Often times I hear people in adulterous relationships say how cheating made them feel younger and more alive again. They tell me about the thrill and titillation of safeguarding a secret union, and how an affair allowed them to engage sexual fantasies they wouldn’t necessarily explore with their own partner.

An affair can feel very dreamy and movie-like until the cheater gets caught. Then what happens? How do cheaters face their partners, their families, and their children?

In the first half of this episode, I am speaking with a prominent Connecticut matrimonial attorney who shares anecdotes about cheaters who got caught. In the second half, Connecticut based Trevor Crow, an LMFT, MBA, Certified Executive Coach and Certified EFT Therapist shares couples’ dramatic cheating revelations and confessions.

Through my guests’ stories and anecdotes, this episode explores the implications of getting caught from both a legal and emotional perspective.
