Signs that your partner is cheating

‘Women lie, men lie, Women lie, men lie, the numbers don’t lie’ a song by US rapper Yo Gotti comes into mind whenever there’s talk about cheating.

It has been proven that everyone is capable of cheating but the debate around ‘who does it better’ and ‘who does it the best’ still continues.

South African author Lunga Ntuli has suggested in his latest offering that women are better at cheating because no one expects them to, which makes sense.

But how do you prove that your partner is actually cheating on you? Considering that a lot of people are so good at concealing the truth?

Well, as usual, we are here to assist you. With the help of UK based Daily Mail, we have come up with ways to help prove that your special somebody is or could be cheating on you.

 

Absent minded:

Although your significant other is physically there with you, he or she does not seem present at all.

However, we are not suggesting that everyone who seems absent minded is cheating. He or she could just be, you know losing his/her mind or maybe even just stressed.

 

Keeps accusing you of cheating:

In order to cover him/herself better, your partner keeps accusing you of cheating.

This is one of the main signs of cheating and according to experts “attack is a cheater’s best form of defense”.

 

In defense,  when you ask why they think so, their reasons do not really make sense.

 

Short tempered:

He has always been sweet, bought you flowers every now and again but recently he is snappy and always angry at something.

 

Its mainly because he is feeling guilty for what he is doing. So yes this is when you need to get your binoculars out.

 

Intuition:

Although you would not be able to confirm it, if your intuition continuously tells you he is cheating, he probably is.

Intuition is described as “a natural ability or power that makes it possible to know something without any proof or evidence” and experts believe it is hardly wrong.

 

“Your intuition doesn’t have an agenda. It doesn’t want you to hold onto this man at all costs. It just tells you the truth that it picks up from a thousand subtle clues,” said the Love Coach TJ Gibbs.

 

Loses track of details:

"I was talking to my wife about a movie we saw and laughing about one of the scenes. She wasn't laughing. I asked, 'What? Don't you remember?' She then informed me that we hadn't seen it together,” said one of the 50 cheating men interviewed by Yourtango.com.

 

All of a sudden he/she is overly happy:

According to relationship experts and psychologists, cheating can make your partner overly happy in your relationship.

 

He/she starts allowing you to do things he would normally never allow like letting you go out clubbing without him, taking you out to expensive restaurants, not fighting over the remote among other things.

 

Your partner stops inviting you to business/work events:

It means there is someone else he/she would rather take.

 

Or maybe that there is someone new at work whom he/she wants to be with at that particular event.

 

Does not hide his phone:

Men are aware that their partners are always checking their phones, therefore he will not leave any incriminating information in his phone.

In fact, he will even leave his phone there for you to go through.

This is one of the signs, especially if he never used to do this before. Most of the time, he has another simcard/number for his side dishes.
