It is not only marital infidelity that can lead partners to cooling of feelings and separation.
Micro-cheating, the existence of which many do not even suspect, does almost the same thing to partners, and it appears unexpectedly, insinuatingly.
We will tell you what micro-cheating is and why it can lead to divorce, despite the fact that nothing “like that” has happened yet.
What is micro-cheating?
Experts from Psychology Today interpret this phenomenon as a lack or decrease in the level of trust in relationships.
The very fact of an intimate relationship with a stranger may not exist at all.
But for micro-cheating it is enough that one of the partners does not want to work on developing the existing relationship.
A clear example of micro-cheating is refusing to wear a wedding ring, chatting with an ex, and doubting a partner’s affection.
If you get fixated on what is happening and try to explain the strange behavior of your partner as micro-cheating, you can go to extremes.
Those who try to dispel their doubts do the right thing in such a situation.
To do this, you need to start an honest conversation with your partner.
Tell him that you are concerned about his behavior and the fate of your relationship.
But it is impossible to achieve any result by force.
It is important that both, and not just one, strive for the same goal – to maintain the relationship.
