Episode 77: On Recovering From Infidelity & Betrayal, & Navigating Jealousy in Relationships

This week’s episode is a juicy one, y’all. Tracey and Cayly are discussing infidelity, betrayal, and jealousy in relationships. They talk about why cheating isn’t always a black and white issue, how to recover from infidelity, why jealousy is normal and not something about which to feel ashamed, and how to recognize the signs that betrayal might be on its way.

They also talk about self-betrayal, sex, emotional affairs, and how to find the balance between lust and safety in long-term partnerships.
