How to Tell if a Partner is Cheating: Uncovering the Truth about Your Relationship
How do you actually uncover the truth about your relationship? Do you just have to turn a blind eye to the going on’s with your partner even if you feel that something is wrong between the two of you? Should your rule be “Ignorance is bliss” or would your rather nip an affair in the bud before things get even worse? Read on to find out the answers to these questions and more.
Emotional Signs that Your Partner is Having an Affair
This may not necessarily apply to men, but most women usually experience this nagging feeling when their partner is cheating. If your partner is exhibiting odd behavior which you feel is related to him or her cheating, don’t just ignore the feeling or simply let it pass.
Pay attention to your gut instinct. Although there’s a saying that what you don’t know won’t hurt you – when it comes to relationships – knowing the truth about what your partner is up to is usually the best decision all the way round. No matter how much the truth hurts and how your relationship ends up later on, you’re always better off knowing what the truth exactly is.
Do Actions Speak It doesn’t matter whether you just said your “I dos”, celebrated ten or so years of Louder than Words? Other Telltale Signs of Cheating
Next, what are the most obvious signs that your partner is cheating? Ask any psychologist and they are bound to come up with a list of the telltale signs of when your partner may be cheating.
To give you an idea, here is a quick list of some of the actions, instances and other things to watch out for so that you can tell if your significant other is cheating:
- Your partner is more attentive to your needs than usual.
Okay, you shouldn’t necessarily freak out if your boyfriend suddenly decides to prepare you a home cooked meal with a bouquet of flowers to match. However, such extra-sweet behavior may be a cover-up for his guilt feelings. Showering you with presents or all that extra attention may be a way to make himself feel less guilty for cheating on you.

One of the most important aspects of a couple’s relationship is their sex life. If you feel that your partner is not as keen to have sex with you as before, it could be because someone else has entered the picture. The same thing holds true for the time that you’re spending out of bed – be it going to dinner, meeting up for lunch, spending time with common friends or family members.
- Other telltale cheating signs to watch out for.If your partner is cheating on you with someone from work, your being excluded in work-related social events could be a sign of cheating. Reluctantly accepting your signs or acts of affection is also a red light warning to watch out for. Mysterious phone calls; lipstick stains on his shirt; being called to work at odd hours of the night or during the weekend; simple trips to the grocery which seem to take hours; your partner picking up unreasonable fights; being angry or defensive when the topic of infidelity comes up; suddenly introducing new people in your life; behavior that just doesn’t add up – these are the telltale cheating signs to watch out for.
All in all, it does pay to watch out for the warning signs that your partner is cheating. Whether you end up giving your relationship another go once the infidelity is discovered or if you end up breaking things off – it is still better than being left in the dark and not knowing the real
