Infidelity Isn’t Entertainment—It’s a Wound: Why People Cheat and What Happens Next

When Coldplay’s Jumbotron "kiss cam" (sidenote, it's not a kiss cam, its the Jumbotron Song) sparked global buzz over an affair, it reminded us of a hard truth—infidelity is not entertainment.

In this must-listen episode, Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, clinical psychologist and relationship expert, breaks down the real reasons people cheat, from disconnection and loneliness to conflict avoidance and unmet emotional needs.

You’ll learn:

• Why affairs happen (it’s not always about sex)

• The truth about shame, betrayal, and emotional wounds

• How couples can begin to heal after infidelity

Whether you’re rebuilding trust, struggling with betrayal, or reflecting on your own relationship, this episode offers insight, compassion, and powerful takeaways.
