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.
Imagine you’re a bride, and your fiancé invites a woman you barely know to your wedding under the guise that they’re “just friends.” He and his “friend” disappear from the reception for almost 2 hours and no one knows where they are. It’s not surprising that shortly after the wedding this bride’s marriage ends.
According to John, my guest today, his girlfriend (this former bride and divorcee) became a cheater: an emotional cheater. John claims she was never a truly present and giving partner because everything she went through made her too guarded.
John says that instead of nurturing their relationship, his girlfriend poured her affection, cuddles and kisses in another direction. She was so consumed with this “other” that John felt neglected and emotionally cheated on.
What’s surprising is that this “other”who stole the couples’ intimacy away was his girlfriend’s … dog?
On this episode my guest John and I discuss his unique perspective on emotional cheating. John also tells an incredible story of how a bride was forced to live out a cheating nightmare on her wedding day.
