10 Ways to Betray a Lover

April 4, 2022

No, this is not a clip from the world-famous Paul Simon song.  We will not be hopping on a bus, nor dropping off the keys….  This is a real discussion on how individuals in a committed relationship break trust – and what can be done to rebuild that trust.

I feel like I’ve written on this topic quite often, as it comes into my clinical office quite a bit, sadly.  But as sad as that is – it is still repairable.  That is the work – the hard work – we often do in counseling.

Sexual infidelity is often considered to be a ‘deal breaker’ in committed relationships. It is something I work with often in my clinical work, and I am happy to say, those couples who put forth the effort, DO come back from it. However, BETRAYAL takes on many forms – some so innocuous, we often don’t consider them to be a breach of the committed contract. But they are. And they should be avoided if possible, or healed when they are committed. So, in this episode, I offer 10 betrayals to avoid. And with the help of Rabbi B., we discuss what they might mean in your relationship. Enjoy!
