đź’” What it means to have grown up with parents fighting about infidelity
Growing up with parents fighting about infidelity meant witnessing the most intimate betrayals play out as public warfare, teaching you that love and hatred can coexist in terrifying intensity.
You may have learned that your home was a place where trust could shatter overnight, where accusations and denials became the soundtrack to your childhood. You might have become an expert at reading subtle changes in your parents' behavior—sensing tension before it exploded into screaming matches about secrets, lies, and broken promises. The concept of loyalty became complicated when you watched the people who were supposed to love each other most hurt each other deepest.
You may have developed an intense radar for detecting dishonesty and betrayal, making you incredibly perceptive about relationship dynamics. But witnessing this emotional rollercoaster of passionate reconciliations followed by devastating betrayals might have taught you that love comes with screaming matches, tearful apologies, and dramatic makeups. Now peaceful relationships can feel flat or suspicious—like the calm before another storm of revelations and recriminations.
