I once met a young woman who was just weeks away from her wedding. Despite having no concrete proof, she was convinced her fiancé was having an affair.

The stress had taken a toll—she had lost 15 pounds, hadn’t slept for two weeks, and felt so anxious that she gagged whenever she tried to eat. 

The only thing alerting her to potential infidelity was an unshakable gut feeling that something wasn’t right. Overwhelmed and heartbroken, she sobbed as she shared her pain, repeating, “This wasn’t supposed to be my life.”

To make matters worse, she had been the only mother figure her fiancé’s children had ever known, and she had planned to adopt them after their wedding. 

She was desperate for answers. One of the key things we discussed was the warning signs of infidelity—something that has scientific research behind it.
