What’s Changed?

The biggest thing that tips people off to a cheating partner is usually a change in their behavior.

While men are more worried about and feel more betrayed by physical cheating (having sexual contact), women tend to be more upset by the emotional betrayal of infidelity. No matter which part of a partner straying is worrying you, you owe it to yourself to find out what is really happening.

They say hindsight is 20/20 but if you stop to put all the signs together, you’ll realize all the small things actually amount to some major differences.

Change in Appearance

If your mate is suddenly taking much better care of themselves and their appearance, you might be wondering why. There are some indicators that these changes could be due to having a new love interest.

When a spouse starts wearing new clothes that seem out of their comfort zone or they are suddenly more particular about hygiene before going out alone could be a red flag.

They may start watching what they eat or have a new interest in working out and getting into better physical shape.

Change in Behavior

It’s not just how good they look that changes when someone is being unfaithful. Often there are blatant signs of cheating in the changes in their personality or behavior.

They may start picking fights so they have a reason to leave or can ease their conscience regarding their infidelity. Some individuals will be more attentive and affectionate when they are home. Bringing gifts or flowers out of the blue. This too is often due to feeling guilty for cheating.

Working late or unexplained absences, long hours when they can’t be reached, and new excuses for trips out of town are telltale signs that something might be going on.

Change in Privacy Settings

If someone has something to hide they usually start taking steps to make sure they do. New passwords on their phone or computer, changes in privacy settings on social media or new profiles.

Check their phone for new contacts that don’t provide details about who they are for. You may also want to check the phone call history and text messages they’ve sent and received.

Most people who are cheating know how to hide things better than that though. There are apps that hide conversations and communication so be sure to check for unrecognizable apps that seem to be new.

Checking Up on Them

You don’t want to spend your life following them around and checking every move they make but if you still suspect you’re being cheated on, it’s in your best interest to find out the truth.

If you are still questioning your spouse’s fidelity, you may want to consider having them investigated so you can learn the truth.
