Ask the Unfaithful

Episode 14: Why are the Unfaithful Dishonest with Themselves?


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why the unfaithful just isn't getting it? It's like they live in this bubble of self deception, seemingly impenetrable, almost as if it's self soothing mechanism. Eventually a betrayed partner will come to the necessary conclusion that many unfaithful have to be dishonest with themselves to justify their actions. Often times, it takes longer for the unfaithful to come to the realization that they in fact, have been lying to themselves to not only justify their actions but push away guilt and responsibility as well as the enormity of what their actions have cost them and their partner.

Today we'll take a deep dive into several reasons why the unfaithful are dishonest with themselves, while helping to make sense of these actions to both the unfaithful and the betrayed. Make no mistake, even if we've been lying to ourselves as unfaithful, there is hope and there is a way out AND there is the opportunity to change and heal. It takes work and it takes expert care and it most certainly takes grit. For those willing to do the work, healing is always possible for ourselves.
