Is everyone who cheats cold-hearted and narcissistic? In today's episode, Louise and clinical psychologist Dr. Tari Mack sit down to discuss the topic of cheating in relationships. This is the first part of a two-part episode where they delve into the question: why do people cheat?

• The distinction between macro and micro cheating
