EP236: Nikki Corbett - A Woman's Perspective
"If you don't have that level of intimacy, I'm sorry, you're friends."
Infidelity usually doesn't start in the bedroom. It starts in the silence. When couples stop talking honestly, stop checking in, stop being curious about each other, something shifts. Intimacy cools. Resentment builds. And before anyone realizes it, the relationship feels more like a partnership of logistics than a connection between lovers.
Nikki Corbett makes the case that cheating is rarely just about sex. It's about feeling unseen. Unheard. Unwanted. Men often experience that loss through the absence of sex. Women often experience it through emotional distance. But underneath it all, both want the same thing: closeness. Nikki also pushes back on the shame surrounding divorce and past relationships, questioning why growth is treated like guilt—especially for women.
Nikki is the host of The Scarlet Edit, where she dives into infidelity, divorce, and complex relationship dynamics. After her own divorce and a five-year relationship with a married man, she decided to speak openly about the lessons most people keep private.
