Why People Have Affairs - EP38


Listen Later

Affairs aren’t just about sex or betrayal. They’re often unconscious attempts to soothe old wounds left behind by childhood neglect, inconsistent caregiving, or unmet emotional needs. Today, we break down two common patterns of what we call “attachment affairs”: the detacher, who fears losing themselves in connection and seeks control through emotional distance, and the clinger, who anxiously pursues love to avoid the terror of abandonment. Understanding this doesn’t excuse betrayal, but it gives us a more honest and compassionate lens through which to view it. If you’ve ever wondered why people cheat or if you’ve been impacted by infidelity, this episode offers a grounded, eye-opening take.
