From cheating to infidelity in 2022, allow the doc to provide some in-depth thoughts.
Clinical psychologist, sex, intimacy & relationship coach and Accredited Advanced GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity) therapist Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey is offering valuable advice about dealing with the experience and anguish of cheating and infidelity.
“Cheating is breaking an agreement around intimacy with a partner, whether physical or emotional; for some couples, sexting is OK and for others it is cheating... the definition is entirely dependent on the agreements the partners have with each other,” she explains. “Cheating usually involves either lying directly or by omission, and they may start to withhold emotionally from their partner - discussing their feelings and the things that are important to them less and less.
“In order to avoid misunderstandings and potentially damaging rifts in the relationship, agreements need to be clear from the beginning, with clear statements of what they are agreeing to: where fidelity is being promised, where it is not and any rules around interactions with people outside the relationship. It is best to define boundaries as part of this process.”
If infidelity has already occurred, Bisbey’s top tips for negotiating and repairing a relationship include:
“Get professional help; there is a much higher chance of being able to move forward if the couple works with a professional who can help to make sure talking it through is done in a way that doesn’t cause further damage.
“Understand that repairing trust is the most difficult part of moving in from an affair and have patience with each other. Be transparent and reassure your partner if you were the one who had the affair.
“Cut all communication with the person with whom you had the affair. This is important in order to refocus on the relationship and give it a chance to heal.”

As always, check out the full-fledged details on what’s keeping the doctor busy.
The Accredited Advanced GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity) therapist, registered psychologist and sex, intimacy & relationship coach talks with On Your Gaydar host Kaylee Golding and offers helpful advice to fans in the podcast episode, “Answering Your Questions about LGBTQ+ Sex and Relationships!”
In responding to one of the show’s queries, Bisbey highlights the importance of prioritizing communication in relationships. “Getting in the habit of having conversations about what we desire, what turns me on and what I like to do, and asking somebody what they like to do and what turns them on, makes it possible for you to have a much wider range of positive experiences.”
Krazy Train with Jasmin St. Claire episode “Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey Is In!” delves into the many facets of mental health, including approaching trauma, overcoming emotional hurdles, honesty in relationships, non-monogamy and the need for young people to learn about sex in an emotionally intelligent way.
“I think what’s important is that people actually learn what they desire, and so many people haven’t a clue. They don’t even know where to start,” she says in the interview. “Sex-ed to me still remains diabolical, because they don’t teach enough, soon enough, and things that really need to be taught are the things that are not being taught.
“The more information people have, the more likely they are to say, ‘OK, this is complicated, I’m going to wait… I see it, I understand; I see what the consequences are and I’m going to slow it down rather than I’m going to speed it up’.“
Bisbey’s interviews on On Your Gaydar and Krazy Train with Jasmin St. Claire are available on Apple Podcasts and other quality podcast platforms.
