Behavior of the Unfaithful Man

Every healthy relationship should have certain foundations built around many things including trust. When you think you have found "the one", you do not want to do anything that could potentially mess things up. By now, you might be aware that men seem to respect women who trust them and don't give them a reason to cheat. So what do you do? You try and trust him and everything that he tells you. To be honest, there is no way to know if you are in a committed relationship unless you literally have a small government operations camera installed on him wherever he goes. But what kind of relationship is that? It should never get to that point.

Faith and trust are the things that keep us hopeful in certain situations. You just have to know deep down inside that the one you love, loves you just as much, and will not do anything to hurt you. Unfortunately, there are many people out there who do cheat on their significant others. There is no way to know for sure, but there could be some signs that your guy may be seeing someone else. Here are a few things to potentially look out for:

1. Sudden Late Night Shifts

If your mate begins working late night shifts all of sudden, then he might be doing something else. A lot of the times, it depends on the nature of his occupation. Not all jobs require you to have to "work late". Most people have to work late because they did not finish work in the usual time frame that they are given, or they may have a special project. If this is the case, couldn't they go in to work a little earlier? There are many reasons why one could use this excuse, but let's be real about this. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If his work is really that important, maybe he wouldn't mind sharing with you what he is doing. If he seems like he is thinking of a lie, then that may be a sign that he is cheating.

2. Loss of Affection

You know how things were between you and your partner when you first hooked up. Over time, things do change between people, but if the love is still there, then it is possible to take the time to refresh your relationship and revive the connection you once had. If your partner no longer seems interested in being intimate with you, or he does not seem interested in anything you are doing or saying, then this may be a sign that he is growing away from you. Just because this happens does not necessarily mean that he is cheating, but after a while, he could begin to cheat if the relationship does not end. But will he end the relationship? No. So he may begin to pick fights.

3. Purposely Picking Fights

If your man begins to pick fights with you over the smallest things, then that might be a sign that he is cheating. Normally, these small things do not bother him, but now they do. His response to everything is now filled with anger or agitation and you are not even sure what you did. If you ask him a question as simple as "What kind of dressing do you want on your salad?", and his response is "Why are you always nagging me about salad dressing? All I wanted to do was come home and eat and this is what I have to deal with? You know what, I'm leaving...I'll go out and get something!" He storms out the house and you are left standing there with a bottle of ranch in your right hand, Italian in your left and completely confused. If this is the case, you might be dating a cheater.

4. Extremely Protective of Cell Phone

One obvious way to tell if a guy is cheating is if he is abnormally protective over his cell phone. Now I am aware that every one does deserve some type of privacy over their personal belongings and I am not an advocate of sneaking and snooping around in other people's phones. But there are some cases where you can kind of tell he might be hiding something. Let's say that you come into the living room and you are looking for your cell phone to check the time. You can't find your phone so you shout out to your boyfriend asking what time it is. He doesn't hear you because he's listening to music. So you see his phone on the end table and you reach for it to see what time it is.

All of a sudden, he leaps over the sofa and almost tackles you to the ground for his phone. He gets annoyed with you and questions why you want his phone. You tell him you just wanted the time and then he says really smoothly "Ten 'till eight". No one should ever be that protective over a cell phone unless they have something to hide. I can understand why a guy would be upset if his girl was always checking his phone accusing him of cheating. Now that may be a problem for him. But if you aren't that type of girl, and he acts crazy over his phone, then you might have a cheater.

5. Suddenly Nice

If your guy starts being really nice to you for no apparent reason, you might just have a good boyfriend who really adores you and wants to spice up your relationship. But, a lot of times, people who feel guilty tend do make up for that feeling by doing good acts. What is the difference between the guy who feels guilty when cheating and the guy who doesn't? Well the guilty one that is buying you chocolates and flowers knows you are too good for him. You are probably are the perfect girlfriend in his eyes. But I know as well as everyone else that not all women are good partners. Although that is no reason for a man to be dishonest and unfaithful, women must realize that the man is not always the bad guy in every relationship. This is why some guys do not feel bad when they cheat.

With all that being said, you never know for sure when someone is being unfaithful but there are signs that you should be aware of. You just have to know what to look for.
