Ira Glass on Savage Love

“The fact is, marriage is the rules that you agree on. So she would need to convince him that this could be okay. I think the one thing she shouldn’t do is cheat on him. I actually think that, my mom said that it’s, the infidelity actually isn’t the sex, the infidelity is you’re confiding in somebody else besides your partner. Somebody else knows you better. Like, you trust somebody else more with the truth about you than you trust the person who you’re supposed to be closest to. That’s the real thing that actually rips people apart.”
 — Ira Glass was on yesterday’s Savage Love podcast to weigh in on the Bob & Eli conundrum give callers sex and relationship advice, some of which he gleaned from his mother, Dr. Shirley Glass, who was an infidelity researcher. They also talk about farts.
