086- Cheating, Monogamy, and the Rules We Never Agreed To

Host Samantha and co-host Anthony dive headfirst into the murky waters of cheating. They kick things off by acknowledging the classic definition of infidelity but quickly veer into those gray areas that can spark heated debates. Is scrolling through adult content a betrayal? What about a seemingly innocent dance or a friendly chat that feels a little too close for comfort? They even touch on how cultural norms heavily influence what we consider crossing the line.The conversation gets personal as Samantha and Anthony share their own experiences with being cheated on, highlighting the varied emotional responses this kind of breach of trust can trigger. This leads to a crucial question: how do you even broach the topic of defining cheating with a new partner, especially when past hurts linger? They tease some insights on navigating these delicate conversations later in the episode, so listeners should stick around.They then explore how the definition of cheating shifts in non monogamous relationships, emphasizing that agreements and open communication are key. The hosts recount a relatable moment from early in their own relationship that perfectly illustrates how assumptions can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Ultimately, they underscore the vital role of trust in any relationship and how violations of that trust, regardless of definition, can lead to significant damage.Thank you so much for tuning in and being here.
