Received this request from True Entertainment via the Smart Marriages newsletter today.
Infidelity is among the most delicate and difficult experiences a couple faces. Yet, while statistics show that more than 50% of all adults have cheated on their partners, it is still a very isolating experience.
True Entertainment, an Emmy Award winning production company who has produced TV documentaries for Discovery, The History Channel, ABC, Lifetime,TLC and many other networks, is producing an insightful exploration of infidelity and its effects on a relationship, family, loved ones and friends. This documentary-style show will take a comprehensive look at cheating, with the goal of understanding the nature of infidelity, as well as providing hope to viewers who are experiencing it in their own lives.
We are looking for couples who are willing to share their stories with our viewers whether they have found their way back to each other or ended up ending the relationship.
We are also looking to include the point of view of anyone who was vital in the couples journey (therapist, marriage educators, family or friends).
If you know anyone who might be willing to participate or you would like any further information, please contact Michele Friedman at friedman@trueeentertainment.net. Our deadline is Friday, October 23rd.
Tell Your Infidelity Story

Was this documentary ever produced? Where can I watch it. My wife cheated on me and although we are still trying (or at least i am trying) to save our marraige, but my wife is having a difficult time really letting herself try and love me again even for the kids. She is still fighting it 15 months later and I’m not sure how much longer I can wait, the only reason I am still around is my kids.
Yes. It was called Unfaithful: Stories of Betrayal. It was produced by True Entertainment and aired on Oprah’s OWN network in 2011 and 2012. I never saw any of the episodes.
If you’re looking for help with infidelity, I can strongly recommend Peggy Vaughn’s website (which remains online even though she’s passed away): http://dearpeggy.com/
She also launched the Beyond Affairs Network, http://beyondaffairsnetwork.com/, which continues providing in-person support to those whose spouses were unfaithful, under the leadership of Anne Bercht.
