Cheating Spouses 

Signs To Look Out For

The more you understand more about the subject the more enlightened you will become. As you read this article you'll find that the subject of the cheating spouse is certainly no exception.

If you have any suspicion that your spouse may be cheating on you and having a secret affair then do not, impulsively, immediately confront them. Who knows? Your suspicions may be wrong and, if they are not, then your spouse may gain time to take actions to conceal the affair. Better still, take a browse over the signs set out below and, if your spouse is showing some of these signs, then he or she should well warrant further silent and deeper investigation. 

Whatever your feelings on the matter you will need solid evidence of your spouses activities. Solid evidence cannot be rebuffed or denied – impulsive emotion accusations can. Dependent upon your emotional and financial circumstances it might be wise to engage a professional investigator to gather evidence. The investigators evidence will be factual for any legal proceedings or, should you decide, a hard headed private investigator approach direct to your spouse might be shock enough to them and possibly salvage your relationship? 

Some Cheating Spouse Signs To Look Out For:  

At the commencement of an affair, the cheating spouse might show more affection than normal. Then after time the cheating spouse attitude may change to start finding faults, criticizing and picking on their partner. These actions constitute a defense mechanism in the cheaters mind to justify the affair. An argument is a good excuse to walk out to visit their new love interest.

An attitude change towards the family will generally occur. The cheater will become more distant, disinterested and find fault more often with their spouse and family members. They will lose interest in home activities, the children and attending to their normal household chores.

Change in sexual outlook and activity will become apparent. Whether it is a lost interest in sex with you, the opposite of more sex, or a sudden desire for new sexual techniques.

Financial records may throw up unusual patterns, unexplained credit card charges or cash withdrawals from the family joint bank accounts. Telephone records may well throw up frequently called but unrecognized numbers. Are these new friends kept unknown to you?

The cheaters personal grooming habits change. A greater than normal attentive to his personal appearance, washing, bathing or showering more frequently especially on returning home. Taking up physical improvement activities i.e. the gym, buying new clothes and changes of perfume or cologne.

A change in laundry-washing activity to hide traces of lipstick, bodily fluids or tobacco smoke etc to conceal evidence of an affair.

Other indications may appear i.e. unusual perfumes or odors, lipstick on bodily secretions on clothing. Unexplained notes or phone numbers, receipts or condoms. A check on the cheating spouses motorcar can often throw up such evidence.

The cheater starts to work longer hours than ever before without reasonable explanation and/or starts to take more business trips away. Where the partner claims to be working late then, if applicable, try to check pay slips to confirm any overtime. 

The cheaters car mileage is far higher than in the past for no apparent change in normal daily activity. 

The secretive, furtive use of the home computer or telephone. The cheater may hang up the phone rapidly on their partner's appearance. Mystery incoming phone calls where the caller immediately hangs up when the wrong spouse answers – check your phone system for caller identification/ call back facilities to identify the number.
