Signs of a cheating spouse

There are many signs of a cheating spouse. The number one sign is your spouse's attitude. If your intuition tells you something is going on, listen to it.

In today's busy world, people are often divided into different tasks and roles. Sometimes these tasks and roles overlap, and multitasking becomes a necessity. Schedules are hard to adhere to and they change at a moments notice. An unstable environment is fertile ground for a cheating spouse. It creates so many roles to hide the one of an adulterer. It leaves sudden schedule changes to go unnoticed. With so much going on simultaneously, what are the signs of a cheating spouse?

Sometimes a sudden change in a person's image may be a sign of an affair. There are legitimate reasons behind an image change. One may have a new job, a promotion, a major birthday or weight fluctuation. These incidents warrant a new wardrobe or hairstyle. Even a new circle of friends can influence a person's look. But if none of these factors exist, then a new lover may be the catalyst for a spouse's new look. This is especially true if your spouse does not seek your approval or recognition of their new look.

Sudden interest in working out may be adultery related. It may not only be a desire to look good, but it may be where they meet their lover. Offer to accommodate your spouse to the gym and watch for their reaction. If they insist on going alone, then they are more than likely meeting someone there. Some people like to run or jog. If they choose to jog alone, they may be meeting a lover on the jogging path.



Cell phones are the easiest and fastest way to contact someone. Most people leave their phone on continuously minus during business meetings and certain places like church or the theatre. If your spouses cell phone begins to go directly to voicemail more often, chances are they are cheating. It is possible that their lover is unaware of their marital status, and in order to continue the façade, the adulterer wants to avoid any calls from the spouse. Excuses such as " the meeting ran long", "the cell phone battery died" or they "forgot" to turn it on will likely surface as to why the cell phone was off.

The cell phone is a cheaters best friend. If your spouse seems preoccupied with constantly checking their voicemail, it's probably their lover that they are looking for a message from. Ask for the pass code to the cell, just to gauge their response. A guilty party won't want to share that information. If there are numbers in the cell phone that have been set to "secret", this is indicative of a lover that the cheating spouse does not want exposed or accessed.

Computers provide plenty of opportunity for spouses to cheat. Preoccupation with email may be a sign of cheating. Your spouse may be sharing instant messages with their lover. If this is true you will notice them abruptly closing small windows on their computer screen when you enter the room. This is surely a sign of guilt. Another sign of guilt is sneaking onto the computer when the spouse is asleep. Many spouses have Internet affairs and feel that it is not being unfaithful. If one checks their Internet browser's history folder and find dating sites or sexually related chat rooms, your spouse is having a cyber affair.

Car seats are a tell tale sign of a cheater. If the passenger seat is adjusted (males tend to adjust their seat when they enter a car) your spouse may be picking up more than dry cleaning on Saturday afternoon.

There are hundreds of signs of a cheating spouse. The number one sign is your spouse's attitude. If your intuition tells you something is going on, listen to it. You are more than likely correct. Document everything and call a lawyer or marital counselor, quick!
