New trend in the world of infidelity: having an affair

A new word, a new hype: nowadays we live so much with our phones that online cheating is a real thing. You can really hurt your partner by constantly having contact with someone else. There is now a new word for that: an appaire.

Cheating light, as it is also called by the experts. You text intimately and personally with someone else you find interesting, but that’s where it ends. You don’t meet physically and no, there’s no kissing or sex involved. But there is that contact, that fun with someone else. That also hurts. In fact: it can sometimes feel more hurtful than a drunken kiss in a bar where someone can’t remember anything. You consciously have an appaire every day. You seek less contact with your partner, but much more with your secret crush on the phone.

The special thing about an appaire is: as a cheater, you often get away with it. You set your phone to unlock with facial recognition or you always put your phone away when your partner is nearby. You can keep it secret for a long time and if someone finds out, you can easily brush it off. This cheating? No way, you haven’t been in bed with that other person, right? Well. There’s little to blame you for, while you are indeed cheating. Just keep your texts to your own love. Saves a lot of trouble.
