ABSTRACT

Cindy was in a state of shock and disbelief . But the evidence that she had discovered on John’s computer was disturbingly conclusive . Raunchy e-mails from one of his lovers, the exchange of sexually explicit photographs, accessing pornographic Web sites and video chat rooms were some of the activities that had taken up so much of his time . How foolish she now felt . Despite her loneliness and frustration at his long hours at “work,” she was supportive of his business pursuits . At times, she was acutely aware of his emotional distance but attributed it to work stress . How could she have been so stupid? After 15 years of marriage, how dare he? The sudden realization of months of deceit ripped through her like a sword .
