Podcast cover

The Hook Up

This podcast episode from Triple J's *The Hook Up* discusses the TikTok trend of "micro-cheating," exploring various listener-submitted examples and definitions. The hosts and guest experts debate whether the term is useful, concluding that it often masks underlying trust issues and insecurities rather than clearly defining infidelity. They suggest that focusing on individual relationship boundaries and preferences, rather than applying a blanket term like "micro-cheating," is more productive. The discussion highlights the potential for the term to be misused, particularly in controlling behavior or unfairly judging platonic friendships. Ultimately, the episode encourages open communication and self-reflection regarding relationship expectations.
