Nice job without judgment and offering practical guidance.  Good luck and prepare for the bestseller list!  - When You’re the One Who Cheats offers something unique in today’s market: practical advice for the person participating in infidelity. Nelson offers up advice, counsel, and insight without judgment. This book covers every aspect of affairs from whether to tell your spouse to whether to end your clandestine relationship to whether to open your marriage and delves into the possible consequences of each choice. Nelson guides you through uncovering your motives and figuring out what comes next—for you, for your outside partner, and for your spouse. Whether you are participating in same-sex or other-sex infidelity encounters, this book offers the reader something unique: empathy, guidance, and understanding. Part self-help, part case study, and part confessional, this book is a must-read for anyone who’s ever cheated—or ever thought about it—and anyone who’s ever discovered their partner’s cheating.  Dr. Alicia M. Walker, assistant professor of sociology, and author of The Secret Life of the Cheating Wife: Power, Pragmatism, and Pleasure in Women's Infidelity   Sensitively written, wise, compassionate, non-judgmental and startlingly frank, Dr. Tammy Nelson has penned a bible for those who find themselves in the delicate position of being a "cheater."  When You're the One Who Cheats offers clear, open, respectful and unflinching advice to those who might have a hard time getting support from others for obvious reasons. I recommend this book to all those who've been impacted by infidelity, as well as those who only daydream about it. In Dr. Tammy, you'll find a fast friend who will help open your mind, heal your heart, and restore your soul to sanity. ~ Katherine Woodward Thomas, NY Times Bestselling Author of Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After When You’re the One Who Cheats is a profoundly wise and inspiring guide for unfaithful and betrayed partners who are struggling to make sense of their relationships, choose a direction, and rebuild their lives after an affair. Janis Abrahms Spring, Ph.D., author of After the Affair and How Can I Forgive You? Tammy Nelson has done it again! The expert who taught us that monogamy is a spectrum and a practice is back—with a timely, compassionate, and utterly necessary book full of insights that will challenge you and give you hope if you’re the one who “cheats”—or their partner. Read it if you crave a wholly fresh and non-judgmental take on love, desire, and what is possible, or yearn for a reliable compass on the complex path of a relationship that endures.  Wednesday Martin, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Primates of Park Avenue and UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity Is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free It’s no accident that most self-help books on what to do after infidelity focus on the needs of the betrayed partner. Only Tammy Nelson, who for years has urged couples to be more honest with each other about their needs and desires, would have the courage to write a self-help book for people who cheat. The book is relentlessly honest, and if you're looking for easy answers you'll be disappointed. But anyone looking for understanding, humanity, and utter lack of judgment will find much of value in this guide.  Stephen Snyder MD -- Author, Love Worth Making.
