an affair.” —Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., author of Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples“A must-read for anyone who ever hopes to be happy in a long-term relationship.” —Pat Love, Ed.D., author of The Truth About Love and Hot Monogamy

I am a polyamorous relationship anarchist who has repeatedly been the other woman in an affair, starting with emotional and incestuous abuse by my father.

Goodreads review by Michael on March 17, 2021

I'm writing as a couples therapist. This book does give some great resources and mindsets to rebuild trust and how to have difficult conversation after an affair. She does bring up many areas and themes I see in my office. However I find some of the research dated, in two ways. One in a heavy focus......more
