Infidelity in a relationship is unequivocally a dealbreaker and constitutes a violation of trust. It signifies a betrayal and undermines the commitment that two individuals have made to one another. While cheating is typically perceived as a straightforward issue, there exists a phenomenon known as micro-cheating, which encompasses a range of subtle warning signs that may initially appear ambiguous but are nonetheless disrespectful and inappropriate towards one’s partner.

Micro-cheating does not necessarily involve a third party; rather, it manifests as behaviors indicative of disloyalty. If left unaddressed, these behaviors can gradually lead to more serious forms of infidelity.

Psychologist Raakhi Beekrum recently utilized Instagram to highlight signs of micro-cheating that individuals should be vigilant about.

Mirco-cheating signs

Rakhi explained micro-cheating violates the agreed-upon boundaries of the relationship. Here are some signs of micro-cheating:

• Lying about or hiding your relationship status.
• Inappropriate/flirting texting.
• Staying in contact with (or stalking) an ex.
• Having secret friendships or meeting someone secretly.
• Following inappropriate social media accounts.
• Liking or making inappropriate comments on pictures of someone you're attracted to.
• Speaking negatively about your partner to someone you know they won't approve of.
• Sending photos of yourself or asking for photos of someone you're attracted to.
• Saving numbers under a different name on your phone.

Key takeaways
