When someone betrays you, it has nothing to do with love, or lack thereof. Well, at least not in the way you think. In this raw, vulnerable book that's part memoir, part crisis-management guide, Jamie Murray, best-selling author of How Many Kids Do You Have? is once again saying out loud what so many of us are managing in silence. She reveals that when someone is unfaithful in a relationship, it has nothing to do with a lack of love for their partner and everything to do with a lack of love for themselves. In the aftermath of infidelity, it's easy to allow hate to lead the way. But what if we could stop focusing on why we've been cheated on, how someone could do this to us, and whether our partner ever really loved us and instead focus on loving ourselves more? Through snarky wit and candid confessions, this book guides us through how to manage the trauma of betrayal without allowing it to define us. When we can depersonalize the hurt of infidelity, when we can understand that it's not about love, we can better lead our families through the often-devastating consequences of someone else's actions. We can better manage our feelings and make healthier choices for ourselves and our families, which ultimately reminds us that we can't learn to love others until we learn to love ourselves first. Jamie Murray is a best-selling author and the CFO of the commercial construction company she owns and operates with her husband in San Antonio, Texas. Jamie became a mother at seventeen years old and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in sociology and a master of arts degree in women's studies at Texas Woman's University in North Texas. Before becoming an entrepreneur and an author, Jamie was a high school English teacher for many years. Today, she spends her days juggling the demands of running a family and a company while building a brand centered around saying out loud what humans all over the world are managing in silence.

It's Not About Love is a compelling self-help memoir penned by Jamie Murray, which delves into the complex topic of infidelity. The author takes the reader on a transformative journey, explaining that betrayal is not a result of insufficient love for one's partner but rather a reflection of the unfaithful individual's lack of self-love. Consequently, the act of betrayal is not the fault of the betrayed. This insightful book provides a fresh perspective on disloyalty, empowering readers to understand that their self-worth is independent of the actions of others.
The essence of It's Not About Love lies in its potent and unique approach to addressing infidelity. As Jamie Murray candidly shares her personal experiences with betrayal, readers cannot help but forge a deep connection with her narrative. This comprehensive guide serves as a powerful reminder that betrayal is unrelated to love, absolving the betrayed of any blame.
Murray's writing style is both authoritative and wry, and her book is remarkably impactful as it encourages readers to view unfaithfulness from an entirely new angle. By recognizing one's lack of culpability in such situations, readers are guided towards a more focused and healthy life. The author emphasizes the importance of self-care and discourages allowing a partner's actions to have a detrimental effect on one's well-being. Murray's firsthand experience with betrayal lends her a unique understanding of the challenges one may face in the aftermath.
This book casts a light on a subject that is often experienced in silence and isolation, and Jamie Murray's courageous honesty in sharing her most vulnerable emotions is nothing short of admirable. Despite the arduous journey, her witty writing instills a sense of hope that brighter days lie ahead. It's Not About Love provides an exceptional portrayal of the intricate relationship between infidelity and love.
