"some people think im being paranoid and there is infidelity around every corner.... THERE IS!" you are 100% correct my friend i wish i would have discovered your work and website in august of 2010 when i married the most wonderful woman I have ever met 11 years later and now all the love busters and that negative love bank account and both of us having an affair its like trying to crawl back out of the pits of hell it self... thank you for all your content honestly the amount of information on your website could sale for thousands of dollars but truth is its invaluable thank you again

The thing i appreciate the most about this approach is he gives you a realistic time line of 2 years minimum and ACTUALLY WORKING if only one spouse is working this program it will fail trust me im in the middle of going through it with my WS and shes fighting it like hell there is no point in trying something like this if both partners arent on board its just going to cause the one putting the work in to get frustrated build resentment and we all know how resentment brings out the TAKER in us... But I can not thank you enough Dr Harley this is the best affair recovery/ marriage strengthening program I have seen to date God bless you and your wife

Interesting. Thank you for the video. My mother who was 96 when she died told me at an early age that breaking trust in a relationship was like having a crack in a coffee cup. You can forgive but you can never forget the break in the trust. Regarding the cup....you can continue to use the cup, but every time you pick it up you will remember because that damn crack never went away. I guess that is why the greatest thing beyond love is trust. Once it is broken, it is broken. Only my thoughts...

[@danieldeluca4936]

Interesting. The difference between a cheater and a man who has more than one wife, is honesty. The cheater pretends to be monogamous, while living a lie, whereas the man with two or more wives, is up front about his desire to take another wife, and makes sure that she is compatible with his existing wives.

I am 64. When I was 41 my husband came home. He told me he didn't love me and was leaving. We had been married 20 years and had 10,16 and 19 year old children. I was DEVASTATED! I knew he was acting differently but I just thought he was "going through something!" I tried to talk to him and help him but he was distant to me. After he moved out. I found out he left me for his mistress he'd been seeing for a year. I cried for years. It has changed me forever. That was 23 years ago. It still affects me. 😢I don't trust ANY MAN! I have never felt "good enough" since. My two younger ones at that time (both are girls) were especially heartbroken. They had no more daddy coming home. My son was 19 and was already living elsewhere. He wasn't as affected as my little girls. 😢 We were both Christians. He left Jesus and me. I heard from my children that he's now very sad and regretful of what he did. He's now 65. Please please don't do this to your spouse.

everything that this man said is 100% accurate. when I got cheated on I was literally traumatized by it! Every night or every 2 to 4 hours I would severely cry my eyes out even if I was out shopping or hanging with mates, it didn't matter where or what I was doing I had to have my 10 to 15 minutes of crying.

[@AuthorRobertRoots]

If you knew your own worth then you would not want to kill yourself over another person. The infedility was not the problem. The problem is your lack of self-esteem, self-confidence and for living in a fantasy and not reality. People make choices. The only way it could hurt is if you feel somehow a victim when you are not a victim. You decide how to feel and process life's experiences. You have to learn to move on and celebrate the opportunity to be free of someone who you feel unhappy with due to a choice they made. If you feel so bad that you want to kill yourself, then you do not love yourself so you cannot love another. Love starts within not from the outside.

That is something my husband would say, exact words... God is not ok with any sin, drinking, stealing, envy ect. Cheating doesn't in all cases mean the cheater doesn't love their partner, but all cases are different.

I don't think he is saying it is THE Absolute all-time worst thing for everyone, but instead, ONE OF the Absolute worst things, as reported by the vast majority of his patients. I'm sure it also depends on how betrayed & blindsided a person is by the betrayal, and probably how in-love with/ or dedicated to their straying spouse are at the time of the betrayal. I've known people who really didn't care much, were even relieved so they could get out of the marriage. So no, it's not the worst pain for everyone, but clearly it is a stunning, painful blow to most. Very sorry for the loss of your dear child. 🙏👼

For generations, men have believed that they can cheat on their wives because the wives have had no choice but to stay due to financial dependence. Ladies, speaking as an attorney of 35 years, here's my advice: Earn your own money. Never be financially dependent on any man. Always be prepared to support yourself and your children. I was widowed at a young age with 3 kids. Even with life insurance and savings, without my own ability to earn a good living, my kids would have suffered substantially. Earn your own money.

It's complicated. But that's not "why" men cheated back then (*because women worked at home/raising kids... didn't have a career). Cheating is a temptation, its forbidden fruit. It's a physical urge one chooses to control or not-- like anything else (which is his point in this talk, to protect your marriage relationship). More men cheat now on their working/business traveling wives than ever before (as Do women). No offence to your line of work, as we need good lawyers, but the field of Family law is a disgrace to the family. It has done more to damage children on every level-- especially A-bombing the relationship between their parents, killing the desire of Co-parenting/ getting along after the divorce is final.... than anything else. We all know Lawyers make more money when people are fighting (and bad family law lawyers fan those flames with precision ....) not when people are getting along and form a consensus.

This Toxic feminist narrative is exactly why our world is torn apart at the core. Absolutely horrible disgusting anti christ blathering

[@smokingcrab2290]

"for generations no one was happy and no good marriages existed and women literally lived in handmaidens tale" Wrong. All previous generations were largely Christian, and people had values they adhered to. That's not the case anymore. Men today have to work 10x than their grandfathers did for women that are 100x worse than their grandmothers were. And your advice to tell women to make their own money is also destructive because now women will be career boss girls instead of stay at home moms as they should be. Kids will be stuck in daycare while the mom burns herself at the expense of the marriage. Women get more welfare than all classes of people combined. They get food stamps, healthcare, diversity hires, affirmative action, scholarships and grants, constant simping to by every media, government, judicial, educational and mega corporate institution that exists. Women are hopelessly dependent on a world men built for the benefit of women - infrastructure, technology, public services, security, prosperity, economic growth, business, productive enterprise, transportation, resources, etc. You're backing yourself up into your own bullshit so bad the truck got stuck.

Infidelity also includes ..talking .. sharing n not being sensitive enuf not to keep thinking n mentioning about ur dead husband or wife..infront of ur new spouse. I strongly believe emotional infidelity is the worst kind of infidelity.

[@jazzyb3788]

Although I can see where he is coming from, I don't think Infidelity should be a law. Yes, it may hurt the betrayed spouse, but it is life. A death of a close friend or family member is equally as painful, as well. They are both a part of life. It will take some time to get over because you have lost that person, but you gain strength in yourself and become more independent.

[@mikhailodell2175]

I've been robbed, assaulted, in car accidents, disowned at times by family, but I agree the thing that has hurt the most was infidelity. The sad thing is the guy made her believe he cared, and so she felt used and I was hurt. I agree it should be illegal, he would be less likely to do what he did and guys like him had he had some kind of negative repercussion, but instead he gets off Scott free why our lives fall apart.

[@mikhailodell2175]

I can see your point, but infidelity can lead to suicide, and being robbed, assaulted, and alot of these other things doesn't guarantee death or even make it likely. I have lived through beeing robbed several times, and been assaulted on more then one occasion. My point wasn't which could end the worst in the worst case senerio, my point was in my experience infidelity has been the most painful, and longest lasting trial I've gone through, and if I had to pick being assaulted, robbed, or indefinitely I personally would take assaulted over the other two despite the risk.

[@mikhailodell2175]

Oh I've lived through 5 car accidents only one of which I walked away from with any lasting problems and just minor back pain that could be treated with medicine, I guess I could treat infidelity pain with alcohol or drugs, but not sure that would work in the long run. But, like you said any of these events could of taken my life so I guess they have the greatest consistent harm potential, and maybe someone else doesn't care about the partner and is only minorly effected or not at all, but for me so far it has been the worst thing that has happened to me

[@dolllady9177]

+Mikhail O'Dell There are lots of things one can go to jail for that are not life threatening and hurt people a lot less. Following your logic, one shouldn't go to jail for stealing either. The point is that infidelity PROFOUNDLY affects the psyche because a primary relational bond has been broken. Sometimes this results in PTSD. I can only speak about married ppl. The trauma is real, profound and lasting. When one is married, a BOND is supposed to form akin to a child TRUSTING that his parents will never hurt or abandon him. Imagine how it hurts a child to be abandoned by a parent. It's not the exact same but the level of intimacy and connection is the same.

[@mikhailodell2175]

Doll Lady Not to be rude, but not sure you even read what I've written, and your answer lacks intellectual merit. I never said stealing or child abandonment should be a crime. Furthermore child abandonment is a crime, and depending on the circumstances can land you not just in jail, but prison. My logic isn't to legalize none harmful crimes, it's to enforce the legal contract couples enter into like any other contract. Because of the harm infidelity does to a partner, and the children I think there should be consequences for the offender to help discourage such destructive behavior. Doing so does not require we not jail people who commit other crimes, and I'm not sure how or well where your invented thought process developed from.

[@danieldeluca4936]

So he divorced you? Or are you using some unbiblical definition of infidelity?

[@d.m.c3556]

My husband had a online afair. Talking, private pictures. He said it all started when started talking and not sure when it went that far. I have asked many questions. I knew something was up as he wasnt the same. I even said it. I found out by finding the pictures and called her right up. I'm not thinking of having a afair. Still in this marriage it's only 6 days new.

[@SearingSeraph]

Perhaps they only say that (for the ones that have gone through stressful situations) because finding that love was their saving grace that was burned before them and so they drop in a deeper depression than otherwise

[@mapzilla]

Sometimes a relationship becomes so sour that the thought of having sex with one's spouse feels dirty. The thought of the spouse secretly finding love elsewhere is actually more exciting. Especially when kids are involved, the best case scenario when the divorce happens is to have the immediate spouse replacement ready to fill in. Saves from having to pay allimony if she/he marries them. The best case scenario for a doomed marriage. Truth stings.

[@smokingcrab2290]

I'm so disappointed with women in general because of my experience with them that I could never dream of cheating. The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach because not only would I be destroying my family, but anyone else who would give me the time of day would also end up neglecting me eventually too. I just don't trust women at all anymore. They are nothing but glorified children who live life through a myriad of psychological tactics and manipulation to get what they want at the expense of men, and in many cases even their own children.

I never be the same it will be pain in my heart until i die Iam a broken man and she never have a man that will trust her and love her the way i did before. Dont know how long we will last iam broken and theirs no fixing it sin has a price she cheated now she will live with its results it did not make her life good it made it horrible

[@trehannas]

Thats all my husband was trying to say is that two people have to be one and put their marriage first so that they can be the best parents and have a strong unshakable family bond. If you put children first and only have time to run around tending to them, neglecting your partner, and best friend, your too tired or stressed or overworked When the two of you are arguing, partner is falling for someone else and you are wondering how you got there and children are blaming themselves what then?

Sitting with the betrayed spouse in their pain? Holding space for their anger and responding with compassion?

We often get too caught up within the hustle and bustle of everyday work, bills, what thee children or other family members need society and keeping up with their ideas of what success is.

Good men should have more wives. Lousy men should not have any. Laws against bigamy, need to be changed to allow consensual polygyny!

[@Savolitutu]

In the first few minutes you absolutely described the two things I went through and also concluded: (1) the affair was worse than the rape I had and it is because a person doesn't have a high level of trust invested in the rapist as she does her husband nor the daily interaction the wife has with the husband; and (2) taking away a wife's ability to sue for damages the woman who made the choice to be in that position of mistress coupled with some of the crap promoted by the feminist movement and you have a lethal cocktail of infidelity that a lot of men will choose to drink. We have lost so much culturally by allowing European thinking to influence the institution of marriage in this country. Just take a look at the Scandinavian countries and how they are devolving with incorporating all of these ideas that "one can do whatever one wants to do" as if that means no one should be allowed to be hurt by someone else's poor choices.

[@ThePossumone]

yes - it used to be that we had laws, morals, marriage was a sacred and protected institution. Not now - anything goes, and we all pay the price for this, every one of us.

[@smokingcrab2290]

[@smokingcrab2290]

What's worse is the woman can cheat on the man and then the judicial system will side with her 100% even with proof of infidelity and she will take the children, all of the husbands net worth, all the money he makes the rest of his life for alimony and child support, and then she will get free Healthcare and food stamps the rest of her life and she won't have to do a damn thing. Not only does her husband pay for the damage she caused. But men all over the country pay for it with their taxes. It's sick.

[@rosacarr6386]

That's a pretty bold statement. To say infidelity is the worse thing a person can to through is false. It might be for some ppl but not everybody. There's no way getting cheated on would be rougher for me than if I lost a child. It's worse than rape?? Come on...let me tell you. I've had a challenging life and being cheated on was one of easiest things I had to overcome. I was sexually abused by 4different pigs by age 7. I was physically abused and emotionally neglected. Those are just some examples of things that were so horrific I'd rather get cheated on. I didn't personalize it. It had nothing to do with me. A man can have the most beautiful woman in the world and he would still cheat. People who think it should be a crime must be so insecure. I do believe it's wrong and hurtful but not the worse betrayal, not by heart

[@atomicgeisha]

You can't. The only 100% way is to divorce so they aren't your spouse anymore. Sucks, doesn't it?

... Excuse me? A mother or father losing their CHILD is less terrible than an affair? Seriously? Most people would DIE for their children. They wouldn't die over an affair, as horrific as that is. And you can't compare it to rape. Infidelity is heinous and disgusting, but it is not comparable to the death or a child or to physical abuse or rape. They are all very different.
