Unfortunately, if you think your wife is cheating on you, you might just be right. That’s the part nobody wants to admit.
If you’ve found your way to this article, it’s because you’ve had your suspicions and need to put your own mind at ease.
Perhaps you’ve gotten stuck in a loop of despair and are finding yourself feeling more paranoid with each passing day. It’s not easy. And neither is thinking that your wife is sleeping with someone else.
Women cheat for very different reasons than men cheat.
So before you go accusing her of sleeping around, you need to be absolutely sure.
Here’s how you can tell that she’s sleeping with someone else, if you need some confirmation for your own peace of mind and to back up your suspicions when you confront her.
# She’s suddenly unavailable to you and your familyIf she was once an attentive wife and mother, but has pulled back and spends more time doing the things she wants to do, it might be because she is trying to distance herself from the people she is hurting with her affair.
# She seems to be paying more attention to her appearanceIf she’s gone from wearing jeans and a t-shirt to something more revealing or sexy, it’s likely not for your benefit. She’s feeling sexually alive again and that shows in her wardrobe. Women, especially mothers, grow tired and just try to get through the days with clean clothes on.
If she’s suddenly doing her hair and putting make-up on to sit around the house, it could be a sign that she’s dressing up for someone else.
# She is commenting on the marriage troubles of othersIf you find her more interested in gossip and drama of other people’s relationships, this is a sign that she is feeling you out.
She’s wondering how you feel about affairs and divorce or separation. She might have some mighty strong opinions about it, and be totally against it on the surface.
The truth is that she might be projecting her fears and judgements about herself onto these other couples.
# She seems guiltyIf she is apologizing more or trying to pay more attention to you than before, it might be because she is feeling guilty about what she is doing.
She seems to keep to herself and not share things with you as much.
# She wants to experiment in the bedroomIf you’ve grown tired of one another, but suddenly she is interested in sex again and wants to try new things in the bedroom, it’s a sign that she’s having an affair.
This might also be guilt sex, especially if she comes home from being out “with friends” and suddenly wants to get frisky.
# She tells you she needs more alone timeThe opposite might happen as well: she might withdraw altogether from sex and intimacy with you. Also because of guilt.
She might say things like she wants to go away by herself – and she might mean it – but the point is that she doesn’t want to spend time with you because it makes her feel bad.
She needs time to think and process life – that’s a sign that she’s got big decisions to make.
# She doesn’t invite you out with her friendsOne sign that your wife might be cheating on you is if she is suddenly spending more time with friends, but leaving you at home.
If she isn’t inviting you out or is insisting that you stay home and watch the game, you might be right to be concerned.
