Signs that Your Lover or Spouse is Cheating on You

Dawn Fuller
Cheating spouses/partners has become more of an occurrence in today's society. If you think your partner is cheating, then most likely they are. There are signs that will determine if your lover is cheating on you.

One sign that may begin accruing is that your spouse or partner will start becoming more attentive to your needs. They may have been lacking in this before and then all of a sudden starting doting on you and showering you with affection. The reason they display this behavior is because of the guilt they are feeling since they are doing the cheating. This is usually a sign that starts at the beginning of an affair and will diminish as the affair continues.

If your partner or lover begins showering you with gifts, when before they didn't, this could be another sign they are having an affair. Again they do this because they are feeling guilty. Showering you with gifts will make the cheating party feel better and helps them alleviate some of the guilt they are feeling.

Another determination for women is the old faithful women's intuition. If your lover's actions are causing a gut feeling in your stomach telling you something isn't right, then it's probably not. Pay attention to your instincts and don't ignore them. Ignoring them is only blinding you to the truth of what is going on. You know your lover's habits and routines better than anyone, so be suspicious when these things change.

A possible sign to that your mate is cheating is that they will often pick fights with you. By doing this, it gives your lover a reason to storm off and gives them the opportunity to meet their lover. They may also pick these fights with you because they are experiencing a lot of mixed emotions about betraying you.

When you fight your lover may constantly talk about your relationship ending. They will say things like "What would you do if I ended this relationship?" of "if we ended we could still remain friends." Your lover may also start becoming negative about your relationship with each other. They will make these statements and become negative with the relationship because they know they have someone else to fall back on in case your relationship ends. If they continue to repeat these statements or look negatively at you and your relationship, be suspicious.

You may find that your partner is becoming moody. You will find that when they leave you they are very upbeat and happy. When they return back to you, they seem somber and depressed. This may be another sign your lover is cheating.

One final sign of a cheating mate is the lack of communication. Before the affair your lover would talk to you about things happening at work, or things they were feeling. They no longer share their feelings and become cold towards you and inconsiderate of your feelings. It's more like you both have become roommates instead of lovers.

If your partner or spouse shows some of these signs of cheating, then more than likely they are. The best thing to do is confront your partner about it and try and talk it over. Find out why the affair happened and then decide, yourself, if the relationship can be saved. Take time apart to find out what went wrong. It has been my experience that once a cheat, always a cheat, and it's just best to get out of the relationship.
