You’ve heard it before: Your friend’s husband is acting distant, and she blames herself. Rumor starts to spread that he’s running around with his secretary, and still your friend doesn’t see. Then he drops the Bomb, moves out–and is soon happily remarried to his mistress. How could your friend have been so blind? That could never happen to you.

Statistics show that 35% of husbands cheat on their wives. In The Script, Elizabeth Landers and Vicky Mainzer take readers through the standard lines that have been used by hundreds of unfaithful husbands.

Like a screenplay for a movie you never wanted to see, The Script indicates which signs to look for, red flags you might not have noticed before, and how to turn the tide of disaster before it’s too late.
