Thousands of people deal with infidelity every day. But fretting over the ‘maybes’ and ‘what ifs’ can be extremely exhausting.
Here are some signs which may not prove your spouse is cheating on you, but if you can identify many of them in your relationship, chances are your relationship is in trouble.
1. Emotional distance
Growing apart emotionally may signal a big problem that you may still be unaware of.
If you notice your emotional connection is not what it used to be, consider talking to your partner.
2. Trust your heart
This is a tricky one because sometimes your obsession can overpower what is really in front of you but usually, if you feel your partner is being unfaithful, trust that instinct.
3. Spending less time together
If you notice your partner doesn’t want to spend as much time with you as he/she used to, chances are he/she is spending the time with someone else.
4. The dates become less
If you notice your partner doesn’t want to do anything with you anymore, or treat you to anything, don’t jump to conclusions right away, but consider infidelity as an option.
5. Spending time with others
It might sound harmless at first, but if you notice that your partner encourages you to spend more time with others, chances are they want to spend more time with others.
6. Schedule change
When your partner’s schedule suddenly changes drastically with a lot of time they cannot account for, chances are they’re cheating.
7. The cell phone
If your partner receives numerous suspicious texts and phone calls they don’t want to answer in front of you, there’s a big possibility they’re cheating on you.
8. Time spent
Your partner spends a lot of time with a friend from the opposite sex or they hang out with their ex a lot, but still denies that anything is going on.
9. A new appearance
This is also not a very reliable tip, but if you notice that your partner’s physical appearance is drastically changing for the good, chances are they’re trying to impress someone.
Whatever happens, try not to play the detective all the time. Trust your instincts and good luck.
*None of these tips are a definite indicator of cheating, it is merely a guideline.
