TED Talk: Rethinking infidelity…a talk for anyone who has ever loved

Why do we cheat?

And why do happy people cheat?

What when we say infidelity, what exactly do we mean? Is it a hook up? A love story? Paid sex? A chat room? A massage with happy endings?

Is an affair always the end of a relationship?

In this talk from 2015, we unpack these questions and why affairs are so traumatic: because they threaten our emotional security. In infidelity, we see something unexpected — an expression of longing and loss. A must-watch for anyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for understanding relationships.
