Cheating is a learned trait. It is learned by being surrounded by liars, narcissists, deceptive people and a lack of transparency. It forces victims into a dark world of feeling that others cannot be trusted and one must cheat on others before getting cheated on.
Ever wondered why some people cheat in relationships? In this eye-opening episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives deep into the underlying reasons behind infidelity. Drawing from his extensive experience as a relationship life coach, Yitz explores how childhood trauma—like abuse, neglect, or abandonment—sets the stage for cheating later in life. According to him, these early experiences create a blueprint where intimacy is often met with skepticism and distrust.
Cheating then becomes a coping mechanism for the fear of betrayal and an inability to trust fully. But it’s not just about physical acts; Yitz points out that cheating can also take the form of emotional neglect, excessive flirting, or even fantasizing about others. He argues that these behaviors are moral failings that show a lack of empathy and relational maturity.
To break free from these destructive patterns, Yitz suggests working through these deep-seated issues to build healthy, positive connections that reignite passion and trust in relationships. By understanding the roots of infidelity, listeners can gain valuable insights into their own relationships and take steps toward healing and emotional resilience.
