Zelda West-Meads looks at how affairs operate from every perspective - their history, the different reasons for affairs, when marriages are particularly vulnerable, and why almost as many women as men are now being unfaithful. With over 20 years' experience in relationship counselling she gives her strategies for resisting temptation, spotting the tell-tale signs, helping your marriage to survive or, if need be, coping with its demise. Illustrated with case histories, this is a guide to a potentially devastating problem.
