Sunk Costs, Cheating Husbands, and Hard Questions: Divorce Coach Tamar Barbash Breaks It All Down


Listen Later

In this gripping episode of Divorce Happens, we sit down with divorce coach and Fresh Starts expert Tamar Barbash for a candid, compassionate conversation about navigating divorce when infidelity is involved. Tamar shares how betrayal often forces us to confront deeper truths in our relationships—and ourselves—and why it’s so important to pause, ask the right questions, and listen honestly to the answers that come up.

Tamar challenges conventional thinking about “saving” a marriage, especially when the sunk cost fallacy—believing you’ve put in too much to walk away—keeps people stuck. From considering how children learn about relationships through their parents to unpacking why women often justify staying for everyone else’s benefit, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone facing the storm of infidelity.

Whether you're knee-deep in indecision, recovering from betrayal, or simply wondering what’s next, Tamar offers one simple truth: You don’t have to decide today. Divorce is hard—but doable. And with the right support, your next chapter can be the most empowering one yet.
