It was once the case that a kiss or sexual contact with someone that wasn’t your partner constituted cheating.

Now, a slew of other offences can land you in the dog house.

The activities that a man can commit that count as micro-cheating include giving a waitress a large tip because she is attractive, or asking a female friend for advice in something he could look up on the internet.

Sending a woman a link to an article about sex is also a form of micro-cheating, as is going out of his way to tell a woman he met that she seems to be “doing well”.

Texting “good morning” to someone just to say good morning is also classed as micro-cheating.

The list was written by writer Melanie Berliet - and has received a lot of attention online.

While these misdeamenors might seem silly and innocuous, there are things on the list that would make any sane woman feel a twinge of doubt.

These include your man saving another woman in his phone under a code name you don’t recognise, reaching out to his ex on a special day like their anniversary, or asking his girlfriend to wear the same clothes as another woman he knows.

Unsurprisingly your boyfriend is far more likely to be sleeping around behind your back than your girlfriend.

A study by YouGov found that one in five of us is cheating on a partner right now.

And this seems to be a habit more common in the younger generation. Twenty-one per cent of 18 to 29-year-olds have cheated on their partners, while 17 per cent of 30 to 44-year-olds have cheated.

What do you make of this?

Micro cheating certainly is a concept which is going to gain relevance with the advent of technology. Do you think the article goes far enough? Or are there more acts that come to mind which constitute cheating.

Really sad how high the rate of cheating is currently

Micro cheating is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

WTF?

[Sorshen]

Micro-cheating? Melanie Berliet seems retarded.
No wonder Tennisace posted this drivel.

[I Push Buttons]

I think if anyone genuinely believes that "micro-cheating" stuff, they deserve a swift kick to the face.

???

If you truly love and care about your wife/husband you wouldn't be doing something like that to another person. Especially behind their back.

Is saying good morning to your Mom micro-incest?

[xChurch]

Doing something behind your partners back involving someone you're attracted to is universally bad, dunno if I'd really consider it a type of cheating though.

You just won the internet. thanks for the good laugh.

Is saying good morning to your Mom micro-incest?

Or does saying good morning to ones kids make the parent a pedophile?

[Wyrt]

So, basically, you're not allowed to have friends or contact with anyone or it's cheating?

It obviously means non family members. Don't deflect.

[Sorshen]

Oh yes, now I remember that article, sh0e summed it up nicely:

"june ‏@shoe0nhead
bitter jaded 35 year old woman projects her paranoia about her shitty relationships into one article "

It obviously means non family members. Don't deflect.

I'm noticing a pattern with you.
What is there to deflect about your micro-shitposting?

[Wyrt]

It obviously means non family members. Don't deflect.

What if it's a male friend? Is that micro gay cheating?

[the game]

So only men can do this then? Amazing.

Are you a part of ISIS? Seriously, how many wives have you stoned for being filthy whores and speaking without TennisJihad's permisson? Do you have your wife phone you for permission before she starts a conversation?

What if I text good morning to my best friend who woke up hungover? Am I a micro-closeted-micro-gay? Is it still cheating?

What? Bro contribute to thread and give your opinion on the article. Don't psychoanalyse me.

Yes! Also each morning a man goes to work, and says good morning to his boss, he becomes: 1. micro-cheater, and 2. micro-gay if the boss is man, or micro-rapist if the boss is a woman.

And vice versa!
