Some People Cheat Because They Are Lonely

Sometimes people cheat because they feel invisible to the person they're already with. It's not always about wanting someone new. In this episode, Stacey gets into why some affairs stem from a lack of fulfillment rather than lust. Drawing on her history as both the cheater and the cheated on, she breaks down the loneliness that thrives inside relationships that look completely fine on the surface. This isn't an excuse for breaking trust. It's about the harder question underneath it all.
