Signs of a Cheating Spouse: 46 Clues Your Partner is Having an Affair
Dr. Huizenga here.
An affair is devastating.
It rips out your heart and erases your dreams for your marriage, family and life.
If you suspect your spouse is having an affair – and I assume that might be the reason you are here – I want you to know that resources are available that guide and offer support for your most terrifying moments.
I’ve received countless emails and have had almost as many conversations in which I’ve heard, “I wish I would have had this information earlier. It would have saved me a ton of mistakes, pain and heartbreak.”
If you are like most, you will encounter two powerful forces if your spouse IS having an affair.
- First, you will tend to blame yourself, wondering what you could have said or done to prevent it. You will doubt your self worth and your confidence will sink.
- Second, you will make mistakes. You will say or do that which perhaps fuels the flame of the affair or drives your spouse further away.
I’ve written a short ebook and ecourse which have addressed these concerns for literally thousands over the past ten years online.
“Don’t Shame on You” helps you with self blame.
“The 6 Killer Mistakes” outlines the common mistakes that get you off on absolutely the wrong foot in dealing with the affair.
Both of these beginning resources are available for no cost.
So, read the clues and then make sure you sign up for the “Don’t Shame on You” and “The 6 Killer Mistakes” offered at the end of the clues.
Wishing you the best,
Bob
