The Loneliest Part of Being the Other Woman
Ashley Madison just dropped the biggest rebrand in dating history. Their new tagline? “Where Desire Meets Discretion.” And the stat that made me stop scrolling: 57% of their new users identify as single. I unpack what’s behind the shift, why dating app fatigue is real, and what it means that a site built for affairs is now attracting people who just want privacy. Then I go deeper. The rebrand got me thinking about the thing I haven’t talked about on this show yet — the waiting. If you’ve ever been the other woman, you know exactly what I mean. The holidays alone. The phone that doesn’t ring. Turning down plans because you didn’t want to miss his call. Scrolling your own Instagram and seeing two wine glasses in every photo that you couldn’t tell anyone about. I share my experience — the limerence that made everything feel perfect, the stories I told myself to keep going, the spa day where he said “all I want to do is make her happy,” and the moment in my car where I finally said I’m done. I talk about why “just leave” is the worst advice anyone can give, what your friends are actually thinking, and what I’d say to a woman in the waiting right now. If you’ve Googled “waiting for a married man to leave” and found nothing but shame, this episode is made for you.
