People don't usually cheat because they found someone hotter. They cheat because they found a version of themselves they missed. In this episode, we explore intimacy deprivation, the specific kind of connection someone has gone without for so long that relief starts feeling like truth. We break down the five types of intimacy and how deprivation in those areas can create vulnerability to affairs, emotional affairs, coercive relationships, trauma bonds, romance scams, and RomCons. Because people do not only crave people—they crave experiences of self inside connection. Understanding psychological vulnerability is not the same as removing accountability.
