Living Between Your Marriage and Your Affair Isn't Living. It's Purgatory.
On the other side is clarity, peace, and the version of you who can finally breathe. The Decision-Making Masterclass is a private, self-paced course from licensed psychotherapist Lauren LaRusso, infidelity specialist with 15 years of clinical experience — the same depth of work she does with private clients at $700 an hour, for $300.
If You're Deciding Between Your Marriage and Your Affair, I Want You to Move Forward With More Clarity and Less Future Regret
You've built a career, a family, a life that reflects years of discipline and follow-through. And yet here you are — caught between two lives, unable to think your way out of it.
When this relationship happened, you suddenly felt something you hadn't felt in years — alive, seen, known and connected in a powerful way you didn't know you could feel.
And now you're standing at the most difficult crossroads of your life, and you can't imagine losing either your marriage OR your affair.
Feeling completely stuck between two versions of your life and possible future, you can't seem to find solid footing forward. Because how do you reconcile the gap between who you've always been, and who you've become?
The clarity you're looking for exists. But it isn't going to come from more thinking or more time. I know this deeply from my hands-on work, every single day, with people in affairs.
Instead, real clarity is going to come from the honest inventory you haven't done yet — and that's exactly what this process is designed to help you do.
What Becomes Possible When You Do This Work
When you commit to this work, you stop making decisions from fear, guilt, or damage control — and make one from genuine self-knowledge. That decision holds in a way that reactive decisions never do.
You come to understand yourself in a way you never have before. The affair illuminated something real; and when you understand what that is, you stop being driven by unseen and unnamed forces that threaten to steer you wrong.
You get your integrity back. Not the appearance of it — the real thing. Integrity means living whole. It's the internal experience of living in alignment with your values, of being the same person in every room you walk into. It's a relief that brings a consistent inner peace that's truly invaluable.
You make a decision you can actually live with for the rest of your life — conscious, honest, and made from genuine self-truth rather than panic or shame. And that's how this course helps people avoid future regret.

What I've Witnessed
I've worked with spouses who came in certain they were leaving — and came out with something they didn't expect: the clarity to choose their marriage, consciously and honestly, for the first time. Not because they were convinced to stay — but because when they finally understood themselves clearly, staying was the decision that was genuinely theirs.
I've worked with spouses who came in hoping for permission to leave — and found instead something more valuable: the certainty that their decision was grounded in self-knowledge rather than impulse or the intoxication of the affair.
The decision itself — stay or go — matters far less than the foundation it's built on. A decision made from genuine clarity holds. It gives you something to stand on, because you built it from the inside out.
That is what this proprietary process is designed to produce. Read more below to learn how this work has helped real people move from paralysis to relief.
The people below said yes to this work — and came through to the other side. Here is what it gave them.
"Twenty-nine pages of notes later, I found I had moved from uncertainty around next steps to informed confidence.
I was stuck. Completely stuck. That 40% option — staying together but not really working things out — was looking me in the face for a ton of reasons. It's simpler. It avoids the unbelievably tough conversation. It's far less expensive.
The DMM helped me get the clarity, readiness, and confidence in the conversation I needed to have with my spouse. It wasn't easy — but for the first time, I both knew it was the right thing to do and I was ready to walk into the fire.
You helped me see that in taking better care of myself, I was also taking care of my spouse, who was also unhappy, but equally unable to pull the ripcord on our marriage. And when I did, I felt an immediate sense of relief, a sense of hope for the future, and a certainty that I had done the right thing."

"I hadn't been in a place where I was willing to own my story come hell or high water, and that was the work of The Decision-Making course that really just finally made me put my mind to task. It didn’t come quickly or easily, but it came with clarity. And once I got that clarity I’ve been much more at peace about how to move forward."
J.T., Decision-Making Graduate

FAQs
How long will I have access?
Forever. When you enroll, you get lifetime access to the course and every future update. This work is not something you complete once and close the tab — many people return to specific modules months or years later to reaffirm their work.
Is this right for my specific situation?
The Decision-Making Masterclass is a process built for spouses in an affair — whether the affair is ongoing or recently ended, emotional or physical, discovered by a spouse or not. The work inside is about you; what the affair is illuminating for you, what you actually want, and who you actually are underneath the circumstances. The specifics of your situation do not change what the inventory reveals. The process meets you where you are.
How much time does this take?
You move through it at your own pace. The course is designed to be completed over several weeks, but some people successfully move through it quickly in one focused stretch, while others spread it across months and find that time valuable. What matters is that you do the work honestly — not how fast.
What do I need technology-wise?
A computer or mobile device and an internet connection. Everything is delivered through a private, password-protected portal you can access anytime, from anywhere.
Is this private?
One of the most valuable aspects of this course is that it's completely private and on your terms. It's built to be consumed in a way that protects your privacy and process.
I've already worked with a therapist. How is this different?
Therapy is valuable — and this is not a replacement for it. What the Decision-Making Masterclass offers that individual therapy often does not is a structured, and extremely thorough guided inventory specifically designed for the decision in front of you. Most therapists are trained to hold space; this process is designed to concretely move you forward. Many people who come to this Masterclass have already been in therapy for months. They come here because they need something more specific than what therapy alone has been able to give them.
What if I'm not ready to be fully honest yet?
This is important — and it is exactly where this work begins. You do not need to arrive with all the answers. You need to arrive willing to look. The course is designed to meet you where you are and move you forward from there; at your own pace, in your own time, with no one watching.
What if my marriage or affair ends anyway?
The program does not determine the outcome — it determines the quality of the decision that produces it. A decision made from genuine self-knowledge holds, regardless of what it is. That means whatever happens on the other side — whether you recommit to your marriage, build something new, or end a relationship you once thought you couldn't — you will have made it consciously, honestly, and from a place you can stand behind for the rest of your life. Since there are no guarantees in relationships, the solid personal inventory gained from this course is worth everything.
What if I start and don't finish?
You have lifetime access, so there is no “didn't finish” — only “haven't finished yet.” This program waits for you. Many people begin, pause for a few weeks, and return when they're ready. That is built into the design.
What if I enroll and realize this isn't for me?
If, after you have completed this course in its entirety, it has not helped you, reach out to our team and we will refund you fully. No questions asked.
A Few Things Worth Saying Directly
This work will not tell you what to decide. There is no agenda about whether you stay in your marriage or leave it. The only goal is to help you see what you can't see from inside the confusion and pain — and to give you the foundation to make the decision that is genuinely, honestly yours. When you do this, it helps not only you, but everyone else in your life.
This work will not require you to blow up your life. The inventory is about understanding yourself — what the affair has been pointing at, what was out of alignment before it began, and what you actually want going forward. What you do with that understanding is entirely up to you.
And I also want to emphatically say this: Giving yourself help right now is the most strategically intelligent and courageously honest decision you can make.
The people who come through this with real clarity are not the ones who waited until they had no choice. They are the ones who decided — when it was still hard and still scary — that they deserved to make this decision from the right place.
They are also the ones who committed themselves to this inventory entirely. They kept going even when fear told them to turn away. And they made it through to the other side.
I know, because they've shared with me what that success, and what finally making a decision, felt like and meant to them.
I truly want this for you, too.
