Typical Signs of a Cheating Spouse

There are times in which we wonder if the oddities that begin occurring in a relationship really are due to some changes in lifestyle including work, family life, or other circumstances. Sometimes it is hard to tell if these "new changes" are really changes for the greater good of the relationship or family, or if it is due to one party in the relationship exploring other fish in the sea.

To help those of you who think your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, or any other person in which you share an intimate bond with, here are some typical signs to look for which are common things that we call "red flags".

By far the first and biggest red flag is the fact that you are asking yourself the question of "are they cheating". Now that you are already on that train of thought let us see if there are other "problem areas" to justify your worries.

1. If friends that you consider "mutual friends" between the two of you start to well just not really converse with you as much or you can sense a real feeling of awkwardness, then they may know something that is not being shared with you for a reason.
2. The classic mistake of a cheater is not thinking about the scents they pick up. We always know what soap the use and typical cologne they wear, so when a different scent follows them home it is time to ask a few questions.
3. The wedding band is not on for some reason. " Despite the excuse unless they work a lot with machinery, this is a definitely huge red flag.
4. Well, not that you are suspicious you are most likely checking the cell phone. One item to look for here is to check if the texts and emails have been cleaned out. We all know we don't want the phone cluttered but how many of us really remember to delete everything very often, so I would suggest checking a few random times.
5. Your spouse takes out on a simple venture such as grocery store, pick up something from work, or other simply task and is gone for a lengthy period of time.
6. Finally there is typical overcompensation of being "helpful". Often when someone is cheating, they will seek penance by being extra helpful around the home or extra nice to you. This is something that could be completely genuine but watch the pattern of when it happens.

These are only a few of the many "red flags" that can confirm or deny cheating in a relationship. They are here to get you off on the right start, but the biggest step is simply this. You have to get past the "it could never happen to be idea", because if you don't the signs will never mean anything or you will never notice them.
