EPISODE 40: IS YOUR PARTNER CHEATING?
Infidelity is complicated for so many reasons. Many people can’t even agree on what cheating really is. If you got a lap dance at a club, is that cheating? If you flirted with a stranger at the grocery store, is that cheating? If you watched porn, is that cheating?
There are a lot of statistics about cheating available online and, unfortunately, a lot of the numbers are self-reported so their accuracy isn’t exactly guaranteed. I found one piece in the New York Times that said, “…national surveys indicate that 15% of married women and 25% of married men have had extramarital affairs. The incidence is about 20% higher when emotional and sexual relationships without intercourse are included.”
That’s a lot of cheating!
When it comes to infidelity, you can bury your head in the sand if you choose but, with those odds, there’s a good chance you’re going to encounter it in a relationship.
Then what?
On this podcast I speak with Robert Weiss. The author of 10 books on sex, intimacy and relationships including Sex Addiction 101, Out of the Doghouse: A Step-By-Step Relationship Saving Guide For Men Caught Cheating and Prodependence, Dr. Rob and I cover many infidelity topics including:
