Diving into my guilty pleasure that is the fabulously scandalous articles on Cosmopolitan, I learned a new term. The article was titled "11 Signs He is Micro-Cheating". Curious what it meant I researched it.

Urban Dictionary states that it is when someone cheats just a little bit. The example they gave was, "It was just a kiss..."

Upon further research I found BOLDE, it is all about perception and what the individual person sees as going just a little too far. For example, a random person sends you a message on Facebook saying your cute or sends you a picture and you respond with a little winky face saying I am taken, but you're cute. It doesn't seem like such a big deal, but it is about the perception.

Bodle explains several signs to look out for:

  • Making suggestive comments to other people
  • Offhandedly jokes that you shouldn't trust them
  • Still close with all of his exes
  • Keeps your relationship secret

In my opinion, this is a silly concept. Cheating is cheating. Whether you are sending flirty text messages or having a hot and steamy shin-dig on the side it is all the same.

The Merriam Webster Dictionary states that the definition of CHEAT is as follows:

transitive verb

1:  to deprive of something valuable by the use of deceit or fraud cheated the elderly couple out of their property

2:  to influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice a young man who cheated young women into marrying him when he was already married

3:  to elude or thwart by or as if by outwitting cheat death

intransitive verb

a :  to practice fraud or trickery denied the accusation that he cheatedb :  to violate rules dishonestly cheat at cards cheating on a test

b:  to be sexually unfaithful —usually used with on was cheating on his wife

c:  to position oneself defensively near a particular area in anticipation of a play in that area the shortstop was cheating toward second base

 Sometimes the signs are obvious, but it doesn't matter if you are sneaking behind the back of your partner or very upfront cheating is cheating.
