He Cheated. Was My Entire Marriage a Lie? - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2023-03-07T16:51:01
Dr. Rob and Tami share some light into why an addict might betray their spouse’s trust. Was the last 40-plus years of marriage all a lie? The answer is no. Addicts are deeply broken people and, although this is not an excuse, they show love in very puzzling and misguided ways. Dr. Rob and Tami offer some understanding and insight into why an addict might think, and do, the things that they do.
