If you suspect that your spouse is infidel to you, how can you tell? Nobody will stalk their spouse everyday to find out if their partners have been faithful! It is a great waste of time and energy! Besides, it will also tarnish the relationship you share with your spouse as you might start to become very paranoid. Thus, the best way is to start by looking for behavioral changes in your spouse which might suggest that you do indeed have a cheating spouse. Below are 7 signs that you need to look out for:

1. Unwillingness to spend time with you
Are you speaking with your spouse as much as you used to? Did you notice any significant changes in the amount of time that your spouse is willing to spend in talking to you each day? Do you still have the same lengthy conversations you used to have together or does he only give you curt, one word answers now?

You might be facing a serious relationship problem if you feel that your spouse is trying to distance himself from you as it is a sign that you might indeed have a cheating spouse.

2. Change in outlook
You should start to be wary if you find your spouse attempting to change the whole wardrobe! When people are in love, they will want to dress well to impress that special someone so if your spouse is buying lots of new clothes, he/she might be seeing someone new.

3. Attempts at losing weight
Has your spouse joined a gym lately because he/she wants to lose weight? Take this sign seriously if your spouse had never before been interested in losing weight as it is likely your partner is trying to impress someone else.

4. Unusual phone call behavior
Another sign of a cheating spouse is behaving unusually when he/she is on the phone. Hanging up the phone, lowering their voice to talk when you are near or even leaving the room totally to answer the call when you are around are suspicious signs to take note of. Also, take note of whether your spouse is increasing usage of personal phone suddenly.

5. Changes in sex style
A partner who suddenly wants to try out new things in the bedroom deserves your full attention! Do you not wonder where they have learnt the new sex styles from? Unless your partner has always been very creative, otherwise be wary as this is a sign that they might be cheating.

6. Reduced interest in sex
If your spouse has been cheating behind your back, he/she may be getting enough sex outside and will find excuses to refrain from any intimacy with you. They may also be very guilty about cheating behind your back and not want to have any passionate moments with you.

7. Easily frustrated
A cheating spouse may also feel stress about keeping up with two relationships and thus get frustrated easily. You might suddenly find your spouse getting upset over trivial things and there might be more quarrels between both of you. Sometimes your spouse might even get so uptight that they leave the room to be away from you for a while. In fact, the frustration might not be just directed at you but at other family members as well.

The above 7 tips are behavioral signs that you should watch out for in a cheating spouse. However, you should also take note of the behavioral of your mutual friends as sometimes your friends are aware of things happening behind your back but do not want to tell you for fear of hurting you so you might notice changes in their attitudes towards you. They may either hint at you about a cheating spouse or they might even tell you directly to be more wary of your spouse’s behavioral outside.

Nevertheless, never jump the gun before you confirm your suspicions. You could either do some investigations on your own or you could hire a private investigator if you can afford it. You can start by monitoring your spouse’s phone calls, check on his/her internet usage or view the phone bill. Never ever confront your husband or wife without any solid proof or you will create a new set of problems in your relationship. No one wants to be accused of being a cheating spouse so take the above signs as indicators only, not facts.
