We are so honored to be joined by our most long-awaited guest, Esther Perel -- psychotherapist, author, and one of the most insightful experts on relationships, sexuality, and infidelity. We cover cheating in depth, including why it occurs, why it hurts so badly, how to trust again, and whether relationships can come back from infidelity. And we're also discussing the expectations we put on our partners nowadays, why they may not be realistic, and how to navigate this for a healthy relationship. Before Esther joins us, we catch up on Rayna and her bf's first fight, and Ashley's Hamptons Hinge date. Hope you enjoy!
