Hey, look at this! It’s just what you needed in your life…another dating term! Back in the day, people in the dating world simply did crappy things. Today, in the era of social media and influencers, every behavior seems to need a name or label. This time, we’re talking about “monkey branching.” That’s when someone “starts giving emotional or romantic attention to a new partner, while still maintaining their current relationship.” That sounds oddly similar to what used to just be called “cheating” or “attempted cheating.”
