20: Viral Infidelity & the Coldplay “Kiss Cam” Scandal—Why Betrayal Hurts So Deeply
When a viral Coldplay concert “Kiss Cam” exposed two married executives in a shocking affair, the world turned it into a meme—but for the betrayed spouses and families, it was anything but funny.
In this episode, we pause our personal story to unpack why infidelity is so devastating—through the lens of science, faith, and lived experience. You’ll discover:
- The different types of affairs (emotional affair, one-night stand, sexual addiction, micro-cheating, and more)
- Why betrayal trauma shatters us at the deepest level of attachment and trust
- Insights from The Betrayal Bind by Michelle Mays on the science of bonding, attachment, and heartbreak
- The cultural tendency to treat infidelity casually, and the real emotional and spiritual cost for those involved
Whether you’re healing from infidelity, supporting someone after betrayal, or simply want to understand why cheating hurts so much, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.
