After the Affair

Janis Abrahms Spring

Repairing trust when betrayal deepens low libido

Betrayal can destabilize identity, memory, trust, sexuality, family plans, and the meaning of years already shared. Spring describes the emotional aftermath for both partners, decisions about staying or leaving, and the long work of rebuilding through disclosure, accountability, empathy, and changed behavior. Low libido may follow shock, anger, fear, hormonal change, medication, or other causes; sexual desire should not be treated as proof that healing is complete. For readers seeking a more deliberate next chapter, the book avoids forcing reconciliation or instant forgiveness. Recovery begins with safety and truth, whether the eventual path is renewed partnership, separation, or a clearer relationship with oneself.

About Janis Abrahms Spring

Janis Abrahms Spring built her work from decades of listening to betrayed partners and couples in crisis. She resists compulsory or “cheap” forgiveness, arguing that trust is restored through accountability and earned repair rather than moral pressure to move on.
