Why do we cheat? Do happy people cheat? When we say "infidelity," what exactly do we mean? Is an affair always the end of a relationship? Why are these questions so difficult to answer, and why is the extremely common act of adultery so poorly understood? In The State of Affairs, psychotherapist, couples’ counselor, and best-selling author Esther Perel guides us to genuinely examine our attitudes about love, lust, commitment, self-hood, growth, partnership, and betrayal—and in doing so, to rethink our attitudes toward infidelity. Says Perel, “Love is messy; infidelity more so. But it is also a window, like no other, into the crevices of the human heart.”
