Oprah: The Truth About Cheating

Last week, Oprah had relationship expert M. Gary Neuman on her show, and there has been a lot of buzz created because of it. Neuman is the author of the book The Truth about Cheating: Why Men Stray and What You Can Do to Prevent It and he took a lot of slack for some of what he had to say.

I thought his book was great, and I highly suggest that you grab a copy. If you watched the show, you know that he was giving it away for FREE for 2 days, but that time has long since passed.

Unfortunately, now the only way to grab a copy of the book is to pay for it. You can click below to buy a copy for yourself.



A lot of the controversy that surrounded the show was how different people interpreted what Neuman was saying. See, Neuman pointed out that in his research, he found that men didn't always cheat for sex, but rather because they were not feeling emotionally connected at home.

A lot of women felt that he was making excuses for men cheating, and giving them an out, all the while placing blame on women for their husband's affair.

I do not think this was the case at all. Rather, I think Neuman was pointing out that men are not just about sex, and that they do have certain emotional needs that need to be tended to. Similar to women, men need to feel an appreciation from their spouse, and a sense of value and importance.

In his study, which encompassed over 25,000 men, men really needed to feel important. Men are built with a desire to compete, and part of that is winning. It's important for a man to feel like a winner. At a minimum, he at least needs to be in the game.

Do you ever notice how passionate men get about sports? They get crazy involved, like they have some sort of stake in the outcome. But what about when the game is a blowout, or they feel there isn't enough time to come back? The bubble kind of bursts, and the room gets a little quiet. They lose interest in the game because they (their team) has lost or are out of it.

"The Truth About Cheating" is an excellent book that covers a lot of great topics to help prevent affairs, catch affairs, and recover from affairs. It's a perfect compliment to "Cheating Spouses Revealed". You can pick up "The Truth About Cheating" by clicking below.
