Five (5) Foolproof Ways To Tell That Your Partner Is Cheat!ng On You

It always starts with a feeling, which is why you may find yourself reading this article, hoping maybe you’ll find something that makes you realize you’re just being crazy or jealous. That feeling plays a huge role in discovering infidelity, as you’ll quickly become more aware and observant to what is going on in your relationship and how your partner is acting.

To start, it’s important to look at yourself honestly. Are you the jealous type? Do your insecurities spill over into your relationship, making you hypersensitive to being left or cheated on? If so, take a deep breath and think logically before you start snooping around trying to catch your partner doing something that may end up being completely innocent. Think before you speak and act as you may end up looking insecure and jealous for no reason.

If your gut feeling lingers or there is a nagging suspicion that something isn’t right, pay attention to your partner to see if they have been displaying any of the following behavior changes or reactions. Keep in mind these are only common indicators of a Cheat!ng partner, not absolutes.

They guard their technology

n the world of constant communication and technology, an affair is easier than ever to discover. There’s credit card evidence, computer history, and smartphone usage. If there is an affair going on they’ll need to communicate, and to communicate they’ll send emails, texts, Facebook messages, or Whatsapp notes regularly. These will most likely be deleted upon reading, but you’ll need to pay attention to the way they handle their electrical devices. Did you used to sit on the couch scrolling through Instagram together and now they constantly leave their phone in another room or keep it in their pocket on silent? Is their phone suddenly password protected or they start staying up late “working” on the computer? Small changes to their need for privacy may mean that they’re hiding something from you.

Emotional distance

This is one change you’ll notice right away. If suddenly your partner seems distant and removed from you and your relationship, it may mean they’ve shifted their emotional investment to someone else. Relationships take a lot of work to maintain, so it will be difficult for them to be emotionally connected to two people at once and even harder to connect with someone whose trust they’re betraying. Notice if your partner avoids spending alone time with you, says less, and cuts you off from all of your regular warm and fuzzy interactions.

They’re suspicious of you

Do you feel like your once trusting partner is suddenly paranoid? If they’re suddenly pointing the finger at you, getting jealous over things that didn’t used to bother them, and acting suspicious of your behavior, then he or she may be trying to distract you from their own shortcomings. By focusing all their energy on your perceived failings there will be less time for you to focus on what they’re doing. If you notice a change in your relationship’s level of trust, don’t take on the guilt, it may be a clever way that your partner is shielding himself or herself from getting caught.

The blank stare

When someone is having an affair, he or she will constantly be creating lies. One or two lies can be easy to manage, but after some time your partner will have difficulty keeping up with their own stories and explanations of why they stayed at work late or had to run to the grocery store early in the morning. When you inquire over small details of their day or week there will be a delay (hence the blank stare) as they try to remember where they said they were going, what time it was, and so on. There will be a lag time as they try to search through the catalog of lies to remember what they told you. That blank stare is all you’re looking for, especially if your partner prides themselves on their memory and is typically quick to respond to your inquiries.

Shifting interests and behaviors

If your partner’s core behaviors shift dramatically and with no explanation, it may originate from the influence of their new partner. If your partner has always been a meat and potatoes person and suddenly becomes a vegetarian or went from couch potato to early morning run fanatic, you may question what instigated the drastic change. Maybe he or she is different in the sack, pays more attention to their appearance, or has picked up new lingo. Whatever the case may be, be aware of unexplained changes to interests and behaviors. When your partner starts spending ample time with another person, that person’s qualities will rub off on them.
