You kill the affair by causing as much conflict as possible.

Exposure, confrontation of the affair partner, we open up holy unmitigated hell on the affair. Exposure ruins affairs. It is like bringing in a crowd of people into the crack house to watch the crackheads get high. It ruins the high! The best weapon you have against this affair is exposure.

Dr Harley [founder of Marriage Builders] is a clinical psychologist for 40 years who specializes in adultery. Here is what he says about exposure:

In my experience with thousands of couples who struggle with the fallout of infidelity, exposure has been the single most important first step toward recovery. It not only helps end the affair, but it also provides support to the betrayed spouse, giving him or her stamina to hold out for ultimate recovery.
