BOOK REVEALS WHY MARRIED WOMEN ENGAGE IN EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIRS
MORE WOMEN TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE CONFESS TO SECRET TRYSTS
According to Susan Shapiro Barash, author of A PASSION FOR MORE: WIVES REVEAL THE AFFAIRS THAT MAKE OR BREAK THEIR MARRIAGES, women today explore extramarital relations with a sense of entitlement. “It is a time when women feel empowered, where their options are open. An affair is simply a form of expression of this independence and ascending self-esteem. “ explains gender expert Barash.
In A PASSION FOR MORE, four categories emerge that determine the type of affairs married women have:
- Empowering Affairs: With more opportunities for women today in every aspect of life, women now experience younger men and workplace affairs. This ‘boy-toy’ mentality of women combats a fear of aging.
- Sex-Driven Affairs: The marriage becomes old and sex dwindles. The major component of this type of affair is the sex: it is without boundaries or rules, an out of body experience for the women.
- Love Affairs: Unanticipated and heartbreaking, these affairs happen when women least expect them. Often they break up the marriage or are used as a wakeup call for the husband, to improve and battle for his wife to stay.
- Self Esteem Affairs: Women have lost their way, consumed with the responsibilities of child care and household duties. A lover makes them feel special in a way their husbands do not.
In this breakthrough book, told through personal stories interspersed with the comments of experts, Barash provides all that women need to know before embarking on an extramarital affair. For those who feel they would never stray, the book provides a first hand view of how women feel as their lives are forever altered by their encounters with the other man, their lover.
