By Pamelascott

Can I be honest with you? A wife and husband face a defining moment in their relationship in this emotional, sweet, and surprising confessional about love, monogamy, and the secrets we share.

When Kristi Coulter's husband proposed, she didn't admit her fears. When they exchanged vows, she didn't reveal that she was terrified that marriage would ruin her life. During fifteen years of genuinely happy marriage, she never said a word about another man in her life. Then she comes clean-about all of it-and discovers a new world.

Kristi Coulter's Yes, And is part of The One, a collection of seven singularly true love stories of friendship, companionship, marriage, and moving on. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single sitting, with or without company.

I'd never heard of the author before so I had no idea what to expect. To be honest, this really wasn't for me. I didn't really enjoy any of it. The author's marriage sounds a bit messed up as far as I'm concerned. Why marry someone when you have so many doubts and fears. It makes no sense to me. It would make more sense to get it all off your chest and decide if you really want to get married. Also, the author has an affair with a man called Sam for many years. It seems clear she seems to love both Sam and her husband. Infidelity is one thing I find intolerable. Justifying it is b******. I don't believe she could truly love her husband or have a 'happy marriage' if she had such strong feelings for another man. Her husband's acceptance of her betrayal is also nonsense. I had real issues with this.
