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 illicit 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.
From the outside it appears you have the perfect marriage. You and your spouse seem to have it all - beautiful children, successful careers, a lovely home and many of life’s trappings most people can only dream of. To the outside world you’re the perfect wife, and your husband is loving, doting, generous and supportive.
But behind closed doors he’s a completely different man: your husband is mean, insufferably controlling, condescending and a serial cheater. To him, the quality and integrity of your marriage is based on sex, and he insists that you have sex with him exactly when and how he wants it.
This is how my guest Lola (not her real name) lived for years in her fake happy marriage. Lola lived this nightmare, until one day she found the courage to leave her husband and take on a shocking new post marriage identity.
