Is EMOTIONAL CHEATING Still Cheating? | Signs, Boundaries, & Healing After Betrayal
Emotional cheating is one of the most overlooked yet devastating betrayals in a relationship. In this episode of The ANTD Podcast, Amee and D. unpack what emotional affairs really are, how they start, and why they hurt just as much—if not more—than physical cheating. We share signs to watch for, boundaries to protect your marriage, and how to heal if you’ve been hurt by secret texts, work spouses, or online flirtation.
We also dive deep into biblical truth, identity in Christ, and how to rebuild trust when it’s been shattered. Whether you're the betrayed or the betrayer, this conversation will bring insight, conviction, and hope. Share this with someone who needs it.
