In this episode, I tackle a profound listener question: Can infidelity run in the family? With insights from How to Cheat: Field Notes from an Adulteress, I explore whether cheating is influenced by learned behavior, emotional voids, or even personality traits like impulsivity. Episode Highlights: The potential intergenerational patterns of infidelity. How childhood experiences can shape adult behaviors. The role of emotional needs like validation and physical intimacy. Strategic advice for maintaining secrecy and the toll it takes. Ethical dilemmas and the possibility of growth after betrayal. Key Takeaway:Infidelity often stems from unmet emotional needs and past experiences, but breaking negative cycles is possible through self-awareness and conscious choices. Quotable Moment:"I’d never have cheated if I’d been held like this at home. Sex or not, I missed being held more." 🎧 Listen now for an unflinching look at the human side of infidelity and the lessons it can teach us about love, connection, and self-discovery. ----more---- Follow Teresa on Substack!
