    About this ebook

    "INFIDELITY: THE ROOTS OF A BROKEN MAN" will shed light on truths not often revealed in the same context when speaking of a 'man'. Credited with being the 'strong one', the words 'broken man' are not readily-viewed as acceptable in the eyes of the world.

    Within the pages of this piece of literary art, you will meet Joseph; a man confronting truths that steered his life onto pothole-ridden paths with reckless abandon. You will come to know a man who has searched for something that exists, yet is just out of reach due to tragic experiences and haphazard decisions made all throughout his life. The very thing he despised was the very thing that fueled his desires...and his rage.

    His search for the truth leads him to a place he's been time and again - but had previously overlooked.

    He knew fear.
    He has looked insecurity square in the eye.
    Embarrassment has had its place riding shotgun for far too long.

    The time had arrived for Joseph to be freed from the vicious cycle of torment.

    From childhood to adulthood, the place he believes he will find refuge is the breeding ground for the final stage of the life he was used to living. The culmination of it all sparks his desire to STOP searching and finally START living!

      PREFACE

      This book was inspired by the countless challenges I have either witnessed or been actively engaged in within relationships. Being a 'cheater' and being cheated on provided me clarity as to why many relationships fail. What drives my desire even deeper is when I took notice of just how deep infidelity runs within (of all places) the church. Many people are torn and driven away from the church because of situations like infidelity and, for many, the church is supposed to be a safe place. Unfortunately, oftentimes that 'safe place' is merely a breeding ground for unaddressed issues. More importantly, both men and women aren't being truthful with themselves and are connecting with others for help in the wrong way. What many people don't realize is the people they hurt are in a position to be hurt as a result of them not dealing with their own internal skeletons!

      Cheating has become a way of life…almost an expectation…and, for many, a normalcy that was never meant to be. People are literally losing their lives and compromising their souls because of lies that have been told. If people can simply tell the truth - their truth (even if it hurts) - it can save a lot of people…and a lot of lives.

      The old adage Tell the truth and shame the devil is a real concept, but we should not place all the blame on the devil.

      We need to place the blame on our greed, selfishness, and…

      BROKENNESS.

      INTRODUCTION

      Why do men cheat?

      The purpose of this book is to shed light on that exact question. Of course, this is not an all-encompassing dissertation on the whys; however, it will prove to be a go-to source that speaks to how those with undealt issues actually aid in the destruction of others.

      As you read, you will come to know the story of a man who has yet to heal from circumstances that damaged his spirit years ago. Fueled by hurt, pain, unprocessed grieving, and a multitude of other things, women who crossed his path became his comforters and targets - at the same time. You will go on a journey with an individual who manipulated his way through life, largely due to the desire of being wanted and needed in order to be validated as a man. In laymen's terms, he wanted to fake it until he made it - without addressing the roots of his issues.

      Further along, you will encounter scenes from a church setting in which infidelity, lies, and sex were at the forefront of many people's minds - yet they hid behind the inner-workings of the church to accomplish their dirty deeds.

      You may find it interesting to learn how people use church traditions to set their ill-conceived endeavors into play, while others are totally oblivious to the behind-the-scenes deception that takes place week in and week out.

      Lastly, through it all, the story will culminate with the man running out of options. He contemplated suicide, but soon realized there was so much more to live for - once he made the decision to deal with his issues and face them head-on. He recognized the value he had and the people he could reach by sharing a piece of his reality that is taboo to many.

      It is my hope that both men and women come to identify the roots of their anger, depression, sexual addictions, homosexuality, and deceitful ways. Once those roots are recognized, I pray those issues - with professional help (if needed) - are addressed and that relationships, friendships, and character are saved.

      FLASHBACK

      A strong memory of a past event that comes suddenly into a person's mind

      (Merriam-Webster).

      Joseph waited as long as he could. He was on the verge of flipping out - but then he stopped to think: What if something happened to her? What if, while she was on her way to pick me up, she got into an accident? His rage instantly turned to fear.

      He began to make his way to her apartment. At first, lost in thought, he walked at a quickened pace. Slowly, his walk turned into an all-out Olympian's sprint. He was running at the speed of light. Visions of his love crashed into a tree or over the edge of an embankment fueled his fire. He HAD to reach her. All while running, he kept dialing her number…and
