At first glance, micro-cheating is like a half-measure, like something that can’t be noticed right away.

However, with its appearance, you should definitely not expect anything good in the future from your partner's behavior. It is safe to say that this phenomenon does not add stability to the relationship.

Experts have explained how to identify micro-cheating and why it is dangerous for healthy relationships.

It is said that this term was first used by experts in an article for Psychology Today magazine.

Micro-cheating is an event that violates the trust that existed in a relationship. In this case, there may not be any intimate relationships on the side.

Signs of micro-cheating

Spouses may leave their wedding ring at home before leaving home.

They may have some secret correspondence with their exes or go for a walk alone.

This could be flirting, discussing your relationship with your partner with third parties, trying to impress others but not your partner.

But the main threat is friendship with “former” people.

What to do

If your partner's behavior raises suspicions, it would be wrong to immediately accuse him of micro-cheating or label him as a traitor.

We need to start with a dialogue about concerns, and it should proceed in an exclusively peaceful manner.

Remember that partners or spouses can only get to the truth together.
