what the legacy of the affair will be.

But affairs are here to stay, and they're not going away.

And the dilemmas of love and desire,

they don't yield just simple answers of black and white and good and bad,

and victim and perpetrator.

Betrayal in a relationship comes in many forms.

There are many ways that we betray our partner:

with contempt, with neglect,

with indifference, with violence.

Sexual betrayal is only one way to hurt a partner.

In other words, the victim of an affair

is not always the victim of the marriage.

Now, you've listened to me,

and I know what you're thinking:

She has a French accent, she must be pro-affair.

(Laughter)

So, you're wrong.

I am not French.

(Laughter)

(Applause)

And I'm not pro-affair.
