How do you know if your partner is cheating? Usually, if you’re asking this question, you already suspect that you’re the victim of infidelity, or at the very least that something is amiss in your relationship. The signs of cheating look different in every relationship, of course, but there are some common threads that you can look for.

First and foremost, I will tell you this: If your gut tells you that your partner is cheating, it may be right.

Working after hours

If your spouse has suddenly begun working after hours, then you have a good reason to think that you are being cheated on, especially if your better half doesn’t provide any explanations and/or these explanations are vague or hard to believe.

If you are often left alone till the late night and on weekends, then it is time to raise a red flag for sure.

More personal space

When your soul-mate states that he or she needs more space for no obvious reason, then it is a warning sign that something is wrong. 

People who have an affair usually ask for more personal space so that they can sort out their feelings and steady their nerves.

Truth be told, these are just well-worn excuses used for taking to legs and spending more time with their lovers. Keep alert!

Too much of grooming

If your soul-mate suddenly starts to pay too much attention to his or her appearance – often visits beauty salons, buys many new clothes, wears new fragrances, and so forth – but doesn’t care a lot when you pay compliments, something is going on! 

Of course, your better half can do it to build more confidence, but if he or she gives nothing for your opinion, then it is more likely that he or she goes out all for someone else.

​More privacy

If you two have never hidden anything from each other and now your soul-mate needs more privacy, then it is a good reason for smelling a rat.

Your spouse may set up a screen lock on his or her phone or laptop, get rid of all receipts, hide credit card bills, and so forth. Such a behavior change shouldn’t be ignored for sure.

Often on the phone

The advances that have been made in the world of technology now give people lots of opportunities to communicate with each other through Internet tools.

So, if your better half spends much time on the phone, especially late at night, and he or she gets irritated when you grill him or her about it, then this may be a potential sign of emotional infidelity.

Lack of intimacy

If your better half/men is less attracted to you than he or she used to be, you shouldn’t ignore this sign.

  Of course, many factors can influence your sexual life, such as health problems, hormone imbalance, stress, and others, but if your spouse rejects any of these, then you have a good reason to talk to your soul-mate seriously.

Whatever the reason, you have to talk about it directly; otherwise, you cannot rule out a possibility that your spouse has a bit on the side.

If you are a woman, fortunately there is a way to stop him from pulling away and become obsessed with you. You should check it by clicking here.

“We are nothing more than friends”

Many people, who are being cheated on, hear this phrase sooner or later. When you hear it, don’t lap it up.

As soon as you buy into it, your spouse will feel like he or she is allowed to hang out with whomever he or she wants.

But if you show that you boil with indignation, then your spouse can play on your distrust.

If you see that your soul-mate still spends much time with this “friend” and tries to convince you that you are over-complicating, it is probably an affair rather than a friendship we are talking here about.

Lots of inconsistencies

If it happens regularly that your spouse cannot account for particular periods and activities, then it is time to think hard whether or not your soul-mate is being faithful.

Not being at the gym when he or she is supposed to be there and lots of receipts that don’t match the places your soul-mate is supposed to visit are just a few signs that something wrong is going on.

If you are not comfortable with such behavior, then try to see which way the wind is blowing.

You start smelling a rat

If you are chronically keeping tabs on your spouse or coming up with a hundred reasons why he or she cannot have an affair, then you are probably married to a straying person.

Watch out for the signs of cheating and trust your sixth sense. It is a fact of life that if something seems wrong, it probably is.
