A YouTube segment (creator: Nick Stumbo, July 2024) in which Dave Ramsey describes the emotional isolation of partners betrayed by infidelity and criticizes common, simplistic church advice (e.g., 'just forgive' or 'have more sex'). The speaker notes that these patterns can amount to forms of abuse and says the video will supplement Barna statistics with commentary from betrayal experts in roundtable discussions.
And I think this really will help paint the picture that betrayed partners feel like they're on an island. They feel like they're alone. No one understands. No one can help me. I'm stuck in this. The church keeps telling me to just forgive or to have more sex with my husband or whatever. And what they're doing is it's actually just over time. It can be a forms of abuse really is what's happening. And so I think that this paints that picture. And what I love is we're not just looking at the stats. We're bringing in betrayal experts as a part of roundtables and people who are adding their voice to the commentary, especially.
