How to know when your husband is cheating
Contents:
If he's avoiding being alone with you, it's a sure sign something's wrong with your relationship, and he knows that something's wrong. Advertisement Was this step helpful? Yes No I need help 2 He stops initiating casual touch with you. Couples in a healthy relationship often share little touches, such as a casual bump when passing in the hallway, or a gentle caress.
These brief displays of intimacy may not seem like much, but if they stop, it's a sure sign that his mind is on something or someone other than you. Yes No I need help 3 He stops buying you flowers or doing other special things for you. Men learn at a very early age to do special things for the women they love. Whether it's flowers for mom or a box of chocolates for his wife, he knows that these things are important to a woman. If you notice that he hasn't recently shown you any special signs of affection, it could be an indication that he's giving that affection to another woman.
Was this step helpful? Yes No I need help 4 He doesn't look you in the eye anymore, especially when being intimate. It's hard to lie, especially when looking someone in the eye. When it comes to looking at someone we love in the eye and telling them a lie, it becomes almost impossible. Because of this, a cheating husband will not usually be able to look you in the eye when you're being intimate because he knows it's a lie.
Yes No I need help 5 The emotional quality of your relationship has changed. If your husband starts caring less about you, or your marriage, and worrying a lot more about himself, it could be a sign that he's cheating on you. A faithful husband will be focused on your future together, while a cheating husband will be more worried about his future, without you.
Yes No I need help 25 You stop seeing or hearing from his family as much as you used to. Let him see how upset the idea of him being unfaithful makes you. Click EDIT to write this answer. During these times of economic stress, most workplaces are demanding more and more from their employees. Yes No I need help 31 He starts attending office parties and social events he used to avoid.
Yes No I need help 6 He starts keeping secrets, and not telling you little things he used to share. When your husband stops sharing little things with you, like stories from the office, or a challenge he might have overcome, it's a bad sign. Men aren't usually the most talkative creatures, but they have an instinctive need to show off accomplishments and successes to their wives.
If he stops showing you, he's either going through a major crisis, or showing another woman. Yes No I need help 7 He's always traveling, and you're never traveling with him. Some jobs require travel, however, they don't require always being alone. Your husband can plan a long weekend or special occasion with you when he's traveling.
The only reason for him not to at least occasionally do this is because he doesn't want to spend time with you. If he isn't spending time with you, then who is he spending it with? Yes No I need help 8 He is working much more, and spending less time at home. Much like the man who travels constantly, the man who is always at work usually has other reasons for being away so often.
Unless he's a lawyer working his way up through the firm, or a doctor earning degrees and establishing a practice, he either doesn't want to spend time with you, or he's spending it with someone else. Either way, this is a sure sign of trouble. Yes No I need help 9 What used to be 'we' time is becoming 'me' time. Happy couples like to spend time together. They take walks, go to the movies, and even play games. Sometimes, they just sit next to one another, while one reads a book and the other watches TV.
It's about being together, and if your husband doesn't want to be together anymore, his actions will show you. Time he would have spent in bed next to you will turn into time alone in another room, which is a sure indication that something's up. Yes No I need help 10 His sexual appetites and desires have changed. Physical intimacy is a cornerstone of marriage.
Women learn how their partner behaves, especially his 'moves' in the bedroom. If your husband starts to shut you out, or worse, randomly starts breaking out new moves in the bedroom, you'll want to check and see if he's started reading women's magazines, or is taking lessons from another woman. Yes No I need help 11 He deletes text messages from his phone. Most people don't delete their text messages, because it usually takes more effort than reading them. If he starts deleting his text messages, chances are that you have a cheating husband on your hands, or one preparing to cheat.
Yes No I need help 12 He makes and receives phone calls in private. This is another big red flag. Only a man who doesn't want you to hear what he's talking about takes or makes calls in private. Usually, the only time your husband doesn't want you to hear what he's talking about is when he's cheating, or talking about you. Yes No I need help 13 He gets a second number.
Most wives won't even notice this, but if your husband gets a nice new phone, you might check to see if it has two SIM cards. If so, what does he need a second number for, and why hasn't he shared that number with you? This is a sure sign that he's keeping some pretty serious secrets - one of which is probably an another woman.
Yes No I need help 14 He has more than one personal email address. Almost everyone old enough to be married has transitioned through several email accounts, ultimately deleting most of them in favor of one or two. If your husband is working full time, and keeping multiple personal email accounts, the only reason for him to have the stress of managing multiple accounts is to cheat, or to keep the door open for and old flame to rekindle the fires of desire.
This is just like the email account problem discussed above. If he's going to the trouble of keeping many different accounts, it's almost certainly because he's either already cheating, or planning to cheat in the future. Instant Messages are the new email, and because they're more private than regular SMS and Text messages, it's fairly easy for your husband to cheat on you without your knowledge. While you shouldn't expect to read his messages on his phone any more than he should expect you to read them and give a summary of the important ones, there's nothing wrong with glancing at his screen from time to time.
If he's hiding it, chances are he's hiding more than just a message. Yes No I need help 17 His body or clothes smell differently than they used to. Too many women overlook this basic element of their husbands. Every man has his own smell. It's a combination of what he eats, where he sleeps, the soaps and colognes he uses, and the woman he sleeps with. If the smell of his body changes, it's time to see if he's been having curry for lunch, or an affair with another woman for dessert.
Yes No I need help 18 He doesn't participate in group gatherings of family and friends. However much we like or dislike our relatives, spending time with them is part of being married. So is spending time with friends. If your husband stops spending time with friends and family, especially in group settings, it's a sure sign that something's wrong. Maybe he's planning to leave, or maybe he is cheating on you and doesn't want his other woman to see you together. Yes No I need help 19 He is spending a significant amount of time with someone else.
This one is pretty obvious, but many women overlook it in the interests of being 'modern'. Just as it's OK for a married woman to have male friends, it's also OK for her husband to have female friends. The thing that's not OK is when he's taking your time and spending it with her. If you notice that he's doing this, it could be a sign that your husband is cheating.
Reel him in before it's too late. Yes No I need help 20 He spends a lot of time helping someone else, or gives gifts to them. This one is tough, because some men are genuinely sweet, and naturally giving. They will help out anyone. Unfortunately, some women are not so sweet, and may abuse your husband's trust, or worse, turn it into an affair. Likewise, he might also be spending more time with another woman because he prefers her company to yours. Either way, it's a recipe for infidelity, and best nipped in the bud.
They come home later
Yes No I need help 21 He stretches short trips out of the house into long trips. Have his 30 minute walks in the park or short trips to the store turned into hours-long excursions? There can be a number of reasons for this, but they all usually involve him preferring to spend his time elsewhere. In the case of a store, maybe there's a cute young cashier or other relatively unattached girl he's chatting with at the coffee shop, or maybe his dog walks include the understanding company of an otherwise unoccupied college girl.
Whatever his reasons, none of them are good, and all point to a cheating husband. Yes No I need help 22 He starts arguments out of nothing, and then leaves the house. This one seems so obvious, yet many women miss it due to being so distraught over an argument they can't understand. This is because it hits them from out of nowhere, and then they sit home wondering what they did wrong to make their husbands leave. This I sad, because a husband who starts a fight over nothing and then leaves the house is either looking for an excuse to leave the house, or not expressing his true frustrations.
Both are signs of deeper problems, often involving infidelity. Yes No I need help 23 He is extremely angry and frustrated, seemingly without cause. Men can be angry over life events and circumstances. It's also quite normal for him to be frustrated with things that are beyond his control, such as economic hardships, accidents, or work difficulties. What's not normal is for your husband to be angry and frustrated over nothing. If this is the case, the 'nothing' might just be a woman you aren't aware of, that he's been cheating with, but unable to express his guilt over.
Yes No I need help 24 He is defensive about everything, almost as if he is anticipating conflict. Few people like conflict, especially in the home. Your husband is no different, so if he's defensive about everything, and always prepared for conflict, you need to dig a little deeper.
A man behaving like this is often doing so because he knows something's wrong. He knows something's wrong, because he's having an affair. Yes No I need help 25 You stop seeing or hearing from his family as much as you used to. Momma's don't betray their babies, and many men tend to live by the bro code, where they stick together no matter what.
If you're seeing signs that he might be telling his mother or family about an impending separation, or you've noticed that his friends aren't so friendly towards you anymore, it's a problem. In fact, this problem almost always involves another woman, and is a serious sign of trouble. Yes No I need help 26 He begins dressing differently. Men don't often change their styles. If he likes jeans and a polo shirt, that's likely going to be his style forever.
So, if you notice that he's traded in his jeans for a pair of dockers, or his usually conservative polo shirt for a printed t-shirt with a rock band logo on it, you might have a cheating husband on your hands. Men only change the way they dress when it serves a purpose, which in this case is pleasing another woman. Yes No I need help 27 He starts caring more about how he looks.
Grooming and hygiene patterns change. If your man used to be OK with slightly messed up hair, or half of a shave, and he's now carefully grooming himself, it's obviously not to impress you. In fact, one of the most obvious signs your husband is cheating on you is when he starts improving his personal hygiene and grooming habits. Don't ignore this, as it's an indication of a husband looking to please or impress another woman.
Yes No I need help 28 His overall appearance has changed. This one is harder to spot, but it bears mention because it's usually a sign of problems that lead to an affair, rather than the actual affair. Sometimes, when your husband isn't happy, he'll start making little changes, and the shift from outgoing to conservative, or conservative to outgoing, is one of them. If you see this, talk to him, before he gets tangled up in an affair that could destroy your marriage. Yes No I need help 29 His tastes in music change.
Not that many wives notice this one, because many times their husbands can have some strange tastes in music. However, if your classic rock loving husband starts listening to Tecno, there's a reason. Sometimes it is just be because he likes it, but more often, it's because the woman he's cheating on you with likes that style of music. He either wants to make her happy, or is pleasantly reminded of her while jamming out to the latest step.
Yes No I need help 30 He starts visiting art exhibits or enjoying trips to museums. This one might seem a little funny at first, until you learn about the young art student your husband has taken an interest in, or the history major who has enchanted him with welcoming smiles and tales of ancient Rome. If he starts finding interest in things he previously had no interest in, it's a sure sign that another woman has his interest. Take note, and steer him away from infidelity. Yes No I need help 31 He starts attending office parties and social events he used to avoid.
Everyone knows the jokes about office parties, and let's be honest, they're usually pretty true. So, when your husband suddenly starts attending them, it probably has something to do with the new girl in the office. If you aren't invited, it almost certainly has something to do with her. This is a sure sign of trouble in your relationship. Yes No I need help 32 The level of attention he gives you drastically changes. If your normally passionless man suddenly becomes a charming powerhouse of passion, enjoy it, but pay very close attention to him.
Likewise, if your man of endless passion suddenly turns cold, take that as a warning sign too. He's likely either giddy with joy in another woman's arms, or he's gone cold because she's taking all that heat and keeping it for herself. Yes No I need help 33 He suddenly develops an interest in a new language. This isn't usually something that younger wives need to worry about.
It's more often reserved for those who have been married a few years. In these instances, a cheating husband might discuss a desire to visit France, for example. This naturally leads to French lessons, which his wife mistakes as being an indication of a planned trip to another country.
How to Catch a Cheating Spouse
She never sees the affair his 'language' lessons are hiding. While new languages are great, be careful your husband isn't more than just new words in his mouth. My husband had an ex 8 months ago but the girl still sends him messages and calls him. So is there a possibility that they still meet and are dating?? There are several factors at play here that can affect this answer. For one thing, he might still have feelings for her, such as feeling sorry for her but not acting on them. The second possibility is that they do meet, but it is not because he has romantic intentions towards her.
The fourth possibility is that they are seeing each other but he does not have the heart to tell you. Yes No I need help As honesty is the best policy in a love relationship your best approach here is to just simply ask him if he is committed to a future with you and if so, will she be part of it? If you are suspicious now, it is the time to draw boundaries and state clearly what it is about his ex contacting him that bothers you. If he does not want to allay your fears or refuses to have the conversation or accuses you of not trusting him then it might be time to leave the relationship.
On the other hand, if he tells you it is nothing you might prefer to take him at his word rather than create an atmosphere of mistrust. Yes No I need help See more questions like this: My sister's husband was working abroad and now a women wrote her that he had an affair with her and he denied?

Last year I found out about his 8 years affair with a woman who is 17 younger than him. I also got hold of his cellphone records. During the 8 years, he sent texts and called her every day. Last Valentines Day I asked him to make up to me by buying me a card. He ignored me almost completely. Again on our wedding anniversary, I asked him to do something special for us, but again he just kind of not interested in my request.
This got me very upset and we ended fighting on our anniversary. I suggested we go to see a marriage counselor but he refused to say that we just move forward.

Yes No I need help My husband is out on a vacation with my daughter for six weeks. Should I trust him? Should I trust my husband. He is on vacation to see his family he hasn't seen in 9 years. He has a lot of friends and always going out. I don't know what he is doing there. Should I stop thinking negative?. Notice what he says. Several things that your man can say may indicate that he is cheating on you.
Here are some things to look out for: If he used to complement you all the time, but never complements you anymore, it may be because he is thinking of someone else. If he wasn't much of a sweet talker before, but is always suddenly complementing you, he may be doing it to compensate for being with someone else. If he just sounds different, using words you've never heard before, laughing in a new way, or just phrasing his words differently, he may have picked this up from another lady. Of course, you should consider other factors: You should also look out to see if he is suddenly obsessed with his diet.
This could also indicate that he is paying a lot of attention to his body for another woman. See if he smells different. This is a big red flag. If your man smells different suddenly, it may be because his body chemistry has changed from being with another woman.
Notice his body language. Your husband's body language can also say a lot about whether he is cheating on you. Even if he says the right things, his body could betray him. Here are some signs that something has changed for him: Note the amount of eye contact he gives you. If you used to always look into your eyes when you spoke but now always looks away, he may be doing it out of guilt.
Here are some warning signs that your spouse could be cheating on you. Remember that communication is key!. When your husband suddenly has a change in his privacy attitude — all of a sudden you're not supposed to know his whereabouts or who he's.
Note a lack of affection. If he used to kiss you, hug you, put his arm around you, and let you know how much he cared through his touches but never touches you any more, then something may be up. See if he turns away from you when you are talking. If he crosses his arms, turns away from you, and does not face you with his body, then he may be retreating because he is uncomfortable. Notice if he shows you affection when you are alone, but not when you go out. If he is all over you when you are home but he is distant the second you step out the door, it may be because he is afraid his mistress will catch him with another woman.
Look through his things. Though looking through your husband's things is a quick way to break his trust, if you are sure he is cheating and want concrete evidence, you can try this maneuver. If you really want to know if he's cheating, here are some places to look: If he's savvy, you won't be able to find evidence of him cheating on your phone.
But if he's not, you can look for an exchange with a woman you've never heard of. He may even not have plugged his mistress' number in his phone -- look for texts and calls to unidentified numbers. If you really want to know if he is cheating, check out his email or Facebook messages. You can wait for him to step away from his computer when he is logged into email. If he also has started meticulously deleting his emails, that can be a sign that he is hiding something from you.
Search through his stuff. Go through his suitcase, desk, wallet, or even the pockets of his pants for clues. Check his bank statements. Look out for any time he has spent large sums of money at a restaurant you have never heard of. Check out the dates and think about where he said he was; if he said he was working late one night but spent a lot of money on a fancy dinner right then, which is a reason to worry.
If you are afraid to ask if he is cheating or have not found enough evidence, you can try following him to see where he really goes. Again, this is another way to lose his trust very quickly. Here are some ways to pull this off: Don't follow him in your own car. Borrow a friend's car so he does not notice that you are behind him. Keep a safe distance. Whether you are on foot or in a vehicle, don't get too close, or he'll spot you. Check in on him when he is not expecting it. If he says he's working overtime or watching the game at a friend's house, "drop in" unexpectedly and see if he's really there.
Just make sure you have a good excuse for why you just showed up. Ask if he is cheating. After you have seen enough signs that he is not being faithful, it will be time to talk to your husband about it. Though the conversation will be painful, it's better not to delay it if you really want to have the truth. Here's how you can find a way to ask your husband if he's being unfaithful: Ask him when he's not expecting it. As long as you are in a private place, you can have the conversation.
Don't tell him you want to have a big talk, or he may know exactly what you have in mind and will already be prepared to make excuses. Tell him that you want the truth. Remind him that he is not doing you any favors by being dishonest. Show him that he is really hurting you.
Let him see how upset the idea of him being unfaithful makes you. Am I wrong to go back to my cheating husband because he's my son's father?
