Micro-Cheating

When it comes to cheating in the past, the definition has been pretty clear-cut. However, since technology is now taking over, there are more and more partners who find themselves micro-cheating. Micro-cheating is when you participate in several small acts that would be considered deceitful, without actually committing one big act of cheating. The number one way to determine if you’re a culprit of this, is to ask if you’ve been more secretive about your actions than usual.

Key Takeaways:

You should ask yourself if you would be okay with your partner seeing the messages that you have been sending the other person.
It is important if you have engaged in these behaviors to come clean to your partner.
Some examples of micro-cheating are connecting with ex partners on social media or lying about your current commitment status.
