Why People Cheat

Why do people cheat? In this eye-opening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt dives deep into the complex motivations behind infidelity. She reveals startling statistics that highlight the prevalence of cheating, including the surprising fact that many who cheat rate their marriages as happy. Brianne challenges conventional notions of cheating, discussing how emotional affairs, flirting, and even pornography can all be considered forms of betrayal. Through personal anecdotes and insights gained from her own journey of recovery from sex and love addiction, Brianne explores the underlying emptiness that drives individuals to seek validation outside of their committed relationships. She emphasizes that cheating often stems from a lack of self-worth, boredom, and an inability to confront deeper emotional issues.
