Infidelity in Marriage
Posted by: | Comments
On this episode of Sex After Divorce with Juliana Neiman, we discuss sexual indiscretions.
Infidelity happens in relationships for many different reasons. Some feel they aren’t receiving the attention they deserve from their partner, and seek a sexual or emotional relationship elsewhere. For others, it may be something that happened out of the blue, and afterwards, left them feeling guilty and ashamed.
Some marriages head towards divorce after a partner who has had an indiscretion told their partner of their affair. The question is, if you are in a relationship and had an affair, realized it was a mistake, and vow to never do it again, should you tell your partner? You might be surprised with Juliana’s answer. We take a look at the cause and effect of infidelity in marriage and offer advice on preventing affairs.
Also discussed in the program:
- Open relationships
- Is an emotional affair more damaging than a sexual affair?

- And much more.

Juliana helps us understand the true meaning of intimacy. Intimacy is emotional, spiritual and physical at the same time. By showing trust in our partner, we open ourselves to a more intimate relationship.

But as important as trust is to the healthy functioning of these relationships, too many people just go through the motions, roll the dice and hope that trust emerges. If you want real trust in your relationship you simply have to work at building it. But how do you go about doing this?
