Ask the Unfaithful

Episode 23: What are 5 Smokescreens the Unfaithful Use to Deflect?


Listen Later

Have you ever considered the possibility that we, the unfaithful, massively deflect? If you're a betrayed partner, we're quite positive you've seen us utilize a smokescreen time and time again. You may have even laughed or rolled your eyes at the mere question. It's as though we launch smokescreens to deflect, diminish and even disrupt the conversation to alleviate any guilt or responsibility on our part. We also utilize smokescreens in an effort to manipulate and turn attention away from our actions and on to the things you, the betrayed, may have done in our opinion as unfaithful to justify our actions. Yes, we can be that unhealthy and that unsafe.

If you're an unfaithful, we hope today's podcast shares critical insight into what you may be subconsciously doing to deflect attention away from you and your own choices and place responsibility on your betrayed partner. We've both done it and we get it. We'd never resort to shaming you for something we've both done time and time again in the early stages of our own journey. However, it doesn't have to be this way. Your betrayed partner does not need to suffer anymore damage than they already have and you don't need to cause yourself anymore harm than you already have by acting out, lashing out and placing the blame on your partner for your choices. We have a choice on whether or not we utilize smokescreens or choose to be vulnerable, open and honest about our feelings, choices and actions.

We hope you'll make a better choice today to end your smokescreens and get radically honest with yourself and your partner.
