Why Do Men Cheat? Can They Change? What Makes Them Change?
Manage episode 489800902 series 3551815
Why do men cheat—even when they love you?
This episode will change the way you look at infidelity, ego, and emotional validation in relationships.
In this powerful conversation, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix break down the root causes of cheating—going beyond the surface excuses to explore male identity, insecurity, emotional immaturity, and the generational pressure to seek validation through women.
From men who cheat out of deep insecurity… to men who step out even while loving their partner… this episode uncovers the internal battles that so many women are blamed for—but didn’t create.
🎙️ Whether you're dating, married, or healing after betrayal—this is required listening.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why cheating is rarely about the other woman
• The difference between ego-driven and emotionally driven infidelity
• Why a man can love you, but not honor you
• The two types of cheaters—and which one you must walk away from
• How women internalize the betrayal and lose themselves in the process
• What “healing” looks like when you realize it wasn’t your fault
