Click hereDr. Branden forced herself to answer calmly. "I'm afraid we're going to have to stop for today, Dan. But let me say one thing to you, please.
"I don't tell my patients what to do or make their decisions for them. Susan and I discussed for weeks whether she should confess the affair to you, and we examined all sides of it: the pros and cons of confession and of silence.
"She was simply unable to tell you about it back in August, when she was just coming out of her depression; she was far too fragile. And by the time we had discussed it thoroughly it was two months later. Things were going very well for the two of you, and Susan concluded it would be far better to leave it in the past. She didn't want to hurt you needlessly.
"It was not an unreasonable decision, in my opinion," she concluded, in an authoritative tone. "None of us anticipated that something like this would ever happen."
Dan glared at her coldly, his arms crossed over his chest. It was clear that he did not share her opinion in the least.

Anonymous9 days agoHee hee, "do the DNA test!" WTF what for? some people just cannot read that is for sure.
Now on a serious note, love the emotion, could be even more hardcore but still comes across strong. Cannot for the life of me see them getting over this; but hey the author can do what he wants and there will always be unhappy little campers with the cutthroat slashing away.
Not quite 5 but a solid 4 stars from me.
Anonymousabout 2 months agoAmazing that this commenter "TrainerOfBimbos" is again giving his wise advice for other readers and commenters.
Dear commenter, your statements about the therapist are causally incorrect. A therapist not only opens up the possibility of insight into a problem, he also guides his patient in the right direction for him. And in this case that would certainly have been admitting to the affair. It's amazing that so often people believe that they don't have to take responsibility for the mistakes they make. Unfortunately, our society tends to avoid it.
Dan's attitude is a purely protective attitude that every person who has been deeply psychologically and emotionally injured usually shows. But he also has every right to do so.
TrainerOfBimbos3 months agoWow, the delusional "anonymous" commentators are out in full force here. First off, the therapist is doing a fine job. They don't tell people what to do, they help them examine the situation so that they can make their own decision. Dan blaming her is just him being angry and a dick.

Also, there's no indication that Susan is a "slut". She had a traumatic experience - a man, well not just any man, but a man with a significant position of power over her became her trusted confident and then abused that confidence and his position to start a sexual relationship with her. Without a doubt, she was victimized.
Anonymous3 months agoWhy is he even bothering? The fact is given certain circumstances...she will cheat. Lie. Keep things like a long term affair a secret. Even brag about it to her BFF Diana. Even her big effort 2 years prior to start their healing process as a couple? Where she apologizes and rededicates herself to him and their marriage? He finds out that as recently as 2 days before that she was fucking Teddy in one last "goodbye" fuck.
Divorce is the ONLY answer for this situation.
Anonymous4 months agoFor fucking pages plus a part 2, too fucking long!! How fucking long does the cuck husband need to deal with the skank wife and Teddy. Do the fucking DNA test cucky hubby
Anonymous5 months agoNot the first story I've seen this kind of plot device but I still don't understand how the answer to coping with a shared grief is closing yourself off from your partner and running into a stranger's arms. How does that help exactly? That's the dumbest and most selfish thing ever. At least she can't have kids so there's some karma there. Bitch like that doesn't deserve to be a mother. Yeah, harsh, I know. Bite me. Dump the damaged goods slut and move on Dan. You deserve better.
Anonymous6 months agoOMG, the delusional people in these comments saying that this "proves" how Therapy is "evil" and that it's all a sham, etc. I swear these people need therapy because they can't objectively look at the facts - the therapist helped Susan conquer her depression, end her affair and recommit to her marriage. Pretty much exactly what you would expect a good therapist to do. Ultimately the decision to tell or not tell was Susans. Therapists don't tell people want to do, that's not how it works and yes, I actually agree with the Dr. here - it's a reasonable thing to not tell if the only reason you want to tell is to assuage your own guilt at the expense of hurting your spouse. If Susan was STILL cheating and NOT telling, then that's not reasonable. In fact, it's basically flirting with disaster and I'm sure that's what the Dr. would have told her too. The inability of most of the commentators in this section of the web site to have any sort of nuance is absolutely SHOCKING. I really went through most of my life thinking that people were reasonably intelligent on average, but clearly that's not the case. Reading comments here for the last few days has been a real eye opener!
Anonymous8 months agoRead down to where the story mentions the wreck that took the fetus and ruined her ability to have children. Now I'm not positive, but I'm about 95% sure this will be what her therpist helps her uncover as the reason for whatever infidelity that is soon to be found out by her husband. Maybe I'm wrong...but I'll read on.
Anonymous11 months agoNicely done, and nice way to put the QUACK into the picture!
Freud would be PROUD at how you shoved the "good" doctor's face in the SHIT the she helped to create!
Anonymousabout 1 year agoThis is a perfect example of how “therapy” is EVIL!!! The wife should have been told to repent, part of which is confessing the sin to the person she wronged. Does that mean that she might lose her husband? Yes, but it is the right thing to do, and the only chance for forgiveness.
