The idea for this week’s discussion unfortunately came from one of the persons that Linda has been mentoring for the last several months. It had appeared that this person and her cheating spouse were on their way to working things out and rebuilding their relationship after his infidelity that occurred a couple of years back. [...]
One of the results of our survey that we conducted a week or so ago that stood out for me was that nearly 20% of the respondents were unsure as to whether or not their cheating spouse’s affair was indeed over. Catching a cheating spouse can certainly prove to be a challenge as their are [...]
