(1888PressRelease) August 25, 2025 - PORTLAND, Maine – Emotional expression of men is relegated mainly to the golf course or the local watering hole. A stigma persists that men must suppress painful emotions and experiences to maintain an image of stoicism. A new release by author Dr. Elliott Kronenfeld hopes to flip this concept on its head.

Unspoken Loss: Men, Infidelity, and Disenfranchised Grief breaks through the silent barrier of how men heal and manage emotions. Licensed sex therapist and TEDx international speaker Elliott Kronenfeld provides groundbreaking insight into how men who cheat process the pain, guilt and grief of infidelity in isolation.

“Even the strongest relationships will be tested from time to time,” says Kronenfeld. “Men need to realize coping with grief after an affair isn’t linear. Ignoring the pain risks missing the opportunity to fully heal and shine a light on the unique grief of every human being instead of triggering more emotional harm.”

The in-depth book examines how masculinity, infidelity and the idea of disenfranchised grief—emotional pain that lacks public support or acknowledgment—must be addressed together for proper healing to occur.

Unspoken Loss is divided into three parts covering the theory, research and interventions available to readers. From marital affairs to actionable pathways forward, Kronenfeld draws on vast clinical experience and research to outline an arc of infidelity recovery that supports long-term relational growth.

“Infidelity, despite its pain and complexity, does not have to be the end of the line for couples. In this book, Elliott offers a vision of a hopeful future to that couples can strive toward and attain healing,” says Vicki L. Shemin, family law attorney and clinical social worker.

Readers are invited to reframe how the trauma of infidelity occurs, resulting in a potential turning point: one that can lead to deeper interpersonal understanding and renewed intimacy. The book is a powerful resource for men trying to navigate marriage and sex, evolving sexual relationships and coping with depression.

Unspoken Loss is the second book by Kronenfeld following Couples by Intention: Creating and Cultivating Relationships that Matter. It is available in paperback or as an eBook through SDP Publishing Solutions, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and retail locations.

The book provides a strong bridge for those looking to heal after the harm of infidelity in a relationship. Both partners are affected by betrayal, but the healing journey is possible if they work together to heal their different emotional wounds.
