Ep #21: Affairs Part 2: Five Mistakes Husbands Make When They Find Out & What Women Really Want in Relationship (hint, you’ll find it in the ACOTAR series)

Hey beautiful souls!

I’m back, and today, we’re diving deep into two powerful topics: affairs and the societal shift in romantic relationships and marriages. First, let me share a bit of my journey. Life threw me a curveball after a family trip to Vegas, triggering my CPTSD in a big way. It was a tough ride, and I had to press pause and focus on my healing. This break gave me the clarity and strength to bring even more depth to our discussions.

In Part Two of our series on affairs, we’re exploring the history of marriage, societal expectations, and the mistakes husbands often make when they discover an affair. Whether you’re dealing with infidelity or contemplating divorce, this episode will offer insights and a fresh perspective. I’ll break down the five biggest mistakes I see husbands make when they find out about an affair and why these reactions can push you further away rather than bring you closer.

But our conversation goes beyond individual marriages and affairs. We’re also talking about a broader societal shift where we’re redefining what’s acceptable in romantic relationships. We’ve had centuries of inequality and hidden abuse towards women, and it’s time to change that narrative. Let’s take a moment to feel immense gratitude for the rights we have today—our ability to leave, start our own businesses, and live independently.

I share a personal story about a past relationship to illustrate how patriarchy has limited men too, keeping them from being fully emotional humans. Imagine a world where men and women embrace their full emotional spectrum, leading to true mutuality in relationships. We’ll also geek out on “A Court of Thorns and Roses” (spoiler alert for those who haven’t read it! Stop listening at 56:13 and pick back up at 1:01:03) and how it beautifully portrays the shift from wounded dynamics to a relationship based on mutual respect and equality.

Join me as we advocate for an age of mutuality in relationships. It’s a rocky road, but we are the brave souls paving the way for a future of true partnership and deep, fulfilling connections.

Tune in, own your truth, and let’s navigate this journey together.
