Now that we can engage with thousands of attractive strangers, serial killers, and THOTS on social media, relationships are even more susceptible to infidelity. With a swipe of a finger, your boo-thang can get up close and personal with someone else. Microcheating is that easy! That's why today I'm sharing tell-tale signs that he is microcheating.
6 Tell-Tale Signs That He's Microcheating
So, what is microcheating? Essentially, it’s a pattern of behavior that may seem minute in the grand scheme of relationship infidelity but can lead to your significant other cheating. That’s because your partner is placing their energy, emotions, and attention toward someone else. See: not you.
Microcheating is also not easy to catch. Unlike finding text messages, lipstick on his collar, or catching them locked in a kiss when you come home from work (how cliché), catching a microcheater takes some sleuthing. So, without further adieu, here are 6 tell-tale signs that he is microcheating.
He smiles a lot more than usual when texting or speaking with someone on the phone.
The person he's communicating with is getting him giddy. He’s all in their feelings and it’s written all over his face.
He is always on social media.
Dude may be microcheating if he’s obsessed with checking his social media feed. Especially if he’s always checking his DMs. Especially if he’s engaging with specific profiles. Especially if he uses heart emojis. And eggplants.
He engages with other women on social media but never with your social media posts.
A “friend” posts Jodeci’s “Cry for You” video and your partner likes the post, comments, and engages said “friend” in a reminiscing sesh about where they were the first time they heard the song. Yet you posted that same video the day before and…crickets. And this happens all of the time. Freaking microcheater!
He downplays the seriousness of your relationship.
If your boo-thang still acts like you’re “just dating” when you’ve been in a relationship for years, and all of the above is happening, well…you know.
He doesn’t share private thoughts with you and does with someone else.
You should be the person your partner shares everything with, including great news, deep feelings, and details about their day. You should be their person.
He sends an old photo to his ex.
Exes are exes for a reason, so why is mofo still chatting them up via email, liking their Instagram pics, and sending them gym selfies? Also, sending an old photo of them as a couple is an extra indication that he wants to rekindle that flame. Like, ooooh, look at us when we were together and happy!
Well, maybe if they would text you sexy selfies you’d be more connected! Instead of microcheating, your partner should focus on reigniting your relationship.
