Hey, just wanted to jump in here with a quick bonus section.
We’ll try to do one of these at the end of each section, just to unpack some of the myths around cheating.

Because honestly… a lot of what we believe about infidelity is just wrong.
Stuff we’ve heard from friends, family and social media.

And those myths?
They mess with how you see things.
They make you miss stuff.
They make you question yourself when you shouldn’t.
They make you assume things that aren’t true.

I want to call that stuff out.

So let’s start with one of the biggest myths:
Cheating only happens in unhappy relationships.

This one is everywhere.
When a man cheats, how often does some guy say, “But what did she do wrong? People don’t cheat unless something is wrong at home.”

A lot of people genuinely believe that if the relationship is good, cheating won’t happen.
If you give your partner enough love, attention, and effort, you can “affair-proof” the whole thing.

It sounds logical.
After all, why would someone stray from a perfectly happy relationship?

We call this the prevention myth, and it’s
Just. Not. True.

People cheat in unhappy relationships, and they cheat in happy ones too.

There are women who give everything to their partner.

They stay loyal.
They support his goals.
They hold the house together.
They plan birthdays, take care of kids, make sure dinner’s done.
They send good morning texts, initiate sex.
They listen to him vent about work, defend him to friends and family.
They sacrifice.
They give.
They love fully.

And still... he cheats.

Cheating doesn’t just happen when things are broken.
It happens when he wants more. More attention, more excitement, more ego boosts.
Even when he already has something good.

Take Jeff.

His marriage was going through a little rough patch.
Some distance. Some arguments. Nothing unfixable.

Rebecca, his wife, noticed the growing distance and decided she would become the perfect wife.
She started doing more around the house, looking after the kids, was more affectionate, initiated sex more… really tried to reconnect.

And Jeff?

He thought, “This is great. My wife is amazing, my marriage is back on track… and I still get to have sex with my secretary on the side.”

If cheating only happened in unhappy relationships, this program wouldn’t need to exist.
Because your love alone would be enough.

But it’s not.

You could do everything right.
Be beautiful, loyal, fun, completely in love…
and it still wouldn’t stop a man who’s already decided your love isn’t enough for his ego.

A bad person will always do bad things.

This is why this program matters.

Because when you believe cheating only happens in unhappy relationships, you stop trusting yourself.
You explain away the red flags.
You work harder.
You try to be even more loving, more patient, more understanding.

And all the while… the truth is sitting right in front of you.

This program is here so you don’t waste your time trying to fix something that isn’t yours to fix.
It’s here so you don’t ignore your gut just because everything looks fine on the surface.
It’s here to show you what cheating actually looks like…
how to spot it…
and how to stop blaming yourself for someone else’s choices.

Don’t be the last to know.
Don’t be the one left looking like a fool while everyone else is whispering behind your back or quietly feeling sorry for you.

If you’re ready to take control, let’s dive into over fifty of the most important warning signs of cheating.
