Accuse Me Of Cheating
Manage episode 302999064 series 2892849
This week, Jules, Vickey, and Rebecca consider the many reasons why our partners might worry that we are cheating on them. The question really is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how our thinking brains handle unknowns--fears, worries, insecurities. Our partner’s implicit memories can be triggered by an action without them even being aware of it. Or we may not know how to handle their insecurity, so the things we do out of a desire to protect them may come off as sketchy instead. Whatever the reason, the silver lining is always the opportunity for a conversation, not out of defensiveness, but out of curiosity.
