This is the first book that goes straight to the source—cheating men—to investigate the fundamental reasons of why men stray. Does cheating happen because of sexual dissatisfaction, emotional dissatisfaction, or something else that has remained largely unexamined? THE TRUTH ABOUT CHEATING: Why Men Stray and What You Can Do to Prevent It (Wiley, September 2008; $24.95 / Cloth; ISBN: 978-0-470-11463-6) presents provocative and fascinating answers to these questions—answers that can truly strengthen marriages and save married partners from unnecessary hardship.

We may think we know why men cheat but is it possible that we don’t really know why they do? In this groundbreaking book, experienced family counselor M. Gary Neuman examines the common misconceptions and misunderstandings about cheating, explores the unexpected reasons why men cheat, and shows how adultery can be prevented. In THE TRUTH ABOUT CHEATING, Neuman shares the revealing and surprising findings of a cutting-edge research study in which he interviewed and studied close to 100 men who have physically cheated on their wives and also close to 100 men who have remained faithful to their wives.

Fidelity is one of the primary issues in marriage. Statistics show that rich or poor, at every level of education and from every walk of society, approximately 50% of married men cheat. Moreover, 68% of adulterous men never admit to cheating or they only confess after their wives have caught them in the act. Clearly, infidelity is a major problem in our society.   

Drawing from his extensive research and dramatic case studies of the author’s research subjects, THE TRUTH ABOUT CHEATING includes efficient, practical strategies and quick action steps for married women that will help them prevent infidelity and foster a faithful and rewarding marriage.
