Rating: Summary: disappointing Review: I expected more information than this book gave. I believe journaling is good to do, but without a therapist to keep you honest, it's very easy to write denials, fantasies and justifications. This book does not help the other woman whose relationship IS moving forward toward breakup of his marriage and probable union afterward. I would have liked more information on how to tell the difference between if it's real or a big mistake. There is just not enough information and mostly blank pages. Save your money and get a blank book from the dollar store...
Rating: Summary: This is a must have for anyone in an extramarital affair Review: I have been involved with a married man for almost 7 years and had two children with him. This journal was amazing for me. I thought I was the only woman who had been through an affair and felt the way I felt. I was so wrong! I highly recomend this journal but only if you are ready for soul searching.
Rating: Summary: This is a must have for anyone in an extramarital affair Review: Unlike the last reviewer, I found this to be a helpful guide. I read Ms. Gough's book as well and I think one thing Ms. Gough seems to pride herself on is that she is not here to tell us what to do, but instead to give us information to help us make our own decisions. I didn't expect the journal to tell me whether or not it was right or wrong for me to be with my married lover. Instead, it gave me a chance to express my feelings and then be able to go back and reflect on them at a later date so I could make my own decisions about what I wanted out of this relationship and my life. I took it with me to my therapist several times, and she also thought it was helpful. I thought that this was a great way to journal, I am a person who has always wanted to journal, but needed some kind of structure to help me along with the process. I would definitely recommend this journal.
