Live from New York, Tonight’s Conversation rips apart one of the dirtiest lies in relationships: the idea that cheating can be done out of love. The panel dissects the excuses cheaters hide behind — calling betrayal “protection,” framing lies as “mercy,” and labeling infidelity as a mistake born of fear.
The debate turns explosive as the crew challenges whether you’d even want to know if your partner cheated, or if ignorance really is bliss. Some argue that one confession might not end a relationship, while others claim lying only digs a deeper grave.
From women walking away after repeated betrayal, to men defending “slip-ups,” and even God’s role in forgiveness, this NYC episode is raw, messy, and brutally honest. Cheating ain’t love — it’s cowardice, selfishness, and the beginning of the end.
