Microcheating is a term gaining traction, describing small, often hidden actions suggesting emotional infidelity in relationships. Dating expert Melanie Schilling defines it as behaviors that indicate an emotional or physical focus on another person. This phenomenon has gained attention, especially post-2020, as remote work allows for more discreet actions. The concept also raises discussions about communication and boundaries within relationships. Experts suggest that actions are only microcheating if they are kept secret from partners, highlighting the subjective nature of these behaviors across different couples.
"...microcheating can happen even easier because it's real low risk," therapist William Schroeder told the AP.
"It's cheating if your partner doesn't like it, or doesn't know about it, or wouldn't like it if they knew about it," said psychologist Abby Medcalf.
