When Good People Have Affairs: Inside the Hearts & Minds of People in Two Relationships by Mira Kirshenbaum

2.0

How to live in fear and manipulativeness. Two stars only for not stigmatizing affairs and including gay couples. Advocates lying to your partner and ex-lover. Just terrible. An anthropologists nightmare. “Save your pity for the poor people in Africa” is a literal line of this book. Riddled with fatphobia. If you want to live your life from a place of normalcy and fear, read this. If you want to live your life from a place of truth, political awareness, and transformation, read Rethinking Infidelity by Esther Perel instead. Reductionist as hell. Poor psychology. Frued would be disappointed.
