Cheating

Esther Perel talks about infidelity without demonizing anyone, and gets it exactly right.

My ethical compass spins differently depending on the woman, the situation, the lies being told and to whom — and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.

I don’t get off on breaking the rules. I want everyone — every lover, every partner — to be just fine with everything I do. Risk scares me. It doesn’t excite me.

I’m judging people who judge people, and I see the irony — but I’m not backing down.
