Inspired by this week's Hollywood Hot Take and some listener questions we are talking about when a partner cheats....with your best friend. We also take some listener questions all about cheating. Why do people cheat in the first place? Are some people more predisposed to cheating based on past life experiences, trauma, addictions or other influences? Why is cheating with a best friend is so common? We also talk about if YOU have been the cheater and how seeing that side of things has given both of us more understanding, empathy, and allowed for healing in ourselves that we weren’t expecting.
