Infidelity is one of the most talked-about — and least honestly discussed — parts of modern relationships.
In this episode of Dating Intelligence, I sit down with author Teresa J. Conway, who shares her personal journey into the world of affairs and what she’s learned from years inside it. We explore the psychology behind cheating, the emotional needs people often struggle to admit, and why relationships rarely fail for the reasons couples think they do.
We also discuss Ashley Madison, online secrecy, communication breakdowns, and the spectrum between emotional and physical betrayal. Rather than sensationalizing the topic, this conversation looks at infidelity as a human behavior — one tied to desire, avoidance, attachment, and unmet needs.
Whether you’re single, dating, married, or recovering from betrayal, this episode will challenge assumptions and give you a deeper understanding of relationship dynamics most people never openly talk about.
This is not about encouraging cheating — it’s about understanding why it happens.
