Welcome to The Infidelity Doctor channel. I am Dr. Talal Alsaleem, and this is the Ask Dr. Talal segment, your place to ask me any questions you have about affair recovery and affair prevention. Please remember that this is not a substitute for the individual and couples counseling you should be seeking but is merely a place for you to get some basic questions answered and get to learn about my clinical insights about affair recovery and affair prevention. Before we get to the question of the week, make sure that you like the video and subscribe to the channel so that you can get the most recent updates. The question of the week is as follows: my spouse uses alcohol as an excuse for the affair; should I call BS? Great question! The short answer is yes, but let me elaborate. First of all, there is no excuse for infidelity. I don't care what the situation is, because whether you're dealing with an individual issue or relationship issue, most of the time, with very rare exceptions, you have options. You can address those issues before you cross the lines of fidelity, even if you have the worst partner in the universe, if they're not meeting your needs, you can take them to counseling so they can talk about those issues, or you can end the relationship, so there are no excuses for infidelity. Please watch the video for a full exploration of this question.
