Act Like You Love Him 
Two years ago was a very dark time in our marriage which I try now to push out of my head. I don't care to re-live all the details of that time (I've done enough all ready) In short, my husband was having an affair and I was faced with a decision. I confided in a few close friends and was told to dump him, and move back home. I came very close, but there was a nagging voice in my head telling me not to give up. The kids needed their father and I would be damned if I would allow my children to be exposed to his tramp on the side. I was also not about to let some hussy steal MY MAN away. I would NOT let her win! But I didn't know how to go about winning him back and wasn't even sure if I WANTED him back after what he had done, all I knew was I was not going down like this. Then I discovered your show by accident and you received a call that mirrored my life. You gave her advice I was never given or even heard in my whole life: "Act" like I love him for the sake of the kids. "Act" like we were dating again. It seemed so phony but my pride was on the line and in my head I was thinking I would win him back, he would kick the bimbo to the curb so "I" could be the one to dump HIM and leave him alone and hurt like he hurt me. I wanted him to hurt. So, I followed your advice, for the wrong reasons, but followed it nonetheless. And something strange happened, we both started to fall back in love with each other. I was cooking his favorite foods, making his favorite lunches for work, giving him back rubs and lots of sex, but I wasn't acting any more. I wanted to make him happy and he wanted the same. It's been 2 years since then and we have just celebrated our 10 year anniversary and are more in love with each other now than when we first met. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't say it enough. You helped me make my life better than I ever dreamed. Thank you. V.
