On "The Dalina Show," in the second part of the episode on infidelity, the focus was on women who have cheated, another side of the topic of infidelity that is not talked about so often. This time, two women were open about their stories of infidelity, explaining the cases in detail.
The first story is that of "Clara", who fell into depression after the untimely death of her mother. During this difficult period, she fell in love with a man while she was married. As a result, she divorced him to live with the person she fell in love with, with whom she continues her relationship to this day.
"One day, while I was on social media, his profile came up in my suggestions. I've never been the type to 'follow' myself, but I don't know why I clicked on it, it seemed like a familiar face. Then I got a message saying 'do we know each other?' and I said yes. It turned out that this was indeed a person I knew in Tirana and that we had been sitting at the same tables since we were 15-16 years old.
"When I saw him, it was 'wow', it was an instant connection. While talking, he said that he had also been married, had children, and didn't get along with his wife. We went out after 3 months of talking on Instagram," she said.
She also recounted the moment when her partner discovered the betrayal.
"My husband discovered some messages and the situation got to the point where he even got involved in this mess. I remember crying, but not for my family, but for the person I knew. I told him that this happened to my husband and we didn't speak for a few months. We reconnected when the storms calmed down, then something happened at his house and our relationship for 5 years has been on & off (sometimes yes, sometimes no).
After 5 years, I broke up with my husband, but today we are still very good friends. We separated physically and then legally, as did my current partner. My daughter was 12 years old when I separated after 15 years of marriage, the last 5 of which, in love with the partner I have today. Today I live with him and my daughter."
The second story, on the topic of women who cheat on "The Dalina Show", is that of Antea, who cheated and was betrayed in her marriage, yet she did not separate from her husband, and the marriage has even taken a turn for the better today.

"I can call my marriage healthier today.
After 5 years of marriage, I realized that those beautiful years were gone, then the communication dried up. I met someone and this person had some characteristics that my husband at the time lacked. The problems belonged to both of us, but we didn't tell each other. So, I filled in what I was missing in this someone else that I just met.
It lasted about 2-3 months and I can almost call it a parallel relationship, although it wasn't that intense, we met about 1 or 2 times a week. It's not that I was falling in love with this guy. It's not that it was a physical relationship, but I liked the nice words I received and I felt his attention in that one-hour period we spent.
After the 'honeymoon' with this person was over, things faded after the first few weeks and that's when I realized that every relationship is ultimately the same. So, you'll reach this same conclusion, where things become monotonous, and this guy will get bored and you'll look for someone else to fulfill these things you're looking for.
After clarifying some questions I had in my head, I returned to my husband. I did not communicate to him what had happened, despite the fact that I had done a lot of work on myself.
After some time, I met someone in a club with whom I had a past, not exactly a relationship, but an acquaintance. We exchanged a kiss in the club, we talked for 2-3 days and then things cooled down. I realized that it was still something temporary. I didn't talk about it with my husband or any psychologist.
This dark period where I was looking for something in others passed. Until one day I saw on my husband's cell phone that he was talking to a foreign girl. That's when I understood what that bad feeling is when you're betrayed. I didn't make a drama because I hadn't been fair either, but I asked my husband for an explanation. He told me it was just a conversation, he had never met her, the girl had flirted with him after conversations about work. He said he didn't have feelings for her.
I understood and we talked for the first time about why we weren't communicating with each other. There I reflected on my shortcomings and told him that I wanted him to promise me that we would communicate more. There is also a problem in our couple due to the fact that we have known each other since we were little and we haven't had much experience with each other, almost 0.
I liked that even as a married woman, I got attention from others. I met someone while on vacation with my friends and started texting a guy who started teasing me. He started complimenting me and I started to hold myself back more. My intimate life with my husband changed for the worse, of course.
"It's not that I stopped loving my partner. It was only when I came home after the betrayal that I felt a little bad. I realized that I didn't love myself and was looking for moments that I hadn't experienced before. My partner had simply become like a brother to me, he had become ordinary."
