It’s still vacation time so this week we’re featuring another one of our favorite episodes “from the vault.” Listeners loved this short fictional story about affairs, and the panel discussion about infidelity that followed. Stay tuned - fresh new episodes of Cheating: When Love Lies are coming soon! 

What if you’re married but secretly sending DMs and sexy pictures to someone you're attracted to. What if you’re in a long term relationship, but once or twice a year you give yourself permission to have sex with a random person on a business trip.
What if you don’t tell your girlfriend that after each yoga class, you and another hot yogi hang out and get smoothies. Are any or all of these cheating? 

This episode addresses all of these questions in a short fictional story I've written called “Is It Cheating, Or Not Quite?”  After reading the story I’ll host my panel of guests: Justin, John, and Amy, who will react to the story and share their own thoughts on infidelity.

Is It Cheating Or Not Quite?

Affairs are prevalent but rarely talked about relationships. The podcast, Cheating: When Love Lies, is a deep dive into the complex emotions surrounding these secret unions.
Creator and host, Jillian Hamilton, delves into this taboo topic and asks the hard questions about affairs: how common are they, who's having them, and why? These questions illicit unexpected answers that reveal both men and women as people actively seeking something - validation, escape, understanding, vengeance, thrill, love, sex, and romance - outside of marriage or committed partnerships. Cheating: When Love Lies resists the condemnation of affairs as uniquely wrong or bad and instead considers their usefulness in learning as much about relationships as we learn about our ourselves.
On the podcast, Jillian Hamilton narrates short fictional stories about cheating based on true life events. The narration is followed by a roundtable discussion with everyday people who share their unique perspectives. Jillian also interviews cheaters and betrayed partners. These interviews are raw and real-and at times maddening or heartbreaking.
Listen now to Cheating: When Love Lies. Are you ready for the truth?

Beth's 12 week program teaches women how to transform themselves in order to transform their lives and relationships. Using Beth's Soulify Wellness method, my two guests, Anne and Marie ( not their real names) explore memories and unprocessed emotions which are often the real reasons for the unhealthy patterns and communication issues in a marriage or partnership. Anne and Marie share intimate details of why they believe their husbands had affairs and why they find it so incredibly difficult to know how to move forward after betrayal. Beth facilitates our chat by offering professional insight into why my guests and so many betrayed women act as they do. Beth Miller Soulify Marriage Saver Program. www. soulifywellness.com

My Wife Cheated On Me With A Homeless Man

Some still believe that a wife’s role is to stay at home with her children, tend to her family, and be devoted to her husband. In Western culture these ideas are currently part of the Trad Wife movement. Trad stands for traditional wife. 



On this episode I welcome international matchmaker Florent Raimy,  Founder of Edwige International. Florent’s matchmaking clients are wealthy men from all over the world who are seeking a traditional wife. So….how many of you are scratching your heads right now in disbelief that the traditional wife role still exists? And how many of you are thinking “finally- we’re going back to the way things should be.” Also, is this “one stays at home and the other one works” paradigm relevant to same-sex couples? Let’s hear what my guest has to say. Let’s find out what high net worth men from all over the world are looking for in a wife. Not all wealthy men, but some-and most definitely Edwige International clients.  Is the Trad Wife a walk back into the fifties or a strut into the future?

A Renowned Matchmaker On Infidelity & What His Clients Won’t Tolerate

Sometimes an angry affair partner attacks her married lover, his wife and even his children. The affair partner will stalk, cyber stalk, physically attack or threaten her married lover’s wife, children, and extended family in order to taunt, threaten or intimidate them. These affair partners are sometimes called bunny boilers, based on the mentally unstable mistress character in the 80s hit movie Fatal Attraction. My guest Helen spent years facing down her own real life bunny boiler. Join marriage coach and Soulifywellness founder Beth Miller and me as Helen tells how hundreds of phone calls from her husband’s affair partner turned into full blown harassment. Then find out how Helen fought back against the abuse to reclaim her peace. To be a guest on the show please write to Jillianhamiltonpodcast@gmail.com.
