Esther Perel with Chris Cuomo: The State of Affairs — Rethinking Infidelity

39:08 "Divorce used to be the stigma but now it's choosing to stay when you can leave." Well said!

"When you pick a person, you pick a story." So True! Love this woman xxx

Yeap im currently sucked into the esther perel black hole and im loving it! Learning heaaaaps from her

What she said.... at the end... about best way to speak the ending of a relationship.... made me weep for the truth and honesty and sacredness in the tone and the words. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Wow!!! She nailed it, broke it down into so many pieces, until there's nothing left! Everything makes so much sense!!

This is the most amazing and insightful, thought provoking talk I have heard regarding couples and relationships. It's enlightening. Thank you both for it.

Esther is such a beautiful speaker , so passionate, so articulate, and I love her accent too. Her book is great. I am enjoying reading it. Thank you Esther <3

This is a fantastic presentation! She is so deep and sees such a wide spectrum of views that are woven together so well.

Mrs Esther Perel, Thank you for lending your amazing skills to the world. I have learned so much from you.

Esther Perel is an empathetic, observant, well-educated genius. Thank you, Esther, and thank you Chris, for bringing us her wisdom. I'm sure she and her book help thousands of people. hugs to you both!

She is amazing and her eloquence and grace and conviction make most interviewers look like baffoons.

Esther, I have been watching your videos for a very long time, but this video really got to me. You are incredible! I am also Belgian so that got me watching in the first place but your words get right into my heart. I have just remarried at age 68 and have entered into this (4th) marriage with a very different set of values thanks, to an extent, to having listened to you. Thank you. You are truly amazing. PS. My first two marriages were great to start off with, my third lasted 25 years and was wonderful but my husband sadly passed away which broke me. He was fantastic. He was a Belgian Jew - I am Christian. My current marriage is so different but beautiful. I want to make this wonderful man happy. He makes me happy. These words are completely insufficient but obviously impossible to go into further in this space. 😊

Betrayal is heartbreaking but when relationships become violent it’s our moral responsibility to remove ourselves from the relationship & protect ourselves, it’s the right thing to do . It’s the only thing to do !

Perel said that "Betrayal comes in many forms. Indifference. Contempt. Neglect. Violence." Wow. Very insightful, because there are plenty of actions one spouse does to the other, that bring infidelity to the union, where no sex was involved (yet). Sad. Tragic. That's life, sometimes.

Really enjoyed this interview. Esther is such a dynamic thinker and speaker. Chris did a great job facilitating a rich conversation.

My 44 plus year marriage story would read like a long novel. Among every thing else you can imagine there was infidelity on both sides.We split up for 3 years and went back and started all over again. We left the past inthe past. These last 25 years have not been easy but so with it! It just gets better and better. I am so glad we decided to reconnect and move forward.!

I love you Esther Perel. Thank you! I think there are some relationships worth fighting for and there are some worth letting go of. In the end, the decision to leave or stay is yours.

“Ultimately, it is the quality of our relationships that will determine the quality of our lives”...So true...

I love esther, her work, her delivery, her approach, her opinions and knowledge, I am not sure if I've seen (heard, read) anything by her that I didn't like. But this interview was hands down, the BEST 60+ mins I've seen with her in an interview format conversation, well, ever. I wish it could have gone on indefinitely. Embarrassing truth, I didn't even know who Chris was before watching this. But I do now! Highly impressive interview.

Wow just wow ! What an absolute needed interview for me. My wife and I are going thru a crisis and I think I am now ready to accept and work to rebuild our marriage. I hope my wife can also feel it too.
