TRIGGERnometry · How Not To Ruin Your Marriage - World's Leading Divorce Expert - James Sexton · 22 Feb 2026 podcast

OK, I mean, yes, prenups that you drafted yourself and didn't include statute, but a prenuptial agreement drafted by an experienced attorney who understands the law and has experience with what these kinds of agreements need to have in order to be binding and defensible is a binding contract.

I mean, infidelity would be number one, infidelity.

But I often say I think infidelity is the symptom as opposed to the underlying illness.

I think that people who are still deeply connected to each other very often don't have the proclivity towards cheating on each other.

But of course, infidelity is present in a good probably 75, 80% of the cases that we encounter as divorce lawyers.

And again, whether that is a function of the fact that these people have disconnected so much and there's a human need to find connection with another person, that's entirely possible.

I'm generally referring to some intimate contact.

So physical contact with some intimacy, whether that's actual sex or whether that's some other physical intimacy between two people.

I do think there is such a thing as emotional affairs, and I do think that is valid.

You know, if you really tried to drill this question down with an unpleasant thought experiment and you thought, well, which would you rather have?

That your partner, you know, on a random night went out with friends, has a couple of drinks and ends up making out with someone.

Versus...

them having an ongoing texting relationship and sending suggestive messages to someone over the course of six months.

Now, one of those feels to me much more intimate than the other.

So I don't, I mean, I would choose to have neither if possible.

But I think we can agree that there is something about, you know, the intimacy of a relationship

It doesn't just have to be manifest in the physical.

It's often manifest in the things we share with each other, the vulnerabilities we share with each other, the ongoing connections.

Who is it we want to share our experiences with?
