Why does Esther Perel reframe infidelity?
I reframe infidelity not as a simple act of betrayal, but as a symptom of deeper relational dynamics and unmet needs. It often signals a yearning for something lost or a quest for lost parts of oneself. By understanding the 'why' behind infidelity—the desire for recognition, for adventure, for reconnection—couples can move beyond blame and begin to address the underlying issues that may have eroded intimacy and excitement. It's an opportunity for profound introspection.
