Had I found this book in early August 2005, I could have saved myself nearly five months of torture, investigative work and research (not to mention nearly $1,600 in therapist fees)! My husband of 23 years had never exhibited any of the obvious signs (lipstick on the collar, mysterious phone calls, switching from boxers to briefs, etc.) but after reading The Script, I was able to clear away the mitigating factors (he suffers from clinical depression and had been watching a close friend die in the six months prior to dropping The Bomb) and get right to the truth. I am having the last laugh now, however, knowing that our divorce is going to cost him a minimum of $750,000, and that I will lead a happier life without him. I DO DESERVE BETTER! BRAVO for The Script!

The signs given in this book are true and all too common. What I found, after a recent break up, is that distancing is the number one factor to watch out for. There are definite signs in this book that you can see, but the lingering question is what do you do about it, and is the relationship is really serving you, is it the kind of relationship you really want? I do recommend this book to see "The Script" in action. If you are feeling the distance already, then you will know deep inside. Another book that has helped me tremendously along with this one is called "Stop Being the String Along". I found fantastic insight in it, and I suggest both books for the signs, and the answers as to what to do about them.

Unbelievable how accurate this book is. My husband of 15 years has cheated on me 8 times and he's left me for the third time and we will be divorced in 2 days....he is definetly part of the Script. Shameless bunch of cowards and vipers!!!! Unfortunetly, I got the book from my mother after he had already left me for the third time.

This is an extremely good summary of how men and women behave during the final stages of a marriage break-up. In almost ALL breakups, there is another person involved, i.e. the person wanting to leave wants to leave to start/continue an affair with a third party. This book tells how men behave when they're the ones doing the leaving. The authors insistence on a "script" that is followed is most clever and makes sense based on what I've observed among my friends. If you're over 30, this book will ring very true to you. We've all seen this behaviour again and again. My one complaint is that the book tends to bring issues up and then ignore them or not give them the exploration they deserve. All in all, though, this book is an important addition to the literature about marriage and divorce and is well worth your time and dollars.

This book is a quick and comforting read for those women who suspect their husbands may be cheating or for those women who are going through a divorce. I enjoyed it too, though, because I feel that it will prepare me should I ever be in this situation. The basic premise of the book is that men who cheat follow a predictable Script, and that they always have followed this Script throughout history, always telling women the same things in order to relieve themselves of guilt and make themselves look good. Men will do most anything to make themselves look good and come out on top, even things that would be out of character for them when they were married and devoted---I agree with this assertion from the book (based on my own personal experience). While it's true that this book is not based upon scientific studies, it is based upon anecdotal experience that every woman is familiar with if she has ever had a friend, sister, or mother who has been betrayed by their spouse. I think the book is incredibly valuable because it helps the betrayed woman not feel alone, not feel like she is "unstable" or going crazy, not feel like it's all her problem. If you know of someone who is trying to survive betrayal and/or divorce by a cheating husband, or if you even suspect this, it would be a great book for both you and for her.

I wish that I had read this book last January it would have saved me so much time and pain. Everything that is in this book my soon to be ex-husband did to me. I'm going to send a copy this book to all of my girlfriends, so they can see how easy it is for men to cheat. If you even think that your guy is acting a bit funny get this book right now! If you don't you'll be getting a divorce just like me.

With my sister and several friends going through this very problem I decided to purchase this book. I find it amazing. What is in it is so accurate it is shocking. From my friend, to my sister, to my co-worker, dealing with cheating husbands it is all now in black and white. It is now there for all to see. Men are not unique. We need to read it, learn it, and memorize it, just like the men have, to protect ourselves from the pitfalls they create. From, "Wow, that felt good.", to "I'll take care of you." It is a very good read and easy to follow. And it is almost comical how predictable and uncomplicated men really are.

Well coming from a African-American males point of view, I think the book is a very enlighting source of information, Because rumor in the hood.Is that women are usually not as street smart as men(Espeically the Dumb white girl theory)So this book just proves that you can't take for granted that you can run game on any women and get away with it.When Your running game your game Might just be getting exposed.
