EP 2441 – Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) – The Cold War Strategy of Modern Infidelity

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-f7v62-1763a88

In this episode, I explore the chilling concept of “Mutually Assured Destruction” (MAD) and its unexpected application to the world of affairs. Drawing from my book, How to Cheat: Field Notes from an Adulteress, I examine how MAD can create a fragile balance in infidelityβ€”where the fear of mutual exposure becomes a strange form of trust.

Episode Highlights:

  • How power dynamics and shared risk shape clandestine relationships.
  • Why an imbalance of stakes can lead to manipulation and betrayal.
  • The emotional toll of living a double life and maintaining secrecy.
  • Practical tips for navigating the complexities of trust in infidelity.

Key Takeaway:
MAD might offer stability in the high-stakes world of infidelity, but it’s a foundation built on fear, not fulfillment.

Quotable Moment:
“Infidelity isn’t romanticized here; it’s a calculated gamble with high stakes and no guarantees.”

🎧 Join me as I uncover the strategies, risks, and emotional intricacies of this taboo topic.
