Why Men Cheat: Infidelity, Culture & the Psychology of Betrayal


Listen Later

Infidelity isn’t just about broken vows, it’s about culture, psychology, and the messy ways we define love and commitment.

In this episode, we dive deep into the uncomfortable but necessary conversation about cheating. From Carlos’ childhood where infidelity was normalized, to the psychology of why men cheat, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most taboo relationship topics out there.

We explore:

  • Is emotional cheating worse than physical cheating?
  • How wealth, power, and machismo shape infidelity
  • The hidden psychology of unmet needs and betrayal
  • Insights from The State of Affairs by Esther Perel and Eight Dates by John Gottman
  • The big question: is sex a “need”… or just a desire?


If you’ve ever questioned what counts as cheating, why it happens, or whether relationships can truly recover, this episode will challenge what you thought you knew about love and loyalty.
