    More Than A Few Men In My Marriage

    Sarah Bar-Lev

    More than a few men in my marriage is not your typical breakup memoir. It’s raw, real, and at times, ridiculously relatable and packed with humour. When Sarah’s husband of 14 years confessed to cheating on her—with men, in their own home, including while she had cancer—you’d think it couldn’t get any worse. Spoiler: it did. Nervous breakdowns, suicide attempts, and a crash course in narcissism later, Sarah did the unimaginable: she survived, got strong, and got hilarious.

    More than a few men in my marriage is not your typical breakup memoir. It’s raw, real, and at times, ridiculously relatable and packed with humour. When Sarah’s husband of 14 years confessed to cheating on her—with men, in their own home, including while she had cancer—you’d think it couldn’t get any worse. Spoiler: it did. Nervous breakdowns, suicide attempts, and a crash course in narcissism later, Sarah did the unimaginable: she survived, got strong, and got hilarious.

    This book is for anyone who’s ever been betrayed, blindsided, or just deeply unimpressed by someone they once loved. Equal parts heartbreak and healing, with a side of dark humour, this book proves that sometimes the worst thing that happens to you… is the best thing that ever happened.

So, let’s get this out of the way. In chapters of this book, I call my husband out on things that happened. This is not meant to offend you or him. It’s just… accurate. And yes, every time I tell someone what happened — just the basic facts — their response is the same: “What a Jerk.”
Excerpt from More Than A Few Men In My Marriage

I called another doctor and despite him saying I was being pushy, we were admitted to hospital. After a night of tests, the doctor sat me down and said the words no parent ever wants to hear: "Your son has tummy trouble, and it looks like cancer."
Excerpt from More Than A Few Men In My Marriage

The revelation of his sexuality was secondary. The true betrayal lay in the deception. Eight years. Eight years of lies while I lived under the illusion that our life together was flourishing. And to think it all came crashing down because of a stranger on a boat. I later reflected that he might never have left that day without that man entering his life.
Excerpt from More Than A Few Men In My Marriage

My head spun from the contradictions. Support him? For what? For the stress of juggling secret relationships while upholding the façade of a happy marriage? For the physical exhaustion of sneaking around at night, sending “Good morning, handsome” messages to Mr. California while I was asleep upstairs?
Excerpt from More Than A Few Men In My Marriage

If he had abandoned me long before he physically left, then I was done being the woman who made his life easier. He had already taken eight years of my life—almost the same length of time my son had lived. I would not allow him to take another moment.
