I’ve posted a bunch of reels and podcast clips about helping couples recover from infidelity. And among the comments on those postings, there’s a common theme: How can you imply that the person who was betrayed is somehow to blame for the cheater’s behavior?
I recognize that it’s a very fine line between justifying immoral behavior—which I don’t want to do—and examining the context in which it occurred—which I think is vital to healing.
Judy and I talk about this issue.
Let us know what you think! Have you been cheated on, and have you been able to heal from it? Have you been a cheater?
