Private Lies : Infidelity and the Betrayal of Intimacy / Frank Pittman. – New York : W.W. Norton and Company, Inc., 1989. – 309 p. – ISBN 0-393-02634-5.

Infidelity is the most common major crisis of marriage. It can be justification for divorce, murder - even suicide. We struggle to keep it from happening to us, and we are devastated when it does. Why do half the people in marriages have affairs? What problems are they trying to solve? Using actual case studies, as well as examples from music, literature, and film - from Shakespeare toWagner, from "Don Giovanni" to "Fatal Attraction" - Dr. Pittman illustrates marriages at their moments of greatest stress and identifies four basic patterns of infidelity: the accidental encounter ("it just happened"); habitual philandering; marital arrangements (accomodations when couples need distance in the marriage); nd romance (that in-love craziness). We learn the various meanings of affairs, when they are most likely to occur, and about those by-products of infidelity - jealousy and guilt. This wise book also defuses our persistent myths about infidelity and suggests how to make a marriage work. "It`s not so much the sex as the secrecy that causes the crisis," Dr. Pittman says. "If you wonder whether certain behavior constitutes infidelity, I recommend that you ask your spouse."
