Afraid your husband is cheating on you?

It’s a terrible feeling, but you’re not alone.

In this article, I’m going to share with you 16 signs that your husband has been cheating on you.In fact, if you suspect your husband is feeling guilty about cheating on you, then you’ll be able to finally get to the truth after you read this post. I hope for your sake you’re proven wrong.

Cheater’s guilt is a real thing.Despite what you might think, most episodes of cheating are not pre-meditated and planned out as a secret rendezvous at a cheap motel off the highway.Most people find themselves cheating on their partners in throws of passion and moments of weakness.It happens every day with people in the workplace, with friends of your family, and ex-lovers.

Circumstances can be such that we find ourselves spending time with certain people more than we anticipated or thought.

# He’s down in the dumps and full of self-loathing

Is your husband usually on the up-and-up? Loves to go out and have fun?

But lately, he’s down in the dumps and can barely muster a smile in front of you? Even mild guilt can make you hesitant to embrace the joys of life.In fact, guilty feelings can become so strong that some people have a psychological tendency to self-punish to ward off feelings of guilt.

# He’s totally distant and checked out

Barring any major meltdown at work or with his family, there’s no need for him to suddenly pull away from you and ignore you.

He might be trying to be present, but you can see the distance in his eyes and he hasn’t touched you in weeks.

While there are lots of mental health reasons why that might be happening and that’s a conversation to have for sure, there is also a good chance that it’s circumstantial and he’s trying to hide something from you because he feels guilty.

He pulls away to keep himself from saying it out loud.

# He’s paying more attention to you

Another really interesting sign that your guy is cheating on you is one that is far more obvious than being ignored: he’s paying more attention to you.

According to relationship therapist Tracy Ross, this is a common sign of a partner who has a “guilty conscience”:

“They may be considerate or thoughtful in ways that aren’t usually the case, such as doing chores, planning date nights, buying small gifts…”

The key here is to look for behaviors that aren’t usually typical for your husband.

If your husband won’t stop giving you the attention and showering you with affection when he hardly ever used to, then that may point to your husband feeling guilty.

# He is gaslighting you

Do you feel like you can’t get a straight answer out of this mouth? Does it seem as if he is almost trying to confuse you?

This is actually known as gaslighting, which is a common manipulation tactic.

For example, your husband comes home late at night, and you ask him why.

He knows he was doing something you wouldn’t like and is thus reluctant to admit it.

Maybe he was out cheating, drinking, gambling, or any number of things.

Your husband now finds himself stuck in a situation he wasn’t prepared to face.

So he feels that the easiest way out of it is to find fault in you.

# He points out your shortcomings

This is similar to gaslighting. Your husband may do whatever they can to make you the bad egg in this relationship.

Therefore, he might pick fights and find ways in which you’re not acting like a supportive wife.

Again, this is just a smokescreen, to divert attention from what they are doing to what you are doing.

After all, if you’re the one who is causing the majority of the problems in the relationship, then the conversation can’t turn to their cheating ways.

If you’re seeing this symptom, as well as some of the others in this article, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that your husband is cheating. However, you do need to start taking action to stop the degradation of your marriage.

# He’s disappearing without explanation

If your guy starts coming home late from work or isn’t coming home at all and suddenly needs to travel for a job he’s never traveled for before, it could be a major sign that he’s cheating on you and attracted to someone else.

When things become so elaborate that he has to create stories to get out of the house to be with his mistress (or mister!) then it’s beyond the point of repair for most couples.

Not only is he cheating on you, which could be explained away if it was just an accident that happened once (and yes, people do describe it like that), but he is now concocting an elaborate set of lies to keep you off his trail.

That’s hurtful and creates an even bigger mess than the cheating itself.
