A TikTok creator is going viral after posting a list of seven behaviors she considers cheating, and the comment section has turned into a full-blown debate. Laila Hakim’s list includes DMing random women, deleting messages, repeatedly viewing a stranger’s profile, liking suggestive photos, and maintaining a“work girlfriend.”The video pulled in over 314,000 likes and thousands of comments.
The disagreement isn’t about whether these behaviors are okay, it’s about what to call them. Some commenters argue that cheating requires physical or romantic involvement, while others say any hidden attraction or sneaky behavior crosses the line. Hakim’s stance is straightforward: don’t justify being unloyal, and don’t embarrass your partner.
Wherever you land, the video is sparking real conversations about boundaries and what respect looks like in a relationship. So we want to hear from you: which behavior on that list would be a dealbreaker for you, and which one do you think is totally fine?
