Any quick guides on preventing affairs?**edited by MNHQ at OP's request

[Fearandsurprise]

Can anyone recommend a blog page / leaflet or similar that outlines to someone why and how not to start an affair? E.g. pain to family, pain to future self, loss of credibility etc. Something straight talking and quick to read.

Old threads had recommended this e-book lindajmacdonald.squarespace.com/publications/who-will-you-become but it is a bit long and spiritual.

Others had suggested Shirley Glass Just Good Friends www.shirleyglass.com/book.htm but even the description of the book on her website is rather long.

This, recommended by a poster on my other thread, is the type of thing I mean. This one looks good for people with a young family www.careforthefamily.org.uk/family-life/couple-support/articles/the-ten-second-rule

Can anyone suggest something similar that might resonate with people with adult children or no children?

Haha - amazing autocorrect in the heading. Should be “guides” not quinces! Although, quinces also welcome!

Here’s a quick guide

Keep your knickers on and block their number.
Sorted.

Maybe we should get that printed on some small cards to hand out!

I was looking for something to send to a Male friend who looks like he’s on the edge of starting something with a work colleague, so blocking the number might not work. The keeping your knickers / pants on part would though!

Search the emotionalaffair.org website. Lots of insight from former cheater Doug in conversation with his wife Linda (who he cheated on by having an emotional affair with a work colleague). Doug's voice is really powerful and might be able to reach someone teetering towards the brink without scolding them and telling them they're an awful person (which just leads to the chearer/would-be cheater closing off more and reaching for the comfort of the affair).
