We're diving deep into the toxic aftermath of betrayal, exploring why snooping around his phone isn’t the answer, and to look for THIS instead.
Annnnd…
To make sure we’re really capturing this conversation from all sides, I’ve included this epic conversation with Lewis Howes. From the ladies’ unfaithful and insecure man, to being a man with a mission, a purpose and values ready to be committed to one woman.
Let me know below what your biggest a-ha moment was during this episode with Sadia and how will it change your approach to relationships.
SADIA KHAN QUOTES:
“They can love you but have unmet needs. And with men, because communication isn't their forte, they don't like to communicate what these unmet needs are. So they outsource them.”
“If you can make quality time to ask more open-ended questions to your partner, it makes a world of a difference.”
“If you want to know someone's having an affair, you have to look at your emotional connection with each other. If you have an emotional connection with each other where on a daily basis you're connecting, you're speaking to each other, you are emotionally, physically, spiritually connected, it's difficult for that person to stray without you realizing, you'll notice within a day or two.”
“It's always good to identify your own red flags so you don't have to control people.”
“When you are insecure, you'd rather be right than be happy, unfortunately. So you'd rather predict all the problems, [...] and self-sabotage than just trust the process and accept you might be wrong.”
“Insecurity is when you bring this baggage with you in every relationship, in every situation. It's familiar. You do this a lot. Don't confuse intuition and insecurity.”
“Try not to punish people for things that they didn't do or didn't cause in you.”

Dang I suuuper appreciate her honesty. I completely relate to her experience and insecurities. This episode has soooo many gems. Definitely saving this one to my playlist. "Insecurities are not sexy" Building confidence in yourself. Knowing your Insecurities and working on them. Not depending on your partner to help build you up. Nowing your boundaries and what behaviorsyoure willing to accept. Communicate as much as you possibly can. You cannot control your partner and their actions, but you can control yourself. Don't forgive and stay if you know you're not able to move forward and not hold it against them. Walk away. Pick your poison. Now the difference between intuition and insecurity. Teach your partner how to love you, don't expect them to know.

@@JanetMacCallum As you can see from my pic, I'm a big adult male. I have a problem with your (popular) application of the word "cheating" because it does not account for the fact that men and women are biologically different. Males MOSTLY initiate s3x directly while females MOSTLY seek attention which leads to s3x. In other words, the masculine hyperagency vs feminine hypoagency must be considered when using the word "cheat"/"cheating".

[@charlotteblanchard]

We all have needs and those of us who lack a degree of self control will stoop to unfaithfulness to meet those needs, whether you’re a man or woman. Men shouldn’t get a pass for their infidelity. A real man and a real woman hold themselves accountable, whether needs are met or not.

I mean how else would they get all of their atrocities and hideous plans facilitated, played out and push through through

[@scottfindeisen6617]

I 100% agree with this. I do want to know that, other than what we discussed and know about, I HAVE NEVER CHEATED ON YOU WITH ANYONE. Also, this is going to shock you, but it’s important that I say this to you. In the last 24 hours, especially in the last eight, I’ve come full circle and want to say to you. I’m sorry for all my faults. I’m sorry for any way that I may have hurt you and I want to thank you for coming into my life and making the biggest change in who I am hopefully it’ll change my future. This is regardless of whatever may happen between you and I that’s got nothing to do with what I’m saying. I do hope eventually or maybe not eventually maybe you already know, the truth about each of us what we stand for who we are at carriage you moving forward to get whatever you desire. I do not want you leave this relationship or move forward with any more anger or hatred. So whether I ever see you again I wanna say thank you thank you for changing my life for the better. Good luck. I do love you but I’m a big boy and I understand things are the way they are and I can handle whatever happens.

It doesn't matter how much sugarcoating there is. If you cheat on someone, you don't love that person. Full stop. No need to embellish it with soft lies.

[@matinaki1644]

Exactly. From my experience you can cheat only when you kind of like one person but what you love about them is how they love you (attention, care etc). You don't actually love them. You love them loving you. This is a crucial difference many don't get. As for my experience no, I haven't cheated nor been cheated on (to my knowledge of course). But yes, I was thinking about other men when I was with a guy whom I liked but not loved. I just liked and loved the way he was loving me. If I had ended up marrying him I would probably have cheated after 5-10 years and maybe justified it just like all cheaters do in order to feel better.

[@StimParavane]

A statement like that sounds so simple... But it then raises the question, "what is love?" and then "what is cheating?"... And what happens next? .. Is love just a yes or no question, does it ever change with time? Does it get stronger as you grow together? Then so too it can get weaker? .. Why do we love people, is it just one element we like or a multitude of different things that appeal to us? .. Can we see things we like in others that our partner doesn't have? .. Do other people make us feel appreciated in ways that our partner might not? .. Is it wrong to feel valued by people other than our partner? .. I think its foolish to apply simple logic without trying to understand why.. You break the rule, you are out! .. What then do you say to all the people who have repaired relationships where one person did cheat? Should they have just let go because clearly their partner didn't love them anymore?

True. But reality is a lot of relationships aren’t that way. For the most part men still want their alone time and sex. If a woman can’t be both a mom and then separate that from being a sexual partner then the guy is gonna cheat eventually. I’m currently with a man who’s ex wife couldn’t be both. She depraved him of sex. So he left.

You do not need your man - if you do not have sex with him.. It is actually that simple. Entitled selfish women does not care if their man loves them or not..

[@misa5941]

I think the point is that both parties do not communicate around their needs. She thinks baby comes first and all other needs come secondary. If he was able to communicate that he needs xyz, and she communicates she needs abc then they could both work to do/give that too each other. Takes 2 people communicating needs and takes 2 people being able to listen and not be defensive. It’s also important to not dismiss the other persons need as unimportant, even if it’s not important to you.

[@StimParavane]

Another feminist ideologue. Women lose interest in sex once they have a baby. It's understandable. Why not have some sympathy for the husband's unmet need for sex?

[@flyandshy00]

One answer: 1. Lack of empathy; 2. Thrill of chase that they need constantly; 3. High libido; 4. Not loving their wife/not being attracted to her, marrying her for other reasons: settling, nice family fasade, money. 5. Opportunity, right time, right woman, right place. 6. Sex additction/ lack of variety of women. 7. Woman starting to age, if he chose her for physical beauty - he's gonna leave.

[@lauriem2053]

[@amandathemystic1828]

[@redzeoin5678]

I listened to this with interests concern and consideration. And then listened to it again where I asked my two sons ( eldest 35 and the youngest 18) their opinion and feedback on the ladies conversation. And to my astonishment they both expressed the same opinion. That both ladies came across as very intimidating within their expressional speech. And both sons said that intimidation within women now days makes men feel inferior, leaves us feeling we have no self worth. killing our masculinity to day within men. That's why men cheat and lie mum. But then I was even more pleasantly surprised when my son's thanked me for bringing them up to have self love, self worth and always have respect for women. So maybe the moral of the story is ladies that portraying the behaviour of intimidation Leads are son's into adulthood where potentially as mothers all you're doing is leading sons into men to cheat and lie. You are The Mothers of the next generational children please be gracious and mindful of your behaviour.

I think Sadia is right in this regard. Think of it like this: if you know you gave your all then you know it is how he is wired and is not your fault at all, he would do this with anyone. That can help you accept that there just can't ever be any other outcome. He simply never can be faithful no matter what. So you can pack your bags more easily. If you are dependant on him financially, maybe you stay and use hime for his resources, but your spirit and heart is checked out and you come up with your exit strategy. Your heart won't get broken by him again because you will stop giving a shit .

[@lubna.candid]

There are ALL types of women out there and she stated this being as ONE of the reasons why women take men back

[@sophine7189]

I see no lies in what she said. If you really gave your all then why forgive them? If you gave your all to the relationship and yourself would you really have such low esteem that you easily take them back? You didn't give your all! You didn't hold yourself at high regard. It's quiet simple to understand. Men want a woman to stay the way they fell in love with them. So if a women gained 100lbs during the relationship, how is she giving her all??? Alot of women don't even know what giving their all is.

[@teralecole316]

This one uses her beauty, eloquence and intelligence to advocate for terrible men. To me, the highest risk in a man cheating is risking his wife’s health and safety by bringing a disease to his faithful wife. A lot of women are ending up with cervical cancer and don’t know how. As a wife, you feel that there’s no need for condoms bc your husband swears up and down that he’s faithful and dedicated. Meanwhile, he’s stopping over at the strip club begging his favorite stripper to give him a bj. I use to bartend at such places and I’ve seen their true animalistic nature. A lot of married men don’t use protection when they cheat. My conclusion most men don’t like women.

[@manamichan100]

[@apaddy5390]

It’s truly disgusting, these same female and males will then turn around and say a woman need to have feelings in order to be intimate with a man. So these men are either sleeping with sex workers or leading on another woman to develop feelings for him. So not only is the wife at risk for STDs but she’s also at risk for being harmed by a jilted mistress.

Here's what happens when you choose to stay with a cheater: They will grovel for a few months but will tire of the same stories being brought up. They will tire of your trauma. They will attempt to silence any attempt you have to hash it out. You'll also never be able to talk it out. Talking won't change the fact that the person you love betrayed you. Talking it out won't change the fact that you now know they're a selfish, liar. You will never trust them or be able to love them the same way. You'll feel cheated out on a life of love because loving them will seem far too risky and fraudulent. The other person doesn't deserve you and if you have any self-respect you'll feel like you're wasting your precious life with a loser. You'll leave in one way or another, but you'll never be able to relax and breathe the way you once did. You'll have to choose yourself over them.

Imo, there is no universal reason for a man cheating. "Not getting their needs met" is what they tell themselves...but it shows a lack of maturity and honesty. In a relationship if you're dealing with unmet needs, you talk to your partner and address it together. When you cheat, you've essentially told hundreds of lies in order to do so...that's what makes cheating so damaging.

[@samco6884]

Well said! If we have unmet needs we do need to Communicate. And the other thing is, we aren’t all so focused on “getting our needs met” when we aren’t in relationships lol. There’s virtually no talk of it, and there will be plenty of needs unmet when we are single or in friendships. Anything. God, are we that selfish and self centred that we all believe all our needs in life should be met, always?! What happened to gratitude and being grateful for what we have. We could all say our needs aren’t met in terms of having enough money, or adoration from the world through fame, or having enough friends , a massive house or a boat or being happy all the time or confident all the time But suddenly in relationships it’s all about needs?

Having gone through some _very_ upsetting “values” some psychologist (and am still seeking a therapist currently) have, I _absolutely_ can believe that she’s advocating this. Biases are what make people people, and being a (“grown up”) tomboy I’ve had more psychologists try to insist I’m confused about my identity as a woman who enjoys stereotypical “man things.” Same with the concept of me forgiving my abuser when I was a child with no power. Same with “accepting” that a fully neglectful (to the point of lack of food for a tot) father “wasn’t that bad, because he could have been worse.” I’m more surprised that Sadia was given a platform here.

It's a very immature behavior (immaturity brings lack of commitment as well) and if they are not willing to work with you then as much as I don't like to throw in a towel we as women, who were and are faithful to their partners and dedicated to our families, need to recognize when to give up, let go and choose peace over this obstinacy.

And the fact that men don't speak up if their needs aren't met is due to either one of the following reasons: 1. They've spoken up about their feelings/needs to other women before and realized the hard way that women are turned off by such a behavior. Blame you! 2.

God's love is permanent and eternal! And once you enter into a covenant with Him, He will remain faithful until the end (2 Timothy 2:13: *"if we are faithless, he remains faithful-for he cannot deny himself"*). If we don't know the faithful ONE, how can we ever be truly faithful...? And if we don't know true love (which is sacrificial, love - Jesus's love), how can we truly love someone...? Love is the opposite of selfishness and selfishness is man's greatest attribute! That's why Jesus said that we need to be born again... (John 3:3). We need to be renewed in our spirit and heart by the Spirit of God so we can become good at heart and not remain in darkness! Dear friend, there are still people out there - men included - who know how to love and who are faithful, because they know Christ... They are very rare, but they do exist. But ultimately, our soul longs for the love of our Creator, God. And He alone can fulfill our hearts in such a deep and meaningful manner that we become peaceful and secure. God bless you, do not lose hope! And if you don't know Jesus personally yet, I hope you will get to know Him... He loves you with His whole heart and He is worthy of your attention. Blessings~

No matter what experts like Sadia says you are not to blame for your spouses cheating. You are not responsible for it. Do not blame yourself for having doubts, not believing the lies, looking for proof. All those actions are your conscious trying to protect you. People like Sadia are fake experts that don’t have any experience with cheating and hurt it causes.

[@jennifersmykala1108]

Self-control is not difficult and lying and cheating is and remains an absolute no-go and that's it, you can separate and that's it. You don't have to stay together forever, you can But lying and cheating are absolutely the lowest level and show that this person has no love for you and never will.

[@SherwoodTravels]

Isn’t it interesting that so many in the comment sections are arguing that male psychology is wrong? The guest is offering an explanation of male psychology, not the justification of it. Women can use this knowledge to their advantage. Yet almost all comments choose to argue why male psychology is wrong, completely missing the point that what’s offered here is insight about male psychology, not whether it’s right or wrong.

[@LisaBilyeu]

This is exactly spot on and why I brought her in the show. Thanks for seeing that. I’m a true believer that knowledge is power! Not that I agree with it!

[@JmGmail]

You think all men think this way? Then why do t they all cheat? This is NOT male psychology. Even women who cheat think this way. This is cheaters way of thinking. Sadia seems to be saying that it cannot change women whose spouses cheated are to be blamed for not meeting some need or needs to accept this behavior because that is how men are. That seems off base. It is like saying a boy who beats his sister is to be accepted as ok because he is a boy. I don’t think this is a man/woman issue. If a shrink cannot understand the confusion and trauma their blaming the wronged spouse or sanctioning wrong actions by cheater can cause to already traumatized spouse they are not good shrinks. Hence the negative comments. I really hope you get this Lisa. My trauma is 8 years behind me but it is horrible that you are giving this trope legitimacy.

[@JmGmail]

Male psychology or cheaters psychology? Women who cheat have same faulty thinking. There is no need to legitimize that thought process as ‘men will be men’.

[@Kaiser68]

So funny all these feminists in the comments saying that women shouldn't have to pay any attention to their man when they have had a baby. These are the women who treat their man like crap after he pays for them to take time off work and run around with their rugrats all day. We've all got tough jobs, but when a man makes it possible for you to be a mother, why is it so hard to be kind to him for 5 minutes a day? The entitlement on modern women literally shocks me.

[@PaulaOx]

You fail to realise most modern men cannot afford to have a housewive in this economy. So yes they shouldn't complain about their wives giving all of their attention to their 'rugrats'... maybe if they decided to help out around around home , their wives won't be so exhausted

The last 2 boyfriends.. one was in my 20sand early 30s , got in a fight with me because I tried to check his phone and he aggressively grabbed it from me and punched me in my face and knocked my tooth out. Fast forward 15 years and the relationship in my 40s my ex got off work came to my house when I was still sleeping, this is when he worked overnight came into my bedroom and grabbed my phone. When I grabbed it out of his hand, he broke my hand. I was in a cast for three months. Cell phones have been a huge source of trauma in my previous relationships. I never wanna go through that again and I never want to have that sick feeling that I need to check his phone.

People with value and honesty will never cheat. They will stop the relationship before starting a new one. Cheating is not a sport, there are other way to cope when things are not exactly the way you wish.

[@dg5175]

Within the first few minutes, she explained that a man can love a woman and still cheat because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings and wants to appease his needs that has nothing to do with love. I can see how men can be like that. The only problem with this is that it involves hurting someone else's feelings. Even if he cheats only based on physical needs, not emotional, it doesn't mean it still doesn't affect the woman. It's the thought of your man with another person enjoying himself, and it makes us feel disgusted and sad. The other issue is that men are naturally territorial over their women. Men always say they want a woman who's loyal. This is where it's hypocritical because it's unfair to want a woman who's loyal to them, but then they feel it's okay to fulfill their carnal needs because the truth is women enjoy sex just as much as men do, but we usually have stronger self-control. Society has engrained in us that in order to be considered a good woman, we must be loyal to our men and a good woman overall. Men get a pass on that because over time, society has gotten used to the idea that "men just cheat." It's not a surprising thing anymore, and it's almost becoming socially acceptable, but there's still a stigma around women cheating.

[@matinaki1644]

I can accept a single man having orgies but a married man who vowed to honor a woman and love her yet cheats on her "just" for carnal pleasure is deluded. But even then, there are men who go to prostitutes. They are more honest as for enjoying just with their body than the ones having entire affairs, flirting and then getting naked with a woman. Then it is not just a body issue. It is also something mental, giving away his attention to other women (he wouldn't do that with a prostitute).

[@michaelkuhn3488]

For every man that cheats, three women are also cheating, If I read most of the comments here men are always at fault. But its usually the man that has to be the mind reader in the bedroom, because he can never truly make her satisfied in bed. In some respects we are simple creatures, if you want sex a certain way just tell us, you will find that we are more than happy to comply, and both our lives will be enriched. By being true to ourselves we can enrich any relationship.

[@matinaki1644]

@@michaelkuhn3488 women are more than men in terms of numbers so it is logical that female cheaters are more than male cheaters. Also, women tend to view marriage/relationships in the same way as men since they got into working so they are like "I bring food, I work and return home every night so no matter if I cheat I am a good wife". Isn't that how men think?

Lisa, I haven't listened to this yet. But I am super stoked you and Tom got to interview her. I'm finishing up Tom's, and then I'll come over to this show. I know without a doubt it'll be a great episode. I love Sadia's teachings.

[@stratogustav]

It sucks that Lisa cut her so soon, the conversation was at a very hot point, giving good tips on how it is important to see the other side and how key is to evaluate how we are reciprocating those needs, which are very different for both genres. I was hoping this was a 3-hour long segment. I'm so impressed how Sadia Khan has understood male psychology so well considering she is a woman, and a very feminine one. When she said that men that don't cheat, they don't do it because they care about the well-being of her partner, she nailed it. Men actually don't see anything wrong with it, they want to do it, they feel the call, they know it would make them feel good, they know they will enjoy it, it is easy for them to just do it, they know it will likely be very rewarding, and it would boost their satisfaction easily, but they still don't do it, not because they think is morally wrong, that wouldn't stop them, they don't do it because they worry how it is going to affect her partner and they don't want to cause her any pain. All the other things she said about men and women are incredibly accurate too, she definitely knows what she is talking about. This is what I would call a legit expert on the subject.

My boyfriend of 4yrs. went to work one day last month and just never came home. He was even intimate with me the morning that he left to go to work and we discussed what I was making for dinner. There was no fight, there was no discussion he just vanished. After texting and calling him 1 million times, he gaslit me . He was super angry and aggressive. Pretending that the reason why he left me is because he found out that I was cheating on him. Which he and I both know is a huge lie. I’ve never cheated on him, and he knows that I never would. We were best friends. I am so devastated and blindsided by what happened. And how quickly he turned on me and pretended it was my fault. I don’t know how to get through this pain. I found out he quit his job and move to another state. He left me in this apartment that we just signed a lease for, and I cannot afford the rent on my own.

[@bluecollarlit]

Wow, that's crazy. A person who is that unstable, you don't need them in your life, imo. Could he have been involved with something illegal and now he's on the run? It's a mystery, I'm kind of fascinated. Take good care of you, and please accept my best wishes for fulfillment and good fortune.

He left because he was too immature to have the conversation.. whatever that might be for him. I can only guess. I’m 10 yrs older and satisfied with finding a partner for the rest of my life. I thought he was the one. Maybe he wants to date other women now? Also I know he was always complaining about how much he had to work just to make ends meet. Our rent doubled since we’ve been together. We just had to sign a new lease and the new company came over and raise the rent. Another $200. Plus the groceries have gone up… Maybe he just wanted to live a bachelor lifestyle again. I have no clue. I know that he moved to a state that the cost of living is cheaper and he’s getting paid more now and he has roommates so he’s saving a lot of money. he is still gaslighting me as to why he left. He’s pretending that I cheated on him which he and I both know it’s not true. I’m a very faithful and loyal person. He’s just trying to find an excuse because he doesn’t want to be honest, I guess. Maybe he cheated on me… I still will never know I do know that he was addicted to porn. I found that all over his phone. All of it is like a kick in the stomach to me.@@bluecollarlit

[@lucib8497]

I couldn’t make it through this entire interview. I made it just over 4 minutes. I will tell you that what she said is very dangerous and particularly for someone with a trauma history. We must also remember that as mothers we must learn to self care which she addresses in the grooming aspect. Being kind and attentive to our partner is also essential. However, when really tired, stressed, depressed or experiencing various hormones or even medication side effects we can’t expect our partner to be sexually available. You’re basically inviting disassociation and traumatization. Being kind, patient, understanding , and respecting your partner enough to wait for them to be ready for sex is essential to a healthy relationship. It’s true for men and women alike. Maybe she talks about this, but an open discussion of how to increase their intimacy outside of the bedroom could be helpful. Empathy, support, and Friendship can go a long way.
