FAQ – ‘What to do after the affair?

Find clear, compassionate guidance on what to do after an affair — from managing shock and emotions to making thoughtful decisions about your next steps.

Honestly? Start with the free one. The First 48 Hours Survival Checklist is completely free and gives you hour-by-hour steps for getting through the immediate aftermath — what to document, what not to say, and how to stay functional when your world is falling apart. Once you’ve got your footing, the rest of the library will make a lot more sense.

We’ve got a range of things depending on what you need most right now. There are PDF guides and workbooks, assessments to help you understand what you’re dealing with, ready-to-use scripts for talking to your kids or managing your co-parent, crisis protocol tools for the really hard moments, and audio programmes on the way soon. Everything is practical — no vague “be kind to yourself” advice, just things you can actually use.

Everything in the Resource Library is a digital download, so you get access straight away after purchase — no waiting for the post. PDFs work on your phone, tablet, laptop, or you can print them if you’d rather hold something in your hands.

You’ll get a download link in your email as soon as you check out. If it doesn’t appear within a few minutes, check your spam folder first. Still nothing? Drop us a message via the Get in Touch page and we’ll sort it out quickly.

Not at all. If you can open an email and click a link, you’re good. Everything is designed to be straightforward, especially given that most people aren’t exactly at their sharpest when they’re going through this.

Not quite yet — they’re coming soon! If you’d like to be the first to know when they drop, get in touch and we’ll make sure you hear about it.

Definitely not. Some resources are aimed at the early chaos — the first days and weeks — but plenty of them are just as relevant months or years down the line. Recovery isn’t a straight line, and there’s no point at which support stops being useful. Wherever you are, there’s something here for you.

Absolutely. Nothing in the library assumes you’ve made a decision. Resources like Am I Trauma Bonded or Actually in Love? are literally designed to help you figure that out. Whether you’re working through staying, preparing to leave, or somewhere completely in the middle — there’s something here that fits.

They’re not a replacement for therapy, but they work really well alongside it. A lot of therapists actually point their clients towards structured tools like these because they give you something concrete to work with between sessions. If you’re experiencing serious depression, trauma responses, or thoughts of self-harm, please do seek professional support — these resources are best used as part of a wider support network.

Most of the library is written for the person who was betrayed, but unfaithful partners often find it genuinely eye-opening to read — it helps them understand what their partner is actually going through. It can open up some important conversations too. That said, they may also benefit from resources written specifically for their side of things.

Yes, and it’s a really thoughtful thing to do. Just be mindful of where they’re at — some people aren’t ready to engage with recovery material right away, and that’s okay. A short note saying “this is here whenever you’re ready” can go a long way.

Because everything is a digital download, we look at refund requests individually. You can find the full details on our Refund and Returns page, or just get in touch directly if something’s not right.

We’d love to hear from you — just head to the Get in Touch page and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
