In this solo episode, I challenge one of the most commonly repeated relationship mantras: "once a cheater, always a cheater."

Drawing from research and my personal experience, I explore why this phrase is not only inaccurate but potentially harmful. I break down the critical difference between serial cheaters and situational affairs, share surprising statistics about infidelity recurrence, and discuss how society weaponizes the "cheater" label—especially against women.

In this episode:

1. The data behind who cheats again (and who doesn't)
2. Serial cheaters vs. one-time affairs: key differences
3. Why people who've been cheated on are 2x more likely to be cheated on again
4. How "the other woman" gets unfairly labeled
5. Why I believe people can change (though it's hard)
6. My personal reflections on being the other woman and growing beyond that identity

If you've ever been affected by infidelity or have strong opinions about cheating, this episode will give you a lot to think about.
