The Walk of Shame

Affairs have always been more dangerous for women than men. Throughout history women have faced persecution, shame and sometimes even death for cheating on their husbands. But are women still judged more harshly than men for cheating? In this episode, Jo is joined by cultural critic and anthropologist, Wednesday Martin, to explore the origins of shame surrounding female sexuality. We then meet "Catie," who had to move to a new city and get a new job to escape the fallout from her affair with her husband's best friend.

Mixed Feelings

I went into this episode trying to keep an open mind and not judge but it was difficult. She had an affair with her husband best friend. I don’t understand how she could do that to someone she loved at one time. And I don’t understand how a friend can do that to another friend. It helps that she is aware that she hurt him and she seems to be contrite. I hope her husband is ok and he was able to heal from the trauma they inflicted on him.
