Secret Sex in the Suburbs

Jennifer, a stay-at-home mom with three kids, was married for seven years before she cheated on her husband. She says that loneliness contributed to the affair, but an emotional affair began with the other man first. Jennifer ended up leaving her husband.

"It wasn't about any sort of physical gratification," Jennifer says. "It was about the tools that he had that taught me. His one song to me was you're intelligent, articulate and intuitive, and if you harness that you can do anything you want to do. … It wasn't about roses or about trips. It was about a sense of self that I didn't have before that I had now. And the physical part was completely unnecessary. It was that change in me as a human being."
