# Why Doesn’t My Betraying Partner Hate Himself?

In this episode of Overcoming Addiction and Betrayal, Seeking Integrity’s Clinical Director Erin Snow considers the reasons that a betraying partner may refuse to admit their shame, whether it’s worth waiting a few more days to see if a betrayer is going to start respecting boundaries, and how to respond to a betrayer’s enmeshment, lying, and childhood trauma.
