Today with CJ Grace, former BBC broadcaster and infidelity author of: The Adulterer's Wife, we discuss infidelity and how to overcome it whether we choose to stay or not.
We discuss:
• Her husband had an affair with a woman half his age.
• The 6-part plan she created to get through it.
• Being happier after the affair.
• Celibacy in marriage.
• Pelvic pain contributes to sexless marriages.
• If you had an affair in the past, how to bring it up when dating.
• How to learn to trust again.
• Being careful not to demonise the unfaithful partner and mistress/mister.
• Not staying in the anger stage and why revenge is not the way to go.
• What can happen when you revenge-cheat on your once-cheating partner.
Reference mentioned: Esther Perel’s work on infidelity.

![#065: The Cost Of Love - with Haley McGee
When being broke pushed her to the idea of doing a yard sale, Haley realised the only items of value (other than her phone and laptop) were gifts from her exes, that’s how the idea of her play and subsequent book ‘The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale’ came to be.
With the help of a mathematician, she created a formula [for the Cost of Love] that takes into account all the ways we invest or don’t, into our romantic relationships and spit out an accurate price for the material things we’re left with when the romance dies.
We go over:
• Can you put a price on love?
• Is love worth the heartbreaks and disappointments?
• The concept of sunk- cost bias (or pot committed in poker) applied to relationships.
• Why stay-at-home wives and mothers should not be free labour.
• How very traditional men understand the value a woman brings to their lives.
• You cannot control what people are going to think about you.
