Ep 140: This App Is Making Cheating Easier, How Affairs and Situationships Become the Ultimate Self-Betrayal

Send us Fan Mail

What happens when cheating is no longer limited to secret messages and accidental encounters, but supported by an entire dating platform?

And what does it say about modern relationships when secrecy is marketed as freedom?

In this solo episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, I examine the growing attention around Gleeden, an extramarital dating platform created for married people seeking discreet encounters.

After the platform reported surpassing four million users in India, an uncomfortable question emerged: Are apps like this simply responding to demand, or are they making deception easier to organize and normalize?

This conversation goes beyond one dating app. It examines how affairs, hidden relationships, and situationships can slowly disconnect people from their values, their voices, and the person they believe themselves to be.

We talk about:

• The difference between privacy and secrecy
• Why legal does not always mean ethical
• Consensual non-monogamy versus a hidden second life
• How deception removes a partner’s ability to make an informed choice
• Why situationships can train people to accept emotional crumbs
• The fear of asking, “What are we?”
• How cheating can become self-betrayal before it becomes partner betrayal
• Why loneliness and unmet needs may explain an affair but cannot excuse deception
• The emotional, physical, and family consequences of infidelity
• Why an affair cannot repair a relationship that depends on a lie

An open relationship involves honesty, informed consent, and clear boundaries. Betrayal begins when one person believes they are in a committed relationship while the other secretly lives by different rules.

This episode is for anyone who has discovered a partner’s hidden life, feels trapped in an undefined situationship, or is considering an affair instead of facing a difficult conversation.

Your unmet needs deserve to be addressed. They may require an honest conversation, clearer boundaries, couples coaching, therapy, separation, or divorce. They do not give anyone permission to deceive another person.

Pain can explain a choice. It does not remove responsibility for that choice.
