You’ve been with your partner for a while, and things were going well… until recently. You’ve noticed a slight behavioral change, yet you can’t pinpoint exactly what’s going on. But something deep inside you is hinting towards the signs of infidelity.
To be honest, it’s a common reaction when we notice our partners behaving strangely. We tend to automatically assume it’s because of us that they’re acting like this. But before you start to have a panic attack and think your partner is seeing someone else, it’s important you take a look at the signs of infidelity first.
Just because your partner is acting a little off doesn’t mean they’re cheating on you. They could be stressed, having issues with their family, or you might going through a rough time as a couple. But that doesn’t mean they’re cheating on you.
# You have a gut feeling
There’s something inside of you telling you that something is off. Of course, it doesn’t mean they’re cheating. But it’s a sign that your relationship isn’t in sync right now. Whatever the issue, talk to your partner about it and see what’s going on.
# They’re routinely MIA
Recently, they’ve become unreachable. You don’t know where your partner is for hours at a time. And they give you lame excuses like there wasn’t any reception or their phone had no battery.
# There’s an emotional disconnectionYou used to be able to have deep conversations with your partner, but they seem to have come to a halt. Your partner isn’t interested in hearing about your day or any of the problems you face. This is weird because they used to be emotionally invested in the relationship.
# They changed their passwords on all their devices
Your partner probably knows the passwords to your devices but doesn’t feel the need to snoop through your phone. However, if they suddenly change their password, you should wonder why. You weren’t looking through their phone in the first place, so why change the password?
# They stop using we
When they spoke about doing things, they would say, “we.” But now, when they talk, they only use the singular “I.” When we use the word “we,” it’s because we see ourselves as a part of a team. But when someone’s cheating, they remove themselves from the partnership.
# They mention one person very oftenIn conversation, they talk about one specific person more than anything. At first, it made you feel that maybe you’re just overreacting, but as other signs pop up, you see a scary pattern form.
# They’ve changed the way they lookYour partner has suddenly decided to change the way they look. It was a drastic change too. They got a new haircut, bought new clothes, and are really trying to look nice. Now, this wouldn’t be odd, but it came out of the blue without any explanation.
# They give elaborate stories on where they wereThey weren’t home all day, and you asked them what happened. The story you received was good enough to be a screenplay. Their stories to back up where they were are elaborate and very descriptive. If you ask them to repeat the story a couple of hours later, they probably will make mistakes.
# Their friends behave strangely around youNot only have you noticed a change in your partner’s behavior, but their friends also act a little off. They’re not as open as they used to be and are a bit hesitant to say anything around you. Sounds like they’re trying to hide something.
