Many couples have set movies nights or plans to watch certain shows together, but sometimes one partner sneaks and watches the movie by themselves or skips ahead of their partner by a few episodes. New York Magazine has coined a name for it: “Netflix Adultery.” Netflix itself has been studying the practice, the magazine reports.
