Warning Signs He is Cheating

From a Guys Perspective

Josh Mason
There is no faster way to end any relationship than by cheating on your partner. It betrays trust and brings feelings of insecurity to the partner that was cheated on. We will present the warning signs of if your boyfriend or husband is cheating in this article. However, keep in mind that unless you know for sure that he is cheating, confronting him with false allocations on a regular basis could damage your relationship if he is in fact faithful.

Doesn't Seem Satisfied

Guys cheat for many reasons, but the primary ones are sex and loss of connection within the relationship. He may start to seem distant in the relationship and disconnected. He will stop talking to you about his problems, or listening to yours and will make excuses to do anything else besides being with you. The reason for him cheating is that he wants the same type of connection that made the relationship flourish in the beginning. These feelings will have occurred for quite some time before he actually cheated, with cheating being an "easy way" out of the relationship for him.

Act Suspicious

Is he acting suspicious when it comes to his emails, chat logs, constant late work hours or whereabouts at odd times? It is difficult to hide the fact that you are cheating for an extended time because in order to sneak around, guys must make excuses to make time for their mistress. Because a lot of flirting and dating happens through instant messages, video chat and other online methods, he may try to hide what he is doing on the computer when you are around. This will be obvious by the way; he closes out of programs or shuts down the computer quickly as soon as you approach him.

Doesn't Want Sex

If a guy is cheating because of sex it is probably because he is not satisfied with it at home. Cheating partners that are looking for sex will not have the same sex drive with their partner as they did in the beginning of the relationship because they are being satisfied elsewhere. However, talk to him if he refuses sex or makes excuses why he does not want it, it may be a different problem other than cheating.

Frequent Grooming

Guys like to dress to impress, which includes shaving, putting on cologne and wearing nice clothing. However, when we are comfortable in relationships, we often get lazy and grow out our beards, wear the same college sweatshirt for two weeks straight and have the do not care attitude. If he starts to take better care of himself unexpectedly, it could mean he is trying to impress someone else.

Perfume

The most obvious and common way to tell if a guy is cheating on you is by his smell. Does he smell like perfume every time he comes home from working late? Although this is an obvious warning sign, he may play it off and lie to avoid confrontation. Be persistent when you ask him about it, he did not get perfume around his neck from working four more hours today.
