Microcheating, a term coined by psychologist Melanie Schilling, includes behaviors like liking a co-worker's social media updates or messaging them privately. It represents a growing concern in remote work settings where digital interactions flourish with less risk. While some couples may find these behaviors harmless, others consider them a form of infidelity, leading to evolving relationship norms. Experts like William Schroeder and Abby Medcalf emphasize that microcheating behaviors often occur online, suggesting that transparency is crucial in maintaining relationship boundaries.
Microcheating is any behavior in a relationship that isn’t fully transparent, like liking a co-worker's social media photo or sharing personal details.
In the current work-from-home environment, microcheating has become more common due to increased digital interactions and lower perceived risks.
