About this episode

When it comes to what counts as being unfaithful in a relationship, everyone has their own definition. Some might say that only physical contact with another person is cheating, whereas others will argue that even a mildly flirtatious conversation is unacceptable. That's where the concept of micro-cheating comes into play. Micro cheating refers to seemingly minor actions that suggest a person is emotionally or physically invested in someone outside of their relationship. Where it gets tricky is that micro cheating can take many different subtle forms, and each person’s definition is likely to vary. Depending on your intentions, it could be giving your number to someone you find attractive for example. Are there other examples? What are the telltale signs?
