This one’s a big one.
Cheating is one of those topics that people whisper about, judge quickly, or bury entirely.
But what if there’s more going on than most of us realise?
In this episode, we explore:
- What really counts as cheating (it’s not just physical)
- How affairs often begin with emotional disconnection
- Why even “good people” cheat - and are shocked by it
- The surprising relief some people feel when the truth comes out
- What it takes to rebuild trust (and when it’s not worth it)
- How to handle judgement if you choose to stay
We unpack why people cheat, not just the obvious stuff, but the emotional, relational and sometimes existential reasons behind it.
We talk about the identity loss that can creep into long-term relationships, how disconnection builds slowly, and why good people sometimes make choices that don’t line up with their values.
It’s not about excuses. It’s about understanding. And maybe, it’s about rethinking what healing looks like too.
If you've been betrayed, if you’ve cheated, or if you’re just wanting to understand this part of relationships with more compassion and less shame, this conversation is for you.
