WORLD:
You say that people who are happy in their relationship also cheat.
Esther Perel:
Everyone knows that people cheat because frustration and bitterness have accumulated in the relationship, because they are lonely, because intimacy has been lost.
These are understandable reasons.
But a lot of people come to me who are not unhappy with their partner.
You have been loyal for decades.
They love their partner.
They quarrel terribly with themselves. And yet they have an affair.
I am interested in these cases where you ask yourself: Why is this happening now?
WORLD:
And why?
