Catch me on TV at @wpix talking about whether it's #Burnout or @#betrayal. pix11.com/video/burnout-or-b…
Yes.
And that’s the part nobody wants to talk about.
Because if they didn’t love you, it would be easier.
You could walk away clean.
You could make it black and white.
But real life isn’t that simple.

He didn’t cheat to leave.
He cheated to cope.
That doesn’t make it okay.
But it explains something most people miss…
Full episode in description.
“What if… you planned this?”
Not just the easy parts.
The hardest parts.
This isn’t about blind belief.
It’s about being willing to consider a different perspective.
Because if there is meaning…
everything begins to shift.
🎧 Listen to the full episode—
You’re asking:
“Why did this happen to me?”
In this episode, I’m joined by Rob Schwartz, author of Your Soul’s Plan, to explore a perspective that might feel surprising at first:
Pre-birth planning.

One of the biggest mistakes couples make after infidelity?
Trying to fix the relationship…
without first healing the individuals inside it.
Because here’s the truth:
A relationship is made up of two people—
with different wounds,
different histories,
different needs.
You’ve probably asked yourself, more times than you can count:
👉 “How could he cheat if he loved me?”
If you’re trying to understand something that was never explained to you.

Stop Saying “I Wasted My Life”
That sentence feels true in the moment.
But it keeps you stuck.
Here’s the reframe I had to make:
For a while, I was stuck in a situation I didn’t want to be in.
That shift is sovereignty.

Martyrdom isn’t love.
I used to wear my sacrifice like a badge.
Look how much I give.
Look how hard I work.
Self-sacrifice isn’t love.
Infidelity didn’t just expose his wounds.
It exposed mine.

If you were betrayed, you were victimized.
Full stop.
But there is a fork in the road that comes later.
One path says:
“This happened to me. My life is ruined.”
The other says:
“This happened to me. And I choose to rise.”

Betrayal didn’t create your wounds.
It exposed them.
For the longest time I thought:
This is his problem.
He cheated.
But...
Betrayal exposed my
Perfectionism.
Good girl conditioning.
Self-abandonment.
People-pleasing.
Martyrdom.

The most insidious part of relationship?
You don’t even realize you’re falling apart.
You think everything is fine.
You think if something was wrong, you would have talked about it.
But when both people are high-functioning, capable, and busy…
disconnection hides
Most couples don’t fall apart overnight.
They erode.
There are four conflict patterns that predict separation more than anything else:
• Criticism
• Defensiveness
• Contempt
• Stonewalling (emotional flooding)
🎧 Listen to:
The “Perfect” Couple and Infidelity:
Affairs aren’t always about sex.
Sometimes they’re about coping.
We think cheating is about lust or dissatisfaction.
But what if it’s actually a maladaptive coping mechanism?
