Relationships aren’t always as beautiful as they seem in a movie or a romantic novel. Reality is harder than it seems, while some people chose to stay committed to their partners throughout their life, some chose to go behind their back and stab them. Well, not literally but that’s how cheating feels like. During a long relationship, there are some people who just can’t help but look for happiness in other people rather than finding it with their girlfriend/boyfriend or spouse.
Now, we humans blinded by love tend to believe whatever feels good to our heart but deep down we know that something is not right. That’s what is called as the sixth sense, somehow when a person starts to cheat in a relationship, the other partner begins to suspect but the question remains – How to know if your partner is cheating on you or not? You can’t be sure just because you have suddenly started to get that feeling. You might be reading into things but you can’t possibly take those chances, can you?
So here are some signs you can be sure if your partner is cheating on you or not.
1. A Change In Desire For Intimacy.
If your partner is suddenly started showering love on you then there are chances it is because of guilt. However, in some cases, the need for intimacy may decrease as they start to get it from somewhere else. If you notice any of these two, you should be alarmed.
2. Increase In Fights.
Some people have a tendency to rub their mistakes on others face. Such people do not know how to deal with guilt, so they start fighting with their partners and start blaming them for everything. If fights between you two are getting too frequent, there might be a possibility that your partner is cheating on you.
3. A Change In Routine.
If your partner is staying late in the office or leave early or is doing overtime etc. even when he/she has never done it before, it might be because they need extra time to fuel their parallel relationship. You need to get to bottom of this to find out what is the actual reason behind the sudden change.
4. A Whole New Vocabulary.
People tend to pick up the habits and vocabulary of people who they spend time with. So if you are listening to some new words that are unknown to you or he/she has developed a taste for new activities, you might want to know where is this all coming from or worse who is this coming from.
5. Less Communication.
Earlier you both use to talk over the phone frequently but over the time that has been reduced to some necessary calls only. You need to check if there is a problem between you two or your partner is sharing your time with someone another.
6. Secretive Behaviour.
Does your partner suddenly start to feel protective of his/her cell phone? Well, this one is the most common sign. There can’t be any possible explanation to that if they haven’t been always like this. You really need to worry where your relationship is headed.
7. Being Lost.
Earlier your partner was fun and had an answer to everything but now he/she seems lost all the time. This can’t happen without reason. Chances are that he/she already has two people to deal with and his/her head is filled with all the lies and cover-up talks. A mind full of that always stays overstressed.
All these signs indicate that your partner is cheating on you. However, we strongly recommend that you two have a talk about it and clear the air. Maybe he/she is not guilty and love is not worth losing over few suspicions.
