Cheating
Relationship
Here are Some Signs to Look For
If
you are involved in a cheating relationship, you are probably feeling
as though someone has either punched you in the stomach or stabbed you
in the back.
Whether you call it a love affair, cheating,
infidelity, adultery, whatever...you are not alone.
Anyone who has gone through it can tell you it can be
devastating.
At
the end of the day, we all just want to be with someone who loves
us, makes us happy, makes us feel needed and someone
who we
can trust.
That's not too much to ask for -- it's something we all deserve.
OK, so here are some tips from the Dating Relationship experts that
might help you tell if you are in a cheating relationship.
1. You Notice A Big
Change in Behavior
If you partner's daily routine and typical behavior suddenly changes,
it might be a warning sign.
You find odd things like a gift in the car, a greeting card
with suggestive writings in it.
Car is kept clean of any evidence of you or insistence on always having
it cleaned FIRST before you can ride in it.
Partner takes a new interest in clothing and appearance, smells
"different", unknown cologne or soap.
You find out by accident that he or she took a day or personal
time off from work– but supposedly worked on those days.
Suddenly works long hours or weekends and never seems to be at his/her
desk to answer the phone.
Has lots of “emergency errands” but then comes home empty-handed,
saying “They didn’t have what I needed.”
2. Can't Account for
Missing Money
Money is spent and unaccounted for.
It’s
a big red flag when your partner doesn’t want you to see the bills,
hides the bills when they come in and only lets you know the amount.
Your partner shreds the bills, locks them up in a file
cabinet that you have no access to.
Has the bills sent to work or a post office box.
3. You Notice a Change
in Attitude
You find your partner has been lying to you.
Your partner doesn’t want to go anywhere or do anything with you
anymore.
You feel as if you are being avoided.
Your partner seems more secretive.
Mutual friends start acting strangely toward you.
Your partner seems bored. Bored with you, with hobbies, with
life in general.
Your partner gets very defensive if you mention infidelity or affairs.
4. Changes in Your
Relationship
Your
partner, out of guilt, can start acting mean or otherwise
abusive
towards you. This is often because your partner is
trying
to make you out to be the one at fault in order to
justify
the affair.
Your partner might also want to find you cheating or accuse you of
doing so, in order to also ease the guilty conscience.
5. Your Intuition
The single most telltale sign of a cheating partner? Having to ask that
question in the first place.
LISTEN
TO YOUR GUT! A gut feeling is something you feel
inside that
is not quite right. This is usually a sign
that
something might be wrong. “When in doubt check them out.”
How should
you handle suspicions?
No
single cheating relationship tip mentioned above means an
individual is 100% cheating. But if all five are occurring,
you
may want to address the problem right away.
We suggest openly
confronting your partner with any concerns of a cheating relationship
in a respectful and responsible manner. The health of your relationship
is your responsibility.
