The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity

Infidelity can devastate a couple's relationship, happiness, and even their sense of self. Despite being a common human experience, it remains poorly understood. The question remains: how do we reconcile this time-honored taboo that is universally forbidden yet universally practiced? What drives people to cheat, even in seemingly happy marriages? And why does the pain of an affair cut so deep? With a focus on psychological and cultural analysis, Perel delves into real-life case studies in this informative and insightful book about the complex nature of infidelity.
