The signs of cheating can vary for each individual. Some people are just plain better at deception than others. If you have a suspicion that your spouse may be secretly hiding an affair with another individual whatever you do do not confront your mate. Confronting your spouse can possibly make the affair harder to prove because they will go to even greater lengths to hide what is really going on. Instead, go over the list of signs and if your significant other is showing or has shown more than a few of these it may be a good idea to hire a professional to get you solid evidence.
A few very common signs of a cheating spouse include:
•A change in sex life: The cheater wants nothing to do with sex, wants a lot more sex, or has unexplained sexual requests or utilizes new sexual techniques.
•A sudden change in appearance: He/She is working out all of a sudden; their taste in clothing has changed, change in cologne.
•The cheater has a definite attitude change towards everyone in the household especially the mate, picking fights for no reason.
•Unexplained absences, working late, hang up phone calls.
•The cheater may begin to find fault in his/her spouse to try to justify the affair.
•Unrecognized and frequently called phone numbers on your mates cell phone bill.
•Leaving home during an argument, many cheaters will provoke a fight so they can leave the home to call or visit the other person.
•Taking business or leisure trips alone
•Having new friends
•Taking showers as soon as returning home
•Will do the laundry when they never used to, or at a time when they normally would not. They may be trying to hide the signs of smoke, lipstick, bodily fluids, etc.
•Smelling of perfume or alcohol
•The Mileage on his/her vehicle seems excessive.
•Their use of the computer or internet is excessive or secretive.
•A gut feeling (intuition is real)
If you are familiar with one or more of these signs, you may have a problem on your hands. Common advice I give clients that are suspicious of their spouse is to keep a journal of their spouse’s activities for two weeks. This will help establish a pattern and make it easier for an investigator to prove or disprove infidelity. It is not easy to admit that your spouse may be having an affair. Infidelity does not discriminate. It can affect anyone of any race, color, or creed. It does not matter if you are rich or poor, where you live, or your age. Infidelity can exist in your home, and you can be its victim. Cheaters cheat for several different reasons but it is very important to remember if your spouse is indeed having an affair that it is NOT your fault. It is extremely common for the infidel to try to place the blame on you. Saying things like “I wouldn’t have done it if"… or “You refuse to do this, so"…. Attempts to shift the blame is nothing but the persons guilt spontaneously combusting during a stressful situation. Life is about choices and it was not your choice for your mate to cheat, it was theirs.
If you want proof, it is highly recommended that you do hire a professional. What you plan on doing with any evidence that you obtain is your choice. Whether it is seeking counseling or a matrimonial attorney, nobody can tell you what choice is the best.
Do you suspect that your husband or wife is cheating on you? If you think that your spouse is cheating, you may be looking for confirmation. Before you take steps to start spying on your spouse or before you decide to hire the services of a costly private investigator, read the signs below to see if your spouse may truly be cheating on you.
1 - A Change in Physical Appearance
Men and women who cheat often want to impress or entice the individual they are having inappropriate relations with. When doing so, they often change or improve their appearance. If your spouse starts paying more attention to their weight or buys new clothes, they may be having an affair.
2 - Distance or Lack of Communication
Until you recently started noticing a problem, how was your communication with your spouse? If your spouse has recently stopped talking to you or distanced themselves from you at home, there is a good chance that they may be cheating on you. This is because they may be afraid of making a mistake and talking about their affair or they may already be discussing their problems with someone else.
3 - They Constantly Work Late
Depending on your spouse and his or her career, they really may have to work late. With that said, be on the lookout for changes and use your best judgment. Has your husband or wife all of a sudden started working late? In terms of using your best judgment, know what careers often call for late nights, such as lawyers, doctors, and so forth.
4 - They Spend Too Much Time with Friends
Spending time with friends does not always signal a cheater. In fact, healthy relationships also depend on healthy outside friendships. With that said, be sure to use your best judgment. Look for the appearance of new friends or an increased amount of time. Has your husband or wife gone from spending one night a week with friends to three or more?
5 - You Don't Know Where They Are
When you are married, there is never really any reason why you shouldn't know where your spouse is, especially late at night or for long periods of time. If you do not know, chances are your spouse is cheating. When they arrive home, they better have a good reason for being late or not letting you know where they were.
6 - You Hear Rumors
Many men and women are not careful about cheating. This often involves them telling someone or someone seeing them out on a date. In these types of situations, people often talk. Listen to what you hear. If people are telling you that your spouse is cheating, it might be time to start listening.
7 - No Sex
Has your relationship recently become sex-free or has the sex that you do have decreased in intensity and in frequency. If so, there is a good chance that your spouse is cheating on you. Men and women who get sex elsewhere don't always need to have it again when they return home.
8 - You Are Accused of Cheating
In today's society, cheating is a major concern. If your spouse accuses you of cheating, have you been displaying behavior that may lead them to that conclusion? If you haven't, there is a good chance that they are accusing you of cheating to make themselves feel less guilty.
9 - Hearing the Phrase "We are Just Friends"
The "just friends," phrase is a big sign of a cheater. As with all other friendships, it is important to use your best judgment. If the friend of the opposite sex and are they are a newly acquired friend? If so, something may be up.
10 - A Bad Feeling
Bad feelings are not something that should be easily dismissed. If you have reason to believe that your husband or wife is cheating, they may be. If you do not want to be in a relationship with a cheater, it is important for you to follow your heart. Take additional steps to see if they are truly cheating. These steps may involve hiring a private investigator or spying.
