If we haven't met before, I'm a relationship therapist, coach, and TV personality. And in this podcast, we're going behind closed doors to explore one of the most complicated, painful, and fascinating parts of modern relationships, infidelity. Because affairs are everywhere, and yet we rarely talk about them honestly. From emotional affairs and secret relationships to the devastating aftermath of betrayal, each episode brings you a real-life story told by the people who lived it.
We'll explore what happened, why it happened and what it feels like when trust, love and loyalty collide. There are no easy answers here, just real people, complicated relationships and stories that can challenge everything we think we know about affairs. So whether you've experienced infidelity yourself, been affected by someone else's, or simply want to understand what drives people to cross that line, you're in the right place. This is The Affair Podcast. And without further ado, let's meet today's guest. Joining me today is Jay. Welcome to the podcast. How are you feeling about coming on to share your story today?
I'm feeling good. I'm excited, but obviously I'm going to say exactly the same thing as everyone else did. Feeling a little bit nervous.
Well, actually, you said something that not a lot of people say, which is excited. I am, yeah. So, why excited? I
think... I was in a really good space when the podcast found me. I'm a bit of a podcaster anyway. And it just intrigued me. I've listened to every single one and I am excited. I'm excited to share a story that doesn't match everything else and to share a voice from sort of a queer point of view. And I think that's really special in today's culture. And there's a lot of, divisive narratives around gay people and their relationships. And I think it has to be people that are going to be brave and start voicing things for people to sort of learn and grow. And yes, I'm excited to share. That's basically it.
I think that's really brave. And as you say, what I'm hearing now is, yeah, to be an advocate for a demographic that perhaps faces stigma and a different viewpoint, particularly when it comes to committed relationships and then infidelity. What would you say then? So you said you're obviously representing... the queer community and just just to sort of be clear you are gay you identify as gay
yeah I identify as gay and comfortable with sort of the queer terminology not everyone is but to me that queerness is a little bit of a superpower so to reclaim that word so I use gay or queer
bloody love that
we're always going to be in a heteronormative society and that's okay to just acknowledge I think being in sort of a same-sex gay male relationship I think there is this polarizing picture of it being sexual based and I think typically when people start thinking of affairs they think of a sort of the man in that relationship going out and having an affair so then when you put two men together
