This Video about Cheating Went Viral but It’s Not That Kind of Cheating

Cheating on a partner is the worst kind of betrayal right? Well, a lot of people would agree – particularly if it is cheating of the ‘serial’ variety. Someone posted a video about cheating on a partner and it went viral – some agreed, some thought it was hilarious. 

Serial cheating

So this isn't a partner who regularly cheats on their spouse /significant other. It’s just someone who watches episodes of series on the sly --- it’s cheating of a sort.

No, it’s not about polyamory

It’s not about cheating and it’s not about an open relationship. It’s about watching a series on Netflix, Amazon, HBO etc. on the sly.

‘Other Shows’

The video parodies the usual things people say when they’ve been caught cheating – that there was peer pressure and that they should perhaps see other people.

Not my fault

It’s you not me, say many cheaters.

This can happen

Sleep cycles may not be compatible – how can viewing be compatible?

Guilty!

Many have been guilty of watching stuff behind their partner's back – they should be doing it together but they cannot wait!

Netflix etiquette

It used to be called viewing etiquette, now apparently it is a form of cheating.

Other types of ‘cheating’

Apparently it’s possible to cheat on your regular cereal as well?

This went off on a tangent

When videos like this go viral, there is plenty of spamming – plus wit like this to be seen.

Relatable

Couples promise to watch things together – but they end up breaking those promises quite often it would seem.

Some do this

They cheat and don’t get found out. They don’t confess either.

Keeping tabs?

People keep tabs on their partner’s actions – and viewing.

Sometimes there’s good reason!

Don’t you hate those who chatter while watching? Reason enough to cheat, no?

Or this

Is this just an attempt to get some attention? This commentator seems to think so.

Well now you know

Some apparently didn’t realise this kind of serial ‘cheating’ was possible and waited three years to watch the next episode of a series. I don’t know if that is faithfulness or stupidity?
