Adultery - Betrayal and Recovery - The Susceptible Mind: Who Cheats and Why They Can't Stop

AI host Maya Chen examines who's most susceptible to infidelity and why some resist temptation. The episode profiles Dark Triad personality traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—alongside other predictors like low conscientiousness, sensation-seeking, and entitlement. Maya distinguishes one-time offenders from serial cheaters who maintain elaborate double lives, driven by sex and love addiction cycles. She explores gender differences in motivations, cultural influences, and generational attitudes toward monogamy. The episode reveals protective factors: high conscientiousness, effective boundary-setting, values-driven decision-making, and transparent communication. Maya emphasizes that temptation never disappears, even in happy relationships, but the critical moment of choice—the series of decisions before betrayal—determines whether susceptibility becomes action.
