    Jodie explains emotional cheating as forming deep bonds outside a primary relationship, breaking core agreements. It can lead to "distance, loneliness, and shattered trust."

While challenging, relationships can emerge stronger post-affair through dedicated effort to improve communication and intimacy.

She suggests weekly or monthly sessions, initiated with curiosity and care, to strengthen bonds without blame. "It’s about strengthening your bond and supporting each other," Jodie advises.

  • I’ve had couples say that [they’re] not grateful for the infidelity, but [grateful] for what their marriage then became. They wouldn’t wish infidelity on anyone, but what came after, in many ways, saved their relationship.

  • It’s so important to address the stigma of staying with a partner. If you do decide to stay, I think it says that you’re courageous. It shows you recognise the value of your relationship, and you have hope that your relationship can be better. [It’s OK to say]: ‘I’m choosing to stay because I believe in this and I want to make it work even though it’s difficult, even though it hurts, even though your people may not understand’.
