The information about the cited brain chemicals of romance was mind-wrenching – especially the so short Time-Periods of the chemical flows. But the links to the short writings used to illustrate the text were also emotionally traumatic for me. The one – "Soul Rot" – evoked memories of my past relationship that were so vivid I almost cried (again). Mel - Sydney

Immediately after I found out (from a girl friend) that my husband had cheated – I filed for a divorce. Mean – who could live with a liar. After reading the Handbook I now have a lot more empathy. Maybe if I wasn’t so crazy about the issue – he wouldn’t have had to lie to me.

My partner cheats all the time – and I could care less. Except they tell me when they have a date for the night or overnight – so I’m not sure it qualifies as ‘cheating’. We have a great life together. Why should I begrudge them a little emotional and physical variety and excitement. Going out with someone else doesn’t ring my bell – and that’s OK as well.

When you take an oath to remain faithful – that’s it. Period. End of story.

I liked the one person’s quip that said if they didn’t cheat frequently they would get brain dead and have to leave their partner and family. I have the exact same feelings. I need the excitement – the change – to remain sane.

I’m a ranking executive at a good sized company. When I found out that my husband was having an affair with my (female) boss – I was stunned. I left both him and the company. Good riddance I say.
