Remote work has changed daily routines and blurred relationship boundaries, leading to concerns about microcheating. Microcheating involves discreet behaviors that suggest emotional or physical interest outside a committed relationship, such as frequent texting with coworkers or engaging with former partners online. The shift to remote work facilitates these interactions, making them easier to initiate and harder to detect. Experts note that the secrecy and intention behind these behaviors can damage relationships, as they divert attention from partners who may be unaware of the digital flirtations taking place.
"Microcheating involves seemingly small actions that indicate a person is emotionally or physically focused on someone outside their relationship."
"Remote work can make digital microcheating feel almost risk-free due to increased digital relationships, providing more opportunity and space for secretive interactions."
