Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal. But does it have to be? Relationship therapist Esther Perel examines why people cheat, and unpacks why affairs are so traumatic: because they threaten our emotional security. In infidelity, she sees something unexpected — an expression of longing and loss. A must-watch for anyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for understanding relationships.

Is infidelity nowadays more accepted than before? Should we accept it? These are the questions we addressed in this event.

The talk (19:00-19:30)
We started the event showing the TED talk from Esther Perel (in english with spanish subtitles).

The discussion (20:15-20:30)
Afterwards, we discussed about this subject among our group. All attendees could express their opinions, contributing thus to our discussion.

Networking (20:30-21:30)
As always, after the discussion we had the possibility to do networking enjoying drinks and tapas for all (included in the ticket price).
