"Diary of an Affair" is entering its 2nd season on the Style Network. We are looking for people who have experienced the turmoil of an affair. Each episode of “Diary of an Affair” chronicles the non-fiction story of an affair with the participants openly sharing how the affair affected them, their significant other, their friends and families, with an eye to helping others who are dealing with similar circumstances.

This documentary style series will tell your story in a tasteful and mature way by an Emmy-winning production company. The show chronicles the affair itself - how it started, who was involved, the dramatic twists and turns, how it ended, and what happened to the parties' existing relationships.

Straight or gay couples welcome. Seeking couples from all over the U.S. & Canada.

There is compensation for your story.

A tasteful show about adultery--isn't that somewhat oxymoronic?

Well, I saw one episode and it was, IMHO, tasteful. They don't spend time glorifying or villifying anyone, they show interviews with both the husband and the wife talking about how their relationship started and grew and changed and what led to the affair. Then they talk about what happened as a result. The one I saw pointed out very succinctly how people can drift apart and make bad choices. In that particular episode, the couple worked through it and stayed together in what they said was a newly strengthened relationship.

Anyway, it is more of a documentary than a reality show. :-)

I'll take your word for it, Max, but I just can't imagine why any half-sane person would want to air his/her personal life like that.

Me either! :-) I imagine it's partly because they get to be on TV and partly because they were sold over and over with the pitch that telling their story might help others to avoid the same kinds of mistakes.

From Pretty Woman:

Richard Gere: It's just that people rarely surprise me.

Julia Roberts: Really? Most of them shock the shit out of me!

When is this show on? What day of the week?

I don't know if I get the Style Network out here in Colorado, Comcast.

Could they compensate you enuf? Who in the world would want to go on this show? It's embarassing. You will be judged.

Is there ever a happy ending to an affair? Don't the numbers show that if you dump your wife for your girlfriend that it doesn't work out?

LOL Newman! Have I told you lately how much I love your posts?

Yeah. I can't see how a show about cheating can be tasteful or helpful. I suppose the reality is, it does happen and, I suppose, exploring it via a reality TV show is better than not talking about the subject at all.

But if you're going to do a show like this, I hope they also show the devastation cheating causes and the long-term effects it has. Just showing couples who have worked through it and those who have lived happily ever after is an insult to people whose lives have been scarred by someone choosing to have an affair.

Truer words were never spoken.
