27. The Emotional Affair Playbook: 10 Reasons People Cheat Without Cheating
PART ONE
They didn’t sleep with them.
They didn’t kiss them.
But you still felt the shift.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever been emotionally replaced, slowly ghosted in their own relationship, or told they were overreacting to a “harmless friendship.” We dive deep into the psychology of emotional cheating -why it happens, how it starts, who does it, and what it actually means when someone builds an emotional life with someone else behind your back. You’ll learn the 10 core reasons emotional affairs happen, the trauma patterns underneath them, and why the soulmate excuse is one of the most damaging lies we tell ourselves.
This one cuts - but it also clears.
