You might be surprised to find out how many people are now using private investigators to uncover if their partner is cheating on them. This can be expensive and take a long time to get answers - you don't need to go this far to know the truth! Always try this "detective's trick" first if you want to know whether your partner is playing around.

This method is quick, incredibly simple and will barely cost you a dime. There are only three steps you need to follow so let's go over each of them one-by-one.

Step #1 - Could Your Spouse Be Cheating?

Ready to play detective?!? In this first step you are going to need to get a hold of your spouse's cell phone for around 15 minutes. Make sure you have enough time to look at it without worrying about getting "caught".

Pick your time wisely! Maybe your spouse just went out to the store or went to work without their phone. You just need to make sure you have about 15 minutes to "borrow" their phone.

Once you get a hold of their cell phone grab a pen and paper and get comfortable. You are going to look over their entire call history. Most cell phones keep track of the last 100 calls - look at both the incoming and outgoing call history lists and write down every phone number that you see.

When you are making your list, you can leave off any phone number that you know you recognize. You just want to make sure that you are writing down each and every phone number that doesn't look familiar to you.

After you have your list of phone numbers completed, discretely put back the phone and move on to step #2.

Step #2 - How To Find Out If Your Spouse Is Cheating

In front of you there should be a list of all the phone numbers that your spouse has either called or been called by. Now it's time to figure who is behind each of these numbers and find out exactly who they have been talking to. With only a phone number, you can find out someone's full name, address, location details and background information.

There are businesses that put together massive databases of every phone number out there (including unlisted and cell phone numbers). They purchase access to these phone records, build their databases and then let anyone run a search on any phone number.

This type of search is call a "reverse phone lookup" and is done online right from your computer. You just enter the phone number and the person's full details (name, address etc) is shown on your computer screen.

We included a link at the bottom of this article so that you can try a free sample search to see how it works. Have a try and bookmark the page if you don't have your list with you.

As you have probably guessed, there is a fee for this service. It's not expensive though. The cheapest way to use it is to find a company that offers unlimited searches for a one-time only charge. This way you are only billed once and can run a search on as many phone numbers as you want.

Run down your entire list and conduct a search on each phone number. Make sure to write down the information you find out about each one on the same piece of paper.

At this point it's time to go to the last step.

Step #3 - Is Your Spouse A Cheater?

In this final step it's time to look over our results and see what we come up with. You know have a list of exactly who your spouse has been talking to and how often. Anything suspicious is going to jump right out at you.

Look over your results and the names that you see. Often times people will suspect that their partner is cheating with someone in particular - if you are in this boat do you see this name?

Once you know exactly who your spouse has been talking to it's incredibly easy to spot if anything "fishy" is going on. This is a quick and easy way for you to find out if your spouse is cheating and whether you are with a person who is treated you with the respect you deserve.
