What this test is about
Micro-cheating is the internet's favourite argument: the behaviors that sit between friendly and over-the-line. This test shows you twelve of them — deleting a chat thread, a standing 'work spouse', keeping an ex in the daily rotation — and for each, you rule: fine, gray zone, over the line, or depends on the deal. Your rulings draw your line; the test reads where it landed.
What's free, and what's deeper
Free: Your result — All Clear, Gray-Zone Regular, Line Crosser or It Depends on the Deal — with a one-line read on where your line sits.

Frequently asked questions
What is micro-cheating?
The gray zone of almost-cheating: small behaviors — secret chats, special attention, curated honesty — that may break the spirit of a relationship's deal without breaking its letter. Where the zone starts is exactly what people disagree about, which is what this test measures: your line.
Is there a correct line?
No. Couples run on different deals, and the test doesn't grade yours. It reads where your line sits and what tends to sit on each side of it.
Can my partner take it too?
Yes — and comparing lines is half the fun. You each take it solo; where your lines disagree is usually where the interesting conversation lives.
