Detecting Infidelity: Checking for Signs That Your Spouse Is Cheating on You

,

Infidelity! It all starts as a nagging feeling at the back of your head. At first you tell yourself that it’s nothing; it’s just you being overly paranoid. But then the feeling gets stronger and stronger until the time comes when you can no longer deny it or put it aside: you think your spouse might be having an affair.

We’d all like to think our partners are loyal to us, but if there’s one thing that is true in life, it’s that no one is perfect and even the nicest people can have skeletons hiding in their closet. Infidelity is a much more common social problem than we’d like to admit, and it is indeed one of the most challenging problems one can ever face in a relationship.

If you’re in a relationship and you’re having these nagging feelings yourself, it’s never a bad idea to pay attention to those hunches. What might start out as a gut feeling often ends up being justified when the truth comes to light and everything is finally out in the open. We’d like to help you out by telling you about the crucial telltale signs that can clue you in to the possibility that your spouse might be cheating on you. 

Signs Your Spouse Is Cheating on You

 Behavior changes, odd actions, and strange occurrences are often signs that can indicate that something is off. That said, it’s crucial to note that you shouldn’t just go off on your spouse just because he or she exits the room to take a call. Simply stepping outside to talk on the phone might not be enough reason to think your husband or wife is cheating on you. There’d have to be more definitive proof than that. 

If all or several of the following incidents have been regularly happening in your relationship, it might be time to start thinking about hiring a private detective to investigate your spouse infidelity:

Your sex life changes for the worse.

    • There is less physical intimacy in your relationship, and you and your partner barely have sex anymore.

    • If you do still engage in sex, you find them doing things that they never did before. 

    • You suddenly get diagnosed with an STD, and you have not slept with other people.

Your partner suddenly exhibits an unexplainable change in habits.

    • Your partner suddenly stops sharing devices with you.

    • He or she reduces their presence on social media, but you still notice them using their phone to chat and send messages all the time.

    • Your spouse has suddenly made it a habit to clear the browser history on your shared computer.

With all these things said, you should remember that these are not absolute indications of your spouse’s infidelity. Ultimately, it’s still better to have valid and conclusive proof before you go and confront your spouse. 

Short of hiring a private detective to investigate your spouse, the next best thing you can do is to invest in a GPS tracker and to discreetly install it in your spouse’s bag or briefcase. Such a device can help you in tracking the whereabouts of your partner in real time, with regular location updates all the time. Monitoring them wherever they go can help you determine your spouse’s infidelity and if they are really up to no good.
