Cheating: When Love Lies

PodcastOneart19.com

Each week host Jillian Hamilton interviews affair partners and betrayed partners who share their raw, real deeply personal stories of infidelity. Hear true stories of cheating and affairs told by the people who actually lived them. Jillian delves into this taboo topic and asks the hard questions about affairs: what constitutes an affair, who's having them, and why? These questions elicit unexpected answers that reveal both men and women as people actively seeking something - validation, escape, understanding, vengeance, thrill, love, sex, and romance - outside of marriage or committed partnerships. Occasionally Cheating: When Love Lies welcomes experts in the field of relationships, but mostly we hear directly from people who are currently navigating an affair or have experienced one.

Think about the chaos that ensues from any love triangle. Is it two people vying for one person’s love, or (at times) is it a melodrama that distracts people from their legitimate life problems?

My guest Sandy may be emblematic of this. Sandy invests so much time and energy into her live-in cheating boyfriend even though something...

About two years ago, a guy friend said to me “I know my best friend and he would never cheat on his wife.

Cradle Robber? Mature Married Woman’s Affair With A Young Married Stud

We are on vacation this week, so we are revisiting one of my favorite episodes from last summer. A mature married man who's been with his wife for 20 odd years decides to go off and have an affair with a hot young 20 or 30- year-old. Nothing newsworthy there.

It feels like she'd be tarred and feathered on Twitter. There's a doubl...
