Let’s talk
Cheating & Infidelity
Most women have either been cheated on, know someone who was, are currently going through it, or worry they might.
Affairs are committed by both genders, within all cultures, every religion, all ethnicities, and at every socio-economic level.
Being betrayed is something that is universally feared and shrouded in shame and embarrassment. It’s a topic we desperately need to discuss and yet and yet, is something we still avoid talking about.
I’d like to change that.
Shame and Judgement
Some women will scream from the rooftops in a rage if they are cheated on. Vilifying and crucifying their partner or the other person. But, more of them suffer in silence. Too embarrassed, humiliated, and afraid of being judged.
The cheater gets judged of course. But ironically, so does the woman. She’s judged for not knowing. Judged for being the cause of the cheating. Judged for how she handles it. Judged for how she doesn’t handle it. Judged if she stays. Judged if she leaves.
The cheater is not going to admit it or talk about it either. They risk losing everything and know they’ll be strung up, stoned, publicly shamed, and branded. Not so metaphorically speaking with social media a simple, retaliatory click away.
Betrayal is tough to talk about
AND FUNDAMENTAL FOR RECOVERY
Monogamy; Is it dead?
Are men biologically wired to cheat? Is infidelity less now, or worse? Are social media and the prevalence of porn causing more betrayal? What causes someone to cheat? If they do it once, will they inevitably do it again? What defines cheating in our digital age? Are we wrong to expect monogamy in our changing times?
The science and brain chemistry of pair bonding is still up for interpretation. Relationship ‘alternatives’ are being explored more often. Definitions of cheating are as confusing as ever, and the statistics of it vary wildly from 25% to up to 75% of couples experiencing it.
Many answers are elusive, but one thing remains true. Infidelity continues to be one of life’s most painful and damaging experiences. Something no one wants to go through. Being rejected and betrayed threatens something very primal within us. It threatens our sense of safety. And safety is something humans will continue to seek, irrespective of societal change.
