Summary
In the latest episode of Why Did We Break Up?, Katie is still reeling after ending a 21-month affair with a married man who doesn't seem to grasp why him not leaving his wife is a deal-breaker. Natalie helps Katie make the link between this affair, the breakdown of her marriage and earlier experiences in life so that she can use the pain of the fallout of this relationship as a vehicle for huge growth and healing.
The blog post that Natalie refers to in the episode about being the favourite child (or wanting to be) influences our disposition to be involved in an affair http://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/being-the-favourite-child-or-wanting-to-be-influences-our-disposition-to-involved-in-an-affair/
Also, the post on there's no such thing as an honest cheat http://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/theres-no-such-thing-as-an-honest-cheat-and-other-thoughts-on-cheating/
And another on why affairs are like being double-crossed in a heist http://www.baggagereclaim.co.uk/why-affairs-are-like-being-double-crossed-in-a-heist/

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to episode 45 of the baggage reclaim sessions and it's time for an addition of why did we break up |
| 0:09.3 | I'm your host Natalie Lou author of baggage Baggage Reclaim.com, where I help people to |
| 0:14.9 | offload the shady relationships and emotional baggage that block healthy |
| 0:18.6 | self-esteem and loving relationships. This is the third edition of Why Did We Break Up, |
| 0:25.0 | and I am loving this series so far |
| 0:28.0 | and all of the feedback and stories that I've been getting from people |
| 0:31.0 | who really connect with what I'm doing here, which is really |
| 0:34.8 | shedding a light on what really happens in relationships and the truth behind |
| 0:39.0 | break-ups, not the story we tell ourselves, not the hard time we give us where it's like our ego running |

| 1:14.3 | in the question. If you could tell somebody in one sentence why the |
| 1:19.2 | relationship didn't work and why you broke up, what would you say? |
| 1:24.0 | Katie says, he is married and has no current intention of leaving his marriage. |
| 1:31.0 | This reason is almost true. |
| 1:35.6 | He is indeed married. |
| 1:38.0 | But not only does he have no current or past or future intention of leaving his marriage, certainly not anything |
