Summary
Talking points: relationships, infidelity, betrayal
The damage from infidelity in a relationship can be complex, traumatic, and last far longer than you might think. What's more, there aren't a lot of men-specific resources out there. Fortunately Adam is changing that. If you or someone you know has experienced infidelity, strongly encourage you to share this one.
(00:00:00) - Why Adam wrote his book, and the stigmas men experience when they’re cheated on
(00:05:13) - How important is it that all parties see the part they may have played, and what NOT to do
(00:15:35) - What leads a woman to have an affair, what to do when you find out, and what happens to a man’s identity when betrayed
(00:26:10) - Navigating jealousy and grief
(00:40:27) - What’s possible in the reconciliation process?
(00:43:53) - On creating safety and repair after betrayal
