Summary
Why He Can’t Stop: The Truth About Porn Addiction, Cheating & Compulsive Behavior in Relationships You keep asking the same question:Why does he keep doing this—even when he knows it hurts me? In this eye-opening episode, Lora sits down with former Buddhist monk and addiction expert Jeremy Lipkowitz to unpack the real reasons behind compulsive behaviors like porn use, cheating, and addiction. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level answers. Together, they explore how addictive behaviors form, why they aren’t about you, and what true recovery actually requires. If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or stuck trying to understand your partner’s behavior—this episode will bring clarity, validation, and a new way forward. Top 3 Takeaways It’s not about you—it’s a coping mechanism.Most addictive behaviors begin early and are rooted in emotional regulation, not love, attraction, or relationship satisfaction.

You can’t shame someone into change—but you can create awareness.True transformation happens through self-awareness, accountability, and building a life that no longer needs escape.
