About this listen

What happens when your person has full access to your world, but you’re a ghost in theirs? When they meet your parents, share holidays with your family, and show up in photos with your closest friends yet you’ve never even met one person from their life?

In this episode, I share the reality of a five-year secret relationship and what it meant to be completely known in my world while remaining invisible in his. I open up about being the other woman, the heartbreak of ending a long-term affair, and how it felt to experience relationship grief for something most people never knew existed.

We explore how these kinds of modern relationships unfold and the emotional weight they carry, especially when you’re dating in your 40s and rewriting what love is supposed to look like.

You’ll hear how my friends and family responded, how women and infidelity are still judged differently, and why trust in relationships becomes complicated when only one side is seen. This episode dives into the raw relationship truths that don’t often get spoken out loud.

If you’re navigating emotional healing, craving unconventional love, or finding your way through a self-growth journey, this conversation is for you. These stories support breaking societal norms and remind you that healing after an affair is possible.

So happy you're here,

Nikki
