,

See the Blog Post This Episode was Inspired By>>>

Interview Summary: This transcript is a discussion between Morgan Robinson and Brad Robinson, about the topic of emotional infidelity. [00:03] 

We define emotional infidelity as the formation of a deep emotional connection with someone outside of the primary relationship, which violates the boundaries established by the couple. [00:19] 

We discuss the impact of emotional infidelity, the differences between a harmless opposite-sex friendship and an emotional affair, and provide guidance on how to rebuild trust and connection after infidelity. [00:08]

Key Points

  • Emotional infidelity involves crossing boundaries of intimacy and forming a deep emotional connection with someone outside of the primary relationship. [00:19]

  • Emotional infidelity can be just as damaging as physical infidelity, as it leads to a violation of trust and a breakdown in the primary relationship. [00:20]

  • When a partner denies or dismisses the other's concerns about emotional infidelity, it can lead to further emotional pain and a deepening of the relationship injury. [01:56]

  • Rebuilding trust and connection after infidelity requires the couple to heal together, not just through external support, but by reconnecting and rebuilding their emotional intimacy. [06:29]

Ep 77: Secret Trait of Serial Offenders
