From The New York Post:
He refused to kiss her on the lips when they made love. But Mimi Alford, a White House intern from New Jersey, was smitten nonetheless.
She was in the midst of an 18-month affair with the most powerful man in the world, sharing not only John F. Kennedy’s bed but also some of his darkest and most intimate moments.
In her explosive new tell-all, “Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath,” Alford, now a 69-year-old grandmother and retired New York City church administrator, sets the record straight in searingly candid detail.
I know JFK’s history of womanizing is legendary but this new book begs the question why now?
If you thought that Ashley Madison was the only site out there encouraging married people to cheat then think again. Apparently Australia is having quite a boom in that direction. According to studies the number of Australians admitting to an extramarital affair is quite high. Very high.
Here’s the link to an audio interview in which psychologist Pamela Wakefield-Semmens talks about just what exactly does the word commitment mean to the folks down under. You can pretty much guess it means the same thing to many people in other parts of the world.

The study on the autopsy reports involved “only a very modest number of patients,” and thus “there is no way to know how much, if any, an extramarital affair relationship truly increases risk or the mechanism,” said Levine, who directs the Cardiac Care Unit at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center.
“I would not blow this too out of context,” he said. “Without being sarcastic, I really can state that I have not ever had a patient who asked me about the cardiac risks of an extramarital affair.”
Reestablishing communication after an affair is vital. There is no real relationship if the two of you are only conversing with each other concerning family business. While that is important it cannot be the only thing holding the marriage together.
No woman wants to believe she is married to an unfaithful husband. She understandably wants to believe that he took his marriage vows as seriously as she did.
