Tips for Spotting An Unfaithful Partner
Now, this is not a pleasant subject to tackle at all, but sometimes it's worth arming yourself with the tools which give you the ability to spot a cheating partner. Wising up to some of the signs that all may not be hunky-dory within your relationship could save you a great deal of pain by allowing you to identify and confront the offender early on in your relationship"or at least earlier than you would have if you'd carried on in complete ignorance.
Before you confront your partner with the charge of cheating you need to be as sure as humanly possible that you are correct. Try to imagine how you as a committed and devoted partner would feel if your lover challenged you over non-existent infidelity. It would be pretty darn distressing and would put a huge strain on your relationship. So how can you spot the signs before you strike?
Inappropriate flirting - a cheating lover will often start to act with apparent contempt for your feelings by flirting obviously with the opposite sex. You may feel that they are disregarding your emotions when they are usual careful to not hurt your feelings. Flirting with someone who is not your lover but in front of your lover is a sure sign of cheating, especially if the person is usually quite reserved.
Changes to their daily routine - if your partner is usually the type to leave the house at 8am and return at 6pm, but suddenly starts staying late at the office, having unscheduled business trips, a sudden love of golf or the gym then this may be a sign that they are hiding something (or someone!) from you.
Making more effort with their appearance - after a few months or years with the same person many of us stop trying to impress our other halves and let ourselves go. If your partner suddenly starts taking better care of their appearance, buys a whole new wardrobe or starts to look at themselves more in the mirror, this could be an indication that they are trying to impress someone. If this change in behaviour doesn't appear to be directed at you then they could be trying to impress someone else.
A feeling of distance between you - perhaps the most obvious sign of cheating is that your lover no longer seems to be interested in you emotionally or sexually. Paying you less attention and concentrating more on their daily routine is a massive indicator is infidelity. You may also notice that they start to become very angry and may even be cruel towards you by being overly critical of your appearance or personality. If this is happening to you but it turns out that they aren't cheating, make sure you dump the scumbag anyway! No one deserves to be treated badly, so stand up for yourself and be the one to end the toxic relationship.
