Why a Betrayed Wife Cannot Afford to Be the Last to Know

Like many wives whose husbands are having extramarital affairs, Christie Brinkley was the last one to know that her husband, Peter Cook was cheating on her.

The statements below, taken from Christie's testimony during the sensational Brinkley-Cook divorce trial, make that clear.

'I felt really stupid. Why didn't I know? Why wasn't I aware of this."

" . . . all the while he was carrying on like this behind my back."

"I was shocked!"

These statements made by Christie are typical of the statements made by millions of unsuspecting wives after finding out about their husbands' extramarital affairs. It brings to mind that old saying, "The wife is always the last to know."

Unfortunately, that saying still holds true.

At least 2/3 of the women whose husbands are cheating on them have no idea their husbands are having an affair -- because they fail to recognize the telltale signs.

Help for Unsuspecting Wives

Yet no matter how carefully a cheater tries to cover his tracks, there are ALWAYS plenty of signs to be found. Knowing what to look for is the key.

That's one of the reasons I wrote Is He Cheating on You? - 829 Telltale Signs, which covers practically every known sign of infidelity, including the subtle signs women usually overlook. I firmly believe that if more women knew how to spot the signs of infidelity -- particularly the early warning signs - more marriages could be saved.

For marriages that can't be salvaged, spotting the sign of infidelity early on, and knowing that a divorce may be in the works, will give a betrayed wife enough lead time to take steps to minimize some of the damage infidelity can cause.
