In this week's episode Chelsea, Luke, & Ann Marie explore a story submitted to them by a follower. The writer reveals the confusing and emotional complexities of infidelity. Once a harsh critic of affairs, she found herself involved in one after 23 years of a stable but unfulfilling marriage. A connection with a coworker, her direct report, sparked an intense, secret relationship that has lasted for over a year, even though her husband now knows about it and wants to repair their marriage. Now, with a greater empathy for those in similar situations, she faces the painful choice between duty and fulfillment.
