Understanding Micro-cheating Traits Based on Your Boyfriend’s Zodiac Sign

Aries

Your Aries boyfriend is a passionate dude. His micro-cheating move might be to reach out to a girl who’s “just a friend” for advice he could Google all because he loves the thrill of playful banter. Watch out for his phone, as he might be engaging in some fiery exchanges.

Taurus

As a sensual earth sign, your Taurus boyfriend might be swayed by physical attraction. He could be giving a waitress or bartender an obscenely large tip just because she’s hot. Or some other kind of very subtle gesture.

Gemini

Geminis are notorious for their dual nature and their love for communication. Your Gemini boyfriend could be micro-cheating by obsessively checking another girl’s social media feeds and getting way more excited about her posts than yours. The internet is their playground, so don’t be surprised if you find them scrolling through someone else’s life.

Cancer

Cancer is an emotional water sign, and your Cancer boyfriend might be seeking emotional connection outside your relationship. He could be confiding in or venting to someone other than you when he’s feeling emotional, craving a response he thinks only that other girl can give. Maybe check out some of those late-night conversations, as they may be a bit less innocent than you thought.

Leo

Leos love attention and admiration. Your Leo boyfriend could be micro-cheating by purposely neglecting to mention you in conversations with friends and colleagues, leading them to think he’s single and ready to mingle and thus creating more energy and intrigue in him. This lion might be seeking more than just his pride’s adoration.

Virgo

Virgos are known for their analytical and meticulous nature. Your Virgo boyfriend could be micro-cheating by keeping a piece of clothing that reminds him of an ex, even if it’s tattered or completely out of style. His attention to detail might extend to his past relationships too. Maybe he just can’t let go, or maybe he’s more obsessed than he even realizes on a conscious level.

Libra

Your Libra boyfriend may flirt with the idea of micro-cheating by meeting up with another woman for dinner or a drink, insisting it’s work-related when it’s not. Watch out for those after-work “meetings” that seem to last longer than expected.

Scorpio

Scorpios are known for their mysterious and secretive nature. Your Scorpio boyfriend could be micro-cheating by establishing secret code words and inside jokes with women outside your relationship.

Sagittarius

Sagittarians crave adventure and freedom. So he might be micro-cheating by mindfully leaving his wedding ring at home when he heads out with the boys, not necessarily to get lucky, but to feel that the realm of possibilities is open to him. It’s not cheating, but it’s a small taste of freedom that he might be relishing.

Aquarius

Aquarius is known for its innovative and unconventional thinking. As such the Aquarius boyfriend might do something super weird to micro-cheat. For instance: he might recommend that you start wearing a certain type of clothing, secretly wanting you to look like the girl he’s kind of crushing on.

Pisces

Pisces are dreamy and ever so emotional. Your Pisces boyfriend could be micro-cheating by closing his eyes when he needs a minute to escape and daydreaming about the girl he’s crushing on, using her as his “opium of the moment.” Watch out for those faraway looks in his eyes, as they may be escaping reality for a moment and thinking about the embrace of someone else.

The zodiac-based micro-cheating scenarios presented here should be taken with a grain of salt, as they are meant to entertain rather than to provide serious relationship advice. Hat tip to this great writer.
