Trauma Bonds, Dating a Serial Cheater, & Drawing Boundaries with In-Laws - EL008

Welcome to "Engineering Love," a relationship podcast where Kim helps you build better connections by troubleshooting communication and conflict resolution. This episode highlights these questions: Q1: My partner abused me for 8 years and says he has changed. How do I know the change is real? Q2: My boyfriend and I go in cycles where he cheats, acts devastated when caught, we get back together, and then he does it again. Q3: My father-in-law treated me horribly during my postpartum, and now I want to draw boundaries with him before our next child. How do I get my husband on board with this? Kim's next virtual workshop: Healing Betrayals & Infidelity.
