How Do You Know If Your Partner Is Cheating?

Cheating can happen in any relationship, which is why knowing the signs of cheating is vital. This post will cover several signs that may prove your partner is cheating.

Their Appearance Improves

While there is nothing wrong with some self-improvement, your partner suddenly purchasing a gym membership when they’ve expressed no interest previously or dolling themselves up recently could be a sign they are trying to look suitable for a new person.

They Become Unreachable During Certain Periods

If your partner used to answer your phone calls almost always but now doesn’t, this could be a sign that they are cheating. While everyone misses a call or forgets to charge their phone, repeated cases could indicate trouble in paradise.

You See Odd Transactions in Your Bank Statement

If you’re reviewing your bank or credit card statements and noticing that something is off, this could be a sign that your partner is cheating on you. When there is a transaction you don’t understand, confronting your partner about it may be your only option.

They Are More Secretive Online

Having privacy is one thing, but if your partner is suddenly watching their phone like a hawk, deleting their browser history, or spending much more time online, this could be a sign of cheating.

There Is a Change in Sex Drive

If someone is cheating, there is a chance that they become less sexually active in bed. However, with that said, some partners may want to have more frequent sex with you. Either way, if there’s no other reason for this change in sex drive, there may be something else afoot.

Finally, You Have a Good Feeling

Some cheating partners are good at covering their tracks. However, you feel like something is wrong. There may be little evidence to prove it, but you feel something is different. In that case, you should go with your gut and investigate further. 

As Katerina Georgiou, counselor and psychotherapist, says “We talk about cheaters as though it is a fixed personality that defines them, but in my experience it’s usually more complex than this”. 

Final Words

These are some significant signs of cheating. Of course, they can differ from partner to partner, but your best course is to be on the lookout and not let a partner convince you they’re not cheating if you have proof.
