Think Your Partner is Cheating? Here’s How to Find Out…
Pages: 1 2
Do you have a feeling in your gut thatâs something wrong in your relationship? That maybe, just maybe, your partnerâs being unfaithful? If you do, then you have a decision to make and several options to choose from.
The Options
First, think about how sure you are of their infidelity. If you arenât sure at all then option one, confronting them right now, without wasting any time, is completely out of the question. Doing so could ruin the relationship because itâd highlight, rightly or wrongly, that you donât trust your partner.
The second option: ignore your suspicions, assume theyâre unfounded and that they always will be, that nothingâs going on, and continue as normal.
This optionâs one many people take, either to avoid being confronted with an ugly truth, that their loverâs doing some extra âlovingâ behind their backs, or because they fear theyâre being unfair to their partners by being suspicious of them and doubtful of their devotedness.
Third option: do something to help eradicate your suspicions. Find out either way whatâs going on, if your partnerâs cheating on you or if theyâre being faithful.
Learning the Truth
Okay, letâs assume option three is the one for you. You want to find out the truth and donât want to simply ignore your gut instinct and continue on as normal. What methods of investigation, ways of discovering the facts, are there at your disposal?
1. The simplest way (often considered the first step), and something you might have already begun doing, is looking for obvious signs of potential betrayal. Your partner smells of a fragrance, perfume or after-shave you donât recognize.
Theyâve been leaving the house for work half an hour earlier than theyâve ever done before, for no apparent reason. They donât seem to enjoy sex with you as they used to, or choose to avoid it completely whenever they can.
Keep an eye out for these surface signs of potential infidelity. In a way, looking for them and recording them in your mind or on paper can be considered harmless, itâs free information there to be noticedâŚif only youâll look.
2. After the obvious potential signs of cheating dry up, or when you feel youâre at a dead end looking for and analyzing them, more forthright, headstrong action may be called for. Some people, at this point, reach straight for the Yellow Pages, thumbing right to the private investigator section.
Thatâs one option, sure, but there are things you can do yourself before calling in a third party. First, you could try setting a trap. It may sound a little primeval, like catching a wild animal, but really itâs more like a test.
