Is your partner ‘micro-cheating?’ My interview with LADbible reveals the difference between flirting and micro-cheating (and what you can do to stop it).
What’s the difference between flirting and micro-cheating?
Depending on who you ask flirting is micro-cheating, so there’s not a great deal of distance between them.
However, micro-cheating is a wider-ranging thing that covers more bases in possible emotional infidelity.
Relationship expert, Susan Winter, told The Independent that micro-cheating was “certainly testing the borders of emotional cheating,” and flirting “is the act of fanning a spark that can easily spread to a flame.”
People might like to have the occasional flirt every now and then, but the intention behind a person’s actions is everything.
It also matters what boundaries exist in a relationship, as some couples aren’t going to mind a few meaningless words spoken to someone else while others don’t want to see their beloved flirting with anyone else.
