Have you ever felt like something was off, but you just couldn’t quite put your finger on it? Like every time you asked him a direct question, he just danced around the answer. Maybe you’re running a business. Maybe you’re making big decisions. Maybe you’re balancing a team. And all the while, the one place where you should feel safe is at home—in your marriage. You feel like a fool. You sense something is happening behind your back. But every time you bring it up, he flips it on you. It makes you feel like you’re the crazy one. So you go back to pouring everything into your business or into others because, at least there, you feel like there’s some sense of control. But in all reality, he’s been playing you all along.
That’s the reason why you’re confused. And what you don’t realize is that it’s all the same. It’s the manipulation that keeps you stuck in the relationship and that keeps you bleeding in every area of your life. It bleeds into your leadership, into your parenting, and into how you show up for every single person. Today, I’m going to break down exactly how narcissists hide their affairs, manipulate your reality, and keep you trapped in the relationship.

And I made sure that the woman I was with never questioned my reality—until she did. When she figured it out, I twisted everything so much that she looked crazy. She felt insecure and questioned herself more than ever. That’s exactly what you’re going through right now. That’s exactly what’s happening to you.
If you don’t wake up, you’re going to lose years—years of your life, your confidence, maybe even how you show up for everyone else. So, let’s talk about how narcissists hide affairs and the five layers of deception.
The first layer is the “too busy” excuse. Let me guess. He’s constantly too busy. He tells you this. He’s too busy with work, too busy with stress, too busy with friends, too tired for you, and too drained to be present. But yet, he’s got time to be on his phone non-stop. He’s got energy for last-minute business trips. And suddenly, he has a late-night work call but can’t tell you who it’s with.
