Relationship Advice from a Couples Therapist | A Bit of Optimism #Podcast

Infidelity.

How do you.

Help couples overcome the trauma of trusting someone? And how do they repair it?

The number one reason that men cheat is not because of sex. What they're really seeking is admiration. What they're really seeking is respect. Sex becomes this secondary thing that happens, but they get connected to the woman because she admires him, she honors him, she. Same thing with a woman. When a woman cheat, what happened? It started with the conversation. If they're starving for conversation, she finds it elsewhere. Again, I'm not saying it's right. They're trying to get very basic needs met outside of their relationship because the relationship is not working.
