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."
