10 Signs Your Spouse is Cheating 

Infidelity can be a traumatic and difficult experience for anyone to go through. It can cause significant emotional pain, trust issues and can lead to the breakdown of a relationship. While many people are blindsided if and when they find out about a spouse or partner cheating, others may suspect infidelity because of actions that are out of the norm. In this article, we will be discussing the top 10 signs that your spouse may be cheating.

Changes in Communication

• One of the most common signs of infidelity is a breakdown in communication. If you can’t get your spouse to communicate (or even fight) with you, they no longer share their day with you, or the words “I love you” are no longer spoken, there’s likely an underlying issue.
• Another sign of infidelity is stonewalling, which involves refusing to listen to, respond to, or accept what you’re saying. This can include ignoring what you say, changing the subject to avoid an uncomfortable topic, storming off without a word, coming up with reasons why they can’t talk, refusing to answer questions, making accusations rather than talking about the current problem, using dismissive body language such as rolling or closing their eyes, or acting in a passive-aggressive manner (stalling or procrastinating to avoid talking).
• In one piece of research, subjects more accurately determined who was cheating in a relationship based on their lower voice pitch. Thus, researchers concluded that “the human voice can be of value as a cheater detection tool.”

Increased Interest in Appearance

• Another sign that your spouse may be cheating is an increased interest in their appearance. If your spouse or partner has an increased interest in their appearance, this could be a sign of cheating.
• Other appearance-related signs of cheating include dressing nicer than normal, wearing a different style of clothing, or wearing clothing you’ve never seen.

More Time Spent Away From Home

• If your spouse is spending more time away from home, this could be a sign that they are cheating. There are times when other areas of our life take up more of our day, but if time spent elsewhere continues to rise or remains elevated for long periods, this may be one of the first signs of infidelity or that your partner is spending time with someone else.
• Here are a few things to watch for: your spouse picks up a new hobby that requires a few hours of commitment per day, when you ask about their time away, they’re vague about what they’re doing, when you show interest in their new hobby, they brush you off, your mate is working longer and longer hours at work.

Attitude Changes

• Another sign that your spouse may be cheating is attitude changes. Your spouse may experience work stress or problems with other relationships that can lead to changes in attitude, but these changes could also signal infidelity.
• Signs of attitude changes that may indicate infidelity include: 
• your spouse exhibits signs of low self-esteem
• you notice your spouse has a sense of confusion about him or herself 
• your spouse seems to want danger or thrills in their life
• your spouse is more negative than before 
• your spouse becomes more critical of you 
• your spouse seems to be picking fights more often 
• your spouse gets very defensive if you mention infidelity or affairs
• when you ask for reassurance about cheating, you do not feel satisfied with the response.

Lying

• Dishonesty in a marriage is a red flag and can indicate infidelity. This dishonesty can involve lying about cheating itself, or your partner may lie about other things as well.
• Potential signs of cheating related to lying include hiding their phone or computer from you, being evasive or vague when answering questions, making up excuses for their behavior, having an unexpected alibi for certain activities, and being caught in a lie.

Avoidance

• Another sign of infidelity is avoidance and distance. If your spouse is avoiding spending time with you or making plans, refusing to talk about certain topics or people, avoiding physical contact or intimacy with you, and being less interested in spending time with your family or friends, this may indicate that they are cheating.

Accusations of Cheating

• Accusing you of cheating as a way to shift focus away from their own infidelity can also be a sign that your spouse is cheating. This can be a tactic to deflect suspicion and create confusion about who is actually being unfaithful.

Indifference

• Showing less affection or interest in you, being emotionally distant, being less invested in the relationship, and being less responsive to your needs and desires can all indicate that your spouse is cheating. These signs may indicate that your spouse is emotionally detached from the relationship, and that they may be focusing their attention and emotions on someone else.

Changes in Your Sex Life

• A decrease in sexual activity or interest, change in sexual preferences or behaviors, being more secretive about their sexual activities, and less interest in your pleasure during sexual activity can all be signs that your spouse is cheating.

Money Issues

• Unexplained or unaccounted for expenses, secret or hidden bank accounts or credit cards, being more financially secretive, and difficulty managing money can all indicate that your spouse is cheating.

In conclusion, infidelity can be a difficult and painful situation to deal with, but being aware of the signs of cheating can help you to make informed decisions about your relationship. It’s important to keep in mind that these signs may not always indicate infidelity, but if several of them are present, it may be worth considering the possibility. It’s also important to remember that everyone is different, and different people may exhibit different signs of cheating. If you suspect that your spouse is cheating, it’s important to seek professional help if needed, you may consult a private invetigator for infidelity investigation.
