An Illicit Love: A Psychotherapist's Decades-Long Affair with a Married Man

When Mary Salsberg starts her 25-year affair with Thomas, she is a middle-aged, lonely, separated, overworked mother of two. He electrifies her senses and respects her professional ambitions. So begins a life-long tangle of emotions. "An Illicit Love" is unique among affair memories because of Salsberg's triple perspective. She is first "other woman," then "wife." She is also a licensed clinical social worker who counsels patients on infidelity issues. This trifecta of experience allows her to analyze her own life choices. When Thomas' wife learns of his affair, she, Thomas, and Mary enter three-way therapy sessions. This story represents a shifting extra-marital landscape. Ms. Salsberg pushes readers into deep psychological territory. This memoir will facilitate the emotional journey of others who grapple with infidelity. It will also contribute to the cultural conversation about monogamy, love, and happiness. This is not a self-help book, but rather an intimate, honest, profoundly human exploration of a largely hidden topic.
