Dating and relationship expert Jen Kirsch joins Shane Hewitt and the Nightshift for Date Night to discuss "micro-cheating," the subtle behaviors that fall short of a full-blown affair but can still damage a relationship. Examples include excessive social media interaction with a coworker (liking photos, sending DMs), or lingering conversations. Jen says that while the definition is evolving, the core issue is secrecy and a violation of unspoken or explicit relationship boundaries. The rise of remote work has exacerbated the problem, as digital interactions offer more opportunities for these behaviors. Whether or not an action constitutes microcheating depends entirely on the couple's agreement and comfort level; it's not about right or wrong, but about individual preferences and whether the behavior undermines the primary relationship.
