I've been looking at what behaviours are considered micro-cheating and think that only a small minority of them are justifiable for people in relationships to question their partner(s) about.

My main issue with what is defined as micro-cheating is that when a lot of these issues are controlled (people with an affectionate personality hugging friends in greeting, giving friends and contacts nicknames, inside jokes,etc), this could be an indicator of a controlling/abusive relationship.

A side effect of this recent definition of micro-cheating could normalise some aspects of abusive relationships in terms of emotional side of stuff.

I think that micro-cheating should be redefined with a narrower set of behaviours/scenarios that should be considered so. Or better yet, just scrap the word in general and stick to someone either cheating or not.

After all, different relationships and their dynamics have a different definition of what's cheating and what's not cheating.
