    This type of behaviour once almost drove me insane. Its the worst, really. Broke my self esteem, confidence, trust in people, trust in my own Feelings and perception, broke my heart and mind into a million pieces, anyone who ist willing to do that to a partner they claim they love just to get their own needs met and use also third people like that, does not deserve to be called a partner at all

    If you have unmet needs, it's important to communicate with your partners so they can help solve the problem. Using micro-cheating to address unmet needs is so F dumb 🙄

    I have to admit, I had never heard of micro-cheating before this video and I was skeptical based on just the title, but this makes so much sense. It's really helpful for noticing little things in oneself and one's partner that might indicate that some reflection and communication needs to be done to make sure the relationship is right for both.

      I acknowledge that you would have that view. I guess my view may seem strange to you. If my partner wants to have friends, that is their business. I would trust them to tell me if they get to the point where things are not working with me. Maybe I am naive and maybe I am more compatible with a secure attachment style partner.

    Thais, when this happened to us, we were not in the power struggle stage, more than a decade on. And I did introspect and I did communicate my needs which weren't being met( practically none), and it changed nothing. Hence we are where we are now.

    As a graduate of Thais’ relationship consulting program, I obviously agree with much of what Thais said. However, I have to respectfully disagree on certain points. I am a HUGE advocate of conducting NEEDS analysis for BOTH partners. In fact, our schooling systems in NA don’t teach any relationship skills whatsoever. This is sad and I hope that eventually changes. What I would say instead of blaming one partner or the other, EVERY adult should conduct their own NEEDS analysis and redo that analysis throughout their adult lives. In a relationship, even the so-called ‘non cheating’ partner needs to be aware of their partners needs because they likely play a role in not meeting their partner’s needs. So, I’d say that it isn’t nearly as black and white as it may have sounded here.
    But the principal blame is on a culture who expects people to magically fall in love and live happily ever after without ever providing any ‘relationship training’ at all. This is laughable. If we trained our pilots the same way we do our relationships, a 737 would be crashing every single day. So, let’s change the culture and institute real relationship training, of which NEEDs analysis would be a central focus. It’s just that important.

      I was very unfullfiled in every way, in a relationship. I choose to leave instead of cheating. Cheating shows that one person is okay with betraying and hurting the other person. It takes a certain dose of machiavellianism to do it, it's not all about unmet needs. Some people even have needs we cannot met, that they meet them via cheating, because a relationship doesn't fulfill their need for validation, their need for adoration, etc. I am talking here about the men and women who are deeply insecure and need reassurance.

      @@miriamb2367I agree 100% with you. My last relationship was with a person with narcissistic traits. Needless to say, none of my needs were met. I never cheated on him, but rather chose to leave the relationship eventually. But I was micro-cheated on and literally cheated on multiple times. His need for attention and admiration was insatiable.

    This could also be a subconscious effort to create emotional distance, too? Would I be right in saying that...
    If so, if that's part of a deactivation, for example, you're losing someone you probably really care about, and also losing someone who deeply cares for you.
    For the sake of short term pleasure?

    How could someone be so selfish to blame it on “unmet needs” but don’t even consider their own partner’s needs (I.e. loyalty and honesty) it’s just adults being immature. Your partner isn’t supposed to be your constant entertainer. It boils down to the cheater not wanting to be with their partner and not being adult enough or respectful enough to end things or clearly expressing their needs. Most of the time the ppl they cheat with don’t provide much more than their partner does. They just want their cake and eat it to. These are toxic ppl that thrive on drama and faux “passion”.

    Subconscious or not, one word- weakness. They are weak. Their parents are to blame too as well as them. Cheating should be made a crime. Nothing less. Why? Because it ruins peoples lifes. Like any other abuse. No point talking about it.

      Being cheated on is painful. But I think the people who struggle with it the most are people who aren't connected to who they are to begin with either. I've seen horrible actions being justified under the guise that someone was in pain because they were cheated on. That's not right either. And no, it can't be a crime because at the end of the day we all have free will. If someone cheats on you, and hopefully you find out and aren't in the dark about it too long, then the best choice you can make is to end the relationship or marriage. It's very hard to build a relationship without trust. We can't control other people but we can control ourselves. This is not to excuse cheating as a behavior, but to understand it. Cheaters are human too. It doesn't mean we need to accept their actions -- absolutely not. But if we hear what she is actually saying, it's that some people might not even trust that their needs can be met if their partner isn't someone they feel safe with. It's not a cut and dry experience for everyone. It is the responsibility of the cheater to communicate though, as she said. If your life is ruined after someone cheated on you, perhaps you invested too much too soon without actually letting them show you who they are.

      Jesus wasn't permitting cheating when he said "He who is without sin can cast the first stone." He was saving a CHEATERS life. They were going to give her the death penalty. Jesus then told that CHEATING woman to go and sin no more. Cheating is a sin. And throughout most of human history the death penalty was the just penalty for such a heinous action.

 You’re either cheating (breaking the stated boundaries of your relationship) or your not. My boyfriend and I have always been on the same page about this, thank God. I can’t imagine worrying about “microcheats” as an adult. We have bigger things to concern ourselves with.
