As an infidelity expert who has been researching infidelity for the past 15 years, I am frequently called on by the media to comment on high profile infidelity and popular infidelity issues in the news. I think it is commendable for Elizabeth Edwards to share her intimate thoughts about her husband’s affair and its effect on her, and to speak so candidly about it in her interview with Oprah today.  By doing so, she has performed a valuable service to betrayed wives and other women with cheating mates. Usually the media coverage of high profile infidelity is all about the cheater  — who he is, why he did it, how he got caught, what it will mean to his career.  The betrayed wife’s voice is seldom heard.  Elizabeth has shown the public a side of infidelity that is seldom seen.  Betrayed wives need to know that they are not alone in what they are feeling or experiencing.  Men who are cheating, or who have cheated on their wives need to see and hear firsthand the hurt, humiliation and heartbreak they inflict when they get involved in extramarital affairs.  I feel that Elizabeth’s book and her interview with Oprah will help focus attention on aspects of infidelity that usually go unnoticed or ignored.  Further comments and insights based on portions of the book  that have been leaked to the public thus far, are posted on my blogs at  http://infidelitynewsandviews.blogspot.com and www.InfidelityAdvice.com
