“While I appreciate the support for the betrayed partner is much greater than what you’ll find on other podcasts and platforms, the fact that sexual infidelity is not identified as abuse is extremely harmful to the betrayed partner. In order for there to be full validation, there has to be the recognition that the lies, gaslighting, coercive control, is - by definition - psychological abuse. It’s easier for an addict to shift blame for their actions to past traumas rather than to fully take responsibility and be held accountable for their entitled beliefs and abusive behaviors.”
