"No" is the (very) knee-jerk answer to the question, "Would you stay with your spouse if s/he cheated?" But when the husband of this week's guest betrayed her, she chose to stay. Not only that, she also chose to own what she views as her part in her marriage's downturn. Today I'm talking with marriage coach and podcast host Charity Craig all about infidelity. And maybe her story will change the way you think about infidelity... or maybe not. We talk: + How she knew her husband was cheating + Dealing with judgment if you go back to a cheater + Identifying what is broken in a relationship + The signs of an early breakdown in a relationship + Avoiding the “victim mentality” + Why your instinct is your most powerful cheat-detection tool + Is one person ever at fault for an affair?
