Wholesale Robbery: The Effects of Marital Cheating On Children

Last week we discussed staying married after marital cheating. The discussion ranged from cheating celebrities to family members, and the work necessary to rebuild a marriage after marital cheating destroys trust. This discussion raised the issue of how children often know of their parents’ cheating, even when the parents think they are sneaking. Today’s show gives more attention to this reality and the effect that “knowing” has on children and the adults they become. Dr. Jenn’s book “The Honeymoon Won’t Last Forever!” (www.5uglyfacts.com) tells us that parental cheating is one element in relationship baggage which can significantly impede the creation of satisfying intimate relationships.
