In light of the recent news that beautiful specimen Em Rata got cheated on, the whole world is shouting 'WTF'... and we are too. People are thinking - if it could happen to her, then it could happen to anyone, and are any of us truly safe from the big bad concept of infidelity and a partner being unfaithful? It is thought that 1 in 4 adults are unfaithful at some point in their life and in today’s episode, Louise & clinical psychologist Dr Tari Mack go deep into why people cheat, but perhaps more importantly and interestingly - how you can build a relationship that will withstand the likelihood of infidelity. The pair discuss personality traits, communication, needs, boundaries, intimacy, sex, curiosity and more and a ton of free therapy tips on how to navigate love and attraction both inside your relationship and outside of it.  Louise shares her very personal insights from her own journey around infidelity and learning the hard way that often it says a lot more about you, than the person you are cheating with.
