Cheating isn’t always about sex. In this brutally honest episode, we break down the uncomfortable truths around infidelity—from emotional affairs to unresolved insecurities, unmet needs, and the real reasons people cheat.

We explore why cheating is often a self-betrayal before it’s ever a partner betrayal, the role emotional disconnection plays in long-term relationships, and why truth-telling, boundaries, and regular renewal are essential in modern marriage.

Whether you've been cheated on, cheated yourself, or want to protect your relationship from silent drift, this conversation is packed with perspective-shifting insights.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why cheating starts as an internal split, not a physical act
- Why unmet emotional needs are more dangerous than you think
- The red flags you might be ignoring before infidelity happens
- The difference between physical vs. emotional cheating—and why both matter
- How the “10 Year Marriage” model creates space for honest renewal and truth-telling
- Why the betrayed partner isn’t always innocent—and what accountability really looks like

This is one of those episodes that might trigger you—and that’s the point. The conversations you’re afraid to have? They’re the ones that save your relationship.
