New program on DLVRADIO, presented and directed by Lucía Etxebarria.
We talk about infidelity when two people have committed to each other to maintain a mutually exclusive relationship. A relationship that rules out the possibility of having sex outside of that couple. We talk about infidelity when there is a commitment and someone skips that commitment and lies. In that case, the worst thing is not the sexual act itself, but the lie to the person with whom you have a deep bond.
Not all infidelities are the same, nor do they stem from the same reasons, nor do they have the same repercussions. However, they all have something in common: they damage the bond. The trust between both members is broken.
Pero… ¿Por qué alguien se compromete a hacer una cosa y luego hace la contraria? En ocasiones, porque es un narcisista. En otras ocasiones porque tiene una personalidad evasiva. En otras porque alberga lo que llamamos «el complejo de la virgen y la puta». En cualquier caso, se trata siempre de personas que tienen una empatía no excesivamente alta, porque anteponen sus propias necesidades a el daño que pueden hacer a su pareja.
All this and much more... In psychology for dummies.
