Iyanla: Fix My Secret Affair

Iyanla
About this episode

Iyanla travels to the suburbs of Detroit to help a husband and wife who are in the midst of a breakdown. Felisha tells Iyanla that her husband's online affair has made her angry and she feels she may never be able to forgive him. Felisha's anger has also been used to cover up her well-kept secret --- her own affair from years past that could ultimately destroy their marriage. While talking with husband Don, he reveals to Iyanla that his wife accused him of deliberately causing a car accident while they were arguing, leaving her severely injured and him guilt-ridden. Iyanla realizes that both Felisha and Don have been living in their marriage with their backs to each other. She works to help them acknowledge each other's pain and to start the couple on the path of forgiveness that is essential to the survival of their relationship.
