Below are some of the most likely signs you have an unfaithful partner. These behaviors do not guarantee someone is being unfaithful, however if a few of these behaviors are happening at once, you have a reason to be suspicious.

• Appearance: They start taking better care of their appearance, looks and clothes.
• Attitude: They becoming moody, bossy or show irritation towards you for no reason. To them, it helps justify cheating because the relationship is bad. However, this could be due to some other dissatisfaction with you.
• Cheating History: They have a history of cheating. History tends to repeat itself. It’s easiest to figure this out in the beginning of a relationship before they have a motivation to cover their tracks. Bringing up your past relationships and how you have cheated (only if you have) while asking them the same is one way to feel them out about it.
• Hangouts: They start hanging out at new places or old hang outs without you. You are not invited and their excuse is they were seeing friends.
• Old Lovers: They start talking to an old lover or partner and referring to them as a friend. Nothing good comes out of your partner conversing with past partners. If they never quit talking to a past lover this CAN BE an exception. It’s when an old flame comes back from nowhere you should really be worried.
• Phone: You hear them whispering on the phone or them hang up quickly when you enter the room. You ask who was on the phone and they become defensive or act as if they are making something up. Strange numbers on the phones are another sign. Again, remember not to let them know that you are suspicious. Don’t push whatever excuse they made up but make a note.
• Physical Evidence: New and unusual smells or marks on their clothes such as perfume, lipstick or cologne.
• Sex: They become unaffectionate and/or lose a sexual appetite. Note: cheaters who do not become less interested in their partner are harder to catch. Sometimes the opposite happens and they have a perverse rush by having more sex with you while they carry on an affair. Especially if it’s drastic increase for sex or they begin making requests for new sexual acts
• Space: They want space or time alone to themselves. This is usually an excuse to get out of the relationship before they start seeing someone else. Note: If you break up so you can have space and then catch them this is not technically cheating.
• Timeliness: They begin showing up late and make sudden excuses on why they have to leave. Their comings and goings become unpredictable.
• Time: They start acting like they don’t have time for you. They wake up and go to work/school with little conversation. They come home and want to do anything else but sit snug and talk. This is only suspicious if you once had a close relationship and now they act like they don’t have time for you.
• Work: They don’t want you showing up at their place of business. If someone is trying to have an affair at work the last thing they want is their partner showing up. It’s hard to keep the story of a relationship falling apart when the partner is being nice in front of the person they are after. Furthermore, if you do show affectionate at work, notice who is around and how they respond.
