Why do people cheat—even when they claim to be happy in their relationship? In this episode, we explore the real reasons behind infidelity, including emotional disconnection, unmet needs, temptation, insecurity, opportunity, and the desire for validation or excitement. We also discuss open relationships and whether consensual non-monogamy can prevent cheating—or create an entirely different set of challenges. Is cheating always about sex? Can you truly love someone and still be unfaithful? Where is the line between an open relationship and betrayal? Join us for an honest conversation about why people cheat, the difference between infidelity and open relationships, emotional versus physical affairs, trust, boundaries, jealousy, and whether a relationship can recover after cheating.
