Detect Infidelity, Rebuild Love, & Affair-Proof Your Relationship
In today’s technology-driven world, it’s shockingly easy to slide down the slippery slope from an innocent “friendship” to a full-blown affair. Gratification can be immediate and accessibility is instant. Through the Internet and cell phones, affairs can start and blossom in the very place you hold sacred—your own home. One flirtatious comment, an overly solicitous remark, an intimate confession, and you or your partner may be swept up in a tide of addictive emotions that can blur the boundaries between platonic and sexual. The brain chemicals released from merely exchanging online flirtations can be as addictive as drugs, and can very quickly lead to an affair.
Is your relationship vulnerable?
- Is something “off” between the two of you?
- Are the two of you spending less time together, either due to children, work, or simply growing apart?
- Do you long for more emotional and/or sexual attention from your partner at home?
- When you’re with your partner, do you feel bored, detached, bitter, or just plain lonely? Do they?
- Is there a big question mark in your mind and heart about your current relationship?
- Are you or your partner suddenly wanting to seek stimulation elsewhere, to shake things up, get the excitement pumping, and feel more alive?
- Do you or your partner spend hours on the Internet, networking in chat rooms, socializing on Facebook, tweeting, texting, or emailing friends?

Dr. Sheri Meyers book, CHATTING or CHEATING? From Infidelity Discovery to Relationship Recovery is a highly contemporary look at relationship dynamics that have deep implications to marriages and committed relationships. From Facebook to DINKs (dual income no kids), from meeting an ‘ex’ to soccer moms and dads, the challenges and opportunities for roaming have increased as have the pressures of our society, our economy, and our diminished sense of connection to an extended family or sense of community. Those pressures and feelings of isolation are the fodder for drifting from friendly chatting with a co-worker, Facebook friend, or other online buddy to what Sheri calls ‘Emotional Sex’ and a form of cheating even when there’s no physical contact.
If a reader wonders if their relationship may be headed toward or has already run into a form of infidelity, Dr. Meyers has a number of checklists and ‘red flags’ to do quick diagnostics on themselves or their relationship. The book is sprinkled with brief vignettes drawn from the author’s counseling experience with countless couples whose relationship has hit the wall and have walked the path back to a more intimate and loving bond. She describes and three S’s (Secrecy, Sharing Intimacy, and Sexual Energy) that should be kept within the relationship and can signal a problem when one of them becomes part of a connection with another person.
On a practical level ‘Chatting or Cheating’ leads the reader through what to do if you suspect or find evidence of cheating; how to inquire, how to have that difficult conversations; and how to heal and repair a damaged relationship.
Written in a non-technical and very readable form, Chatting or Cheating is an essential for all therapists, and a must read for anyone who wonders about the health of their committed relationship.
This thought-provoking book vividly illustrates some of the slippery pitfalls that lead a person from seeming innocent flirting (over coffee or over cyberspace) to actions that damage families, loved ones, self-esteem, and the course of one’s life. I highly recommend this book to every adult, because what you don’t know about that slippery slope can happen to any relationship.
Written in a non-technical and very readable form, Chatting or Cheating is an essential for all therapists, and a must read for anyone who wonders about the health of their committed relationship. I’m very impressed with the tremendous contribution your book will make to our profession and to couples everywhere.
