Podcasts about affairs

Is subscribing to someone's OnlyFans cheating? What about texting an ex, keeping a dating app "just to look", or fantasising about someone else during sex? In this special watershed episode, we're diving into the murky grey areas of modern relationships with a boundary-pushing cheating quiz that sparks some surprisingly revealing conversations. Together, we unpack the behaviours that sit between loyalty and betrayal, exploring emotional affairs, secret crushes, dating apps, hidden messages, workplace flirtations, exes, social media boundaries, and what "cheating" actually means in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships. The truth? There isn't one universal definition. What feels harmless to one person might feel devastating to another. This episode is designed to help you better understand your own boundaries, communicate your expectations, and start the conversations many couples avoid until it's too late. ⚠️ This is a Watershed episode. Free listeners get the first half of the conversation, but if you want the full debate, all our answers, and the deeper discussions around ENM, trust, honesty and relationship agreements, you'll need to join us on Patreon. Whether you're happily monogamous, exploring ethical non-monogamy, or simply wondering where your own line is, this episode will leave you with plenty to think about.

A guy named Paul wrote in. His wife went through menopause three years ago. Since then — almost no sex. And every time he brings it up, she shows him articles and tells him this is just how it is now.So Paul started believing her. Started feeling like a jerk for even wanting it.In this episode I break down what's actually true about menopause and sex drive, why "it's biology" can become a conversation-ender that goes unquestioned, and what men in this situation are getting wrong when they accept the premise without pushing back.If you're in your 50s and feel like your needs have just been medically cancelled — this one is for you.

Have you and your partner ever actually sat down and defined what counts as cheating? Most of us never do, which is exactly why the gray areas get so complicated. We're back with Part 3 of Is This Cheating?, weighing in on your trickiest, most "wait, is that okay?" scenarios.

Newly released documents show that Jeffrey Epstein urged billionaire media mogul Mortimer Zuckerman to relinquish control over his personal and business affairs, citing concerns about Zuckerman's health and mental capacity. Epstein reportedly suggested that Zuckerman consider entering a form of guardianship or conservatorship, positioning himself as someone capable of helping manage or influence those affairs. The communication reflects the unusually personal and advisory role Epstein attempted to play in the lives of powerful figures within his network.The revelations add to a growing body of evidence showing Epstein's efforts to exert influence over elite individuals beyond financial dealings, extending into media, personal decision-making, and institutional control. Zuckerman, a prominent media owner, had already been linked to Epstein through prior disclosures showing attempts by Epstein to shape press coverage. Taken together, the documents suggest a pattern in which Epstein leveraged relationships with influential figures not just for access, but to potentially gain leverage over their operations and decision-making.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein urged media mogul to give up control of affairs, citing health | Business and Economy | Al Jazeera

Elizabeth Stephenson and Sarah J. Hink of New Direction Family Law introduce new attorney Tyler E. Kaestner, who recently moved from Pennsylvania to Raleigh, and discuss key differences between Pennsylvania and North Carolina family law and procedure. They compare divorce timelines and separation requirements (including Pennsylvania's ability to be “separated” while living in the same home), custody processes using conciliation officers and Zoom conferences, and child support rules such as Pennsylvania's lack of retroactive child support and use of net income. They also cover easier modification standards in Pennsylvania, shorter alimony durations there versus longer potential awards in North Carolina, North Carolina's alienation of affection/criminal conversation claims and proposed legislative changes, and major differences in discovery and subpoena procedures. They warn against relying on Google/AI or friends for legal advice, noting AI outputs may be wrong and what you enter into AI may be discoverable.00:00 Child Support Shock00:44 Meet the Attorneys00:58 Tyler Joins the Firm02:21 Divorce Filing Rules03:06 What Counts as Separation04:50 NC Law May Change06:38 Custody Process Differences08:50 Out of State Orders09:53 Child Support Pitfalls12:46 Guidelines Net vs Gross13:40 Modifying Orders Loopholes14:31 Custody Mods Without Change15:42 Mediation Differences16:34 Conference Officer Path17:14 Alimony Rules Compared18:22 Alienation Claims Drama20:22 Affairs and Alimony Bars21:49 Subpoenas and Discovery Shock23:56 AI and Legal Pitfalls25:41 Pro Se TikTok Warnings26:52 Wrap Up and Thanks

In a February 2026 internal meeting with employees of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates acknowledged that he had two extramarital affairs with Russian women during his marriage to Melinda French Gates. According to reports from The Wall Street Journal and others, Gates said one relationship was with a Russian bridge player he met at events and the other with a Russian nuclear physicist he encountered through business activities. He stressed that these affairs were unrelated to any of Jeffrey Epstein's victims and that he never witnessed or took part in any illegal behavior.Gates framed his admissions as part of a broader apology for his past association with Epstein, which included meetings and travel together after Epstein's 2008 conviction that Gates now calls “a huge mistake.” He told the staff that his interactions with Epstein, including involving foundation executives, had cast a shadow over the organization's reputation and that he regretted the decisions. Gates maintained he had “done nothing illicit” while also taking responsibility for the personal and professional consequences of his choicesto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates admits he had two affairs with Russian women, apologizes for Epstein linksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Step into a raw, delicious and love-affirming conversation with Jenn Pinkerton, psychotherapist, certified sex therapist, relationship expert, and host of the Red Head Reveal Podcast, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Jenn's work centers around one powerful truth: we are wired for connection, yet so many people are living in profound disconnection from themselves, their relationships, and their deepest desires. I agree! Jenn shares her personal journey through grief, abandonment, and identity after losing her father at a young age. She vulnerably opens up about becoming a "chameleon" in her early life, shaping herself to fit the needs of others while losing connection to her authentic self. That wound eventually became the doorway into her life's work: helping people return to who they truly are beneath the coping strategies, fear, shame, and survival patterns. We explore the four core wounds that shape so many relationships, including abandonment, not feeling good enough, not belonging, and not feeling worthy. Jenn beautifully explains how these wounds influence intimacy, communication, defensiveness, sexuality, perfectionism, avoidance, and even the kinds of relationships we choose. Rather than blaming the past, she invites us into deeper self-awareness, compassion, and responsibility for how these wounds show up in our present-day lives. Jenn also shares her groundbreaking work helping couples heal after infidelity, revealing that affairs are often less about another person and more about the longing to feel alive, connected, desired, and emotionally seen. We discuss how betrayal can either become the ending of a relationship or the catalyst to build an entirely new one rooted in honesty, vulnerability, emotional safety, and genuine connection. We also talk about: -Why connection is our birthright -Emotional safety as the foundation of intimacy and desire -Healing abandonment wounds and relationship insecurity -The difference between physical arousal and true desire -Why vulnerability is essential for intimacy -Infidelity, betrayal, and rebuilding trust -Overcoming defensiveness and learning repair -Desire mismatch, shame, and purity culture -The importance of curiosity, creativity, and novelty in relationships -"Groundhog Day" marriages and how couples lose connection -Empty nesting and rediscovering joy together -How slowing down creates deeper emotional intimacy -Why consideration may be the highest form of love -The power of emotional presence, co-regulation, and nervous system safety This episode is a reminder that relationships are not meant to simply survive. They are meant to change, evolve, deepen, awaken, and expand us. Jenn's wisdom invites us to slow down, soften the armor, and courageously reconnect to ourselves and the people we love most. It is a conversation about the perfectly imperfect journey of intimacy, healing, vulnerability, and the profound beauty that becomes possible when two people are willing to truly see each other authentically again.

The stress, fear, and uncertainty of the world right now are seeping into our closest relationships. When collective pain goes unprocessed, it often shows up as distance, resentment, or disconnection with the people we love most — at a time when we need closeness more than ever. In this conversation, Esther Perel helps us understand how stress and trauma drain our relationships of aliveness and desire, why resentment grows when life becomes all duty and efficiency, and how to stay connected and loving in hard times. - Why your relationship isn't broken — it's exhausted- How resentment grows when efficiency replaces intimacy- Why desire disappears under responsibility - Why your partner can't be your whole village- What “behind every criticism is a longing” really means About Esther: Psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author Esther Perel is recognized as one of today's most insightful and original voices on modern relationships.

Together, Thais and Lisa unpack the subconscious beliefs that fueled Lisa's fear of abandonment, her tendency to seek validation through relationships, and the emotional disconnection that ultimately contributed to her affair. Through vulnerable reflection, emotional processing, and practical healing strategies, this conversation reveals how deeply unmet needs—not shame or failure—often sit beneath destructive relationship behaviors. You'll learn how unresolved childhood wounds can shape adult relationships, why emotional needs must be communicated instead of suppressed, and how rebuilding self-worth begins with no longer outsourcing your value to other people. Whether you've experienced betrayal, emotional neglect, divorce, abandonment wounds, or relationship anxiety, this episode offers powerful insights into healing attachment patterns and creating healthier emotional connection.
