The Belgian-born, polyglot daughter of Holocaust survivors, Perel is no stranger to trauma and its halo effects on those surrounding it. Perel has become something of a modern guru in matters of the heart-a writer, TED Talker, and producer of the podcast “ Where Should We Begin?”, which lets us be fly on the wall to real couples counseling sessions. “Almost everywhere people marry, monogamy is the official norm, and infidelity the clandestine one.” So writes relationship therapist Esther Perel in the opening of her new book, “The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity.” So why does happily ever after so often turn into a wandering eye-and what does it say about us?
