There are so many different types of cheating and Passant was not shy to admit she was cheated on
So, why do westerners ‘air out their dirty laundry’ while Arabs keep infidelity under wraps? Passant perfectly explains why saying that in the Arab world, people prefer to look “perfect” regardless of what’s going on. However, Arab celebs these days are no longer shy about talking about cheating in their relationships.
The Egyptian public figure named a few types of cheating from sexual to the loss of trust, there are so many! Being cheated on is nothing to be ashamed of because we’re all humans, Passant said.
Being cheated on, while hurts, can absolutely transform a person or rather, help them grow.

Passant gets right into it with a hot debate: she thinks someone who physically cheats can be forgiven
She said that at the end of the day, it could be the fault of both parties in the relationship. If a woman is not meeting her partner’s needs or giving too much love that her partner feels smothered and takes her love for granted, then the blame will fall on both.
Like she said earlier in the episode, there are many types of cheating and physical cheating can just be due to temptation. Breaking someone’s trust can never be forgiven because it’s hard to repair.

Religion plays a role: divorce was forbidden and taboo but it’s not anymore!
The number of divorces has skyrocketed compared to the times of our grandparents and great grandparents and why is that? Passant said it’s because back in the day, divorce was so taboo but right now, divorcing and re-marrying is easy.
This also relates to monogamy, in a way, Passant and the co-hosts said. People are not finding long-term relationships easy to maintain anymore.
