There’s a lot of advice out there about how to recover from infidelity. Not all of it is good. In this episode (the first of a two-part series), Tim Tedder explores some of the worst pieces of “bad advice” that couples often hear after an affair. From the pressure to instantly leave or immediately forgive, to the temptation to keep secrets or “stay friends” with an affair partner, these myths can quietly sabotage genuine healing.
Through insight and storytelling, Tim explains why quick fixes and black-and-white solutions don’t work. Real recovery takes honesty, courage, and self-awareness, not one-size-fits-all answers. Along the way, short audio sketches bring these ideas to life, revealing how common these faulty beliefs really are and how couples can move beyond them toward trust, growth, and connection.
