Divorce Expert: The Early Signs of Infidelity - James Sexton (Video)

Most people think marriage is about love. But for this guest, he knows better — it’s about survival.
In this 26 November 2025 published video, host Codie Sanchez talks with James Sexton, who after handling 2,000+ divorces over 25 years, a legendary divorce attorney who has seen it all: the affairs that start with attention instead of sex, the gestures that can end marriages, and the brutal truth that 53 percent of marriages end in divorce. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, James breaks down why half of all marriages fail and what the other half is doing right.
From the real reason people cheat (hint: it’s not what you think) to why Instagram is an infidelity-generating machine, James reveals the patterns that predict divorce with scary accuracy. We dive into the economics of relationships, why prenups are actually love letters, and how a dog can teach you more about marriage than any therapist. He shares the craziest prenup he’s ever seen (10 pounds = $10,000 less in alimony), why “happy wife, happy life” is terrible advice, and the one question that softens even the most bitter couples.
But this isn’t just about what goes wrong — it’s about what goes right. James explains why second marriages have better odds, how to fight fairly without weaponizing intimacy, and why the male equivalent of flowers might be exactly what you think it is. If you’ve ever wondered why some couples make it while others crash and burn, or if you want to save your relationship before it ends up in a lawyer’s office, this episode will change how you think about love, commitment, and the bravest thing any human can do.
