In episode 08 of Asking For A Friend, hosts Corey and Rosanne open up about one of the most searched but rarely discussed relationship topics — infidelity — exploring the emotional betrayal that often cuts deeper than the physical act. Drawing from Corey's personal experience with the end of her first marriage and Rosanne's 20+ years as a couples therapist, they unpack how affairs rarely come "out of the blue" but are instead the result of ignored red flags, eroded communication, and a slow disconnection from self. They also discuss the power of protective friendships, the four cornerstones of a relationship (two of which are trust), and recommend Esther Perel's The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity as a must-read for anyone navigating this deeply human experience.
