Snapshots of Infidelity Volume One

Snapshots of Infidelity Volume One

From the website Women Scorned (www.women-scorned.co.uk) come the eBooks Snapshots of Infidelity, a collection of stories from women across the world who have faced infidelity in some way – from lovers taking a secret mistress, to being “the other woman”, and a startling surprise revealed after the death of a loved one. Snapshots is a collection not to be missed – these stories are accounts of bravery in the face of betrayal; some uplifting, some shocking, but all true.  

All the real life stories are from members of that website (all names have been changed for their protection) and this book is a testament to all the women who have found solace within its many pages and its forum. The forum is anonymous to use and is there to help you offload and chat to others in the same situation.

If anyone finds themselves on the receiving end of infidelity www.women-scorned.co.uk is a wonderful place to get help, support, hope and laughter aswell as vital information.

10% of the proceeds from these ebooks will be donated to a woman’s charity.

Why is it important to give readers a sense of what infidelity is like across the globe?

Every story in each volume of Snapshots of Infidelity shows the reader that heartache is universal and that infidelity knows no age, gender, sexuality or race. They can take comfort from reading how other women from all backgrounds and cultures are affected by the aftermath of their partner cheating, how they deal with the experience and how they survive the whole ordeal.

Can you tell us a little bit about collecting the stories for the book?

The stories came from the vast amount of emails we receive every week from around the world from the Women Scorned members in the past year since the website was launched. The stories represent a broad cross-section of experiences.

What is the most common tale of infidelity you have found?

We find that there are many reasons for infidelity but one of the most common themes in infidelity stories appears to occur within the man’s workplace. Either from perhaps working closely with the mistress or being away from home at a conference for a few days when an affair begins or a one-night stand occurs.

Closely followed by affairs with the wives/girlfriends of their own mates or their partner’s close friend/relative.

Why is the forum such an important place for women to come to talk about infidelity?

The forum is essential for our members. It is the hub of the entire website where women can anonymously speak about their experiences, either from the past or present, and also maybe get advice and help for a friend who has been cheated on.

There are over 30 different topics on there and members can engage with others on a diverse range of subjects such as Divorce, Parenting, Beauty, DIY, Fashion and Dating.

As the forum is anonymous those who use it can feel safe and secure when talking about their feelings and experiences. The level of camaraderie on the forum is amazingly high and even though it is heavily policed we have found, thus far, that women are not on there screaming bitterness and anger but rather are grateful to have found a sanctuary where they can be helped to pick up the pieces and move on in their lives.

Here are a couple of examples of some of the posts received on the forum:

I would like to tell my story of how it all started I haven't told anyone until today. I was pregnant when my boyfriend cheated on me and he knew I was I think that's what hurts the most the fact that even though I was carrying his child he didn't stop it from happening . It made me feel worthless and used he was my 1st time for everything as well as I was his. He told me that he regrets it and he left right away because he couldn't cope with him self. I forgave him we live together now our baby is two months old . There are days when I'm happy next to him and then there are days when I remember and I can't help but burst into tears how can I forgive when I can't learn to forget . I want to be happy again I want to move on but for some reason I can't help but remember.

Thank you hun. I credit my own mother and father with my strong character! They drummed it into me from a very young age that I was not to have people in my life that disrespected me in any way, shape or form. Also, a very good friend once said to me: "Love only those that love you". And my ex-husband made it patently clear (through his actions) that he neither loved nor respected me. So, he had to go. He was completely flummoxed that I followed through on my intentions. And, I have to say, I've never looked back. It was tough ending the marriage, but I had to do it. For me, there was no going back. And I don't regret it.

Which story did you connect with the most?

The story that shocked us the most because the member’s frustration and incredulity at the discovery was palpable whilst reading it was Linda’s Story in Snapshots of Infidelity Volume II. We don’t want to give anything away but read that story and you’ll understand exactly what we mean!

How did the idea come about to put all of these stories together in one place for women to access?

We receive lots of feedback regarding the forum and a lot of our members feel they gain such a lot of peace of mind from being on there. That being the case we felt that to publish a collection of members’ stories would enable the reader to use them as a healing tool. They will read that others have survived terrible experiences of infidelity, maybe even worse than their own, and they will realise that they can survive theirs too.

What is next for Women Scorned?

In the year since it launched at The Ritz, London the Women Scorned website has gone from strength to strength and receives over 100,000 page views a month from 158 countries. The advice from our celebrity and non-celebrity experts within its ever-increasing 1,000 pages is proving invaluable for any woman suffering from the fallout of infidelity however far along the path of recovery that she is at. From the dozens of emails received from our members around the world the site proves to us every day that it is much needed.

In March, 2015 we are launching the Men Scorned website to help men who have been cheated on by their partner and also the Kids Scorned website for children aged 5-18 years old whose lives have been affected by infidelity in their parents’ realtionship. They will now have somewhere to turn that has all the answers they are looking for plus an anonymous forum where they are safe to talk with others affected by infidelity in their lives.
