There are few things more painful than the knowledge that the person who you are in love with is unfaithful. This is why some people choose to live in oblivion rather than face the painful truth that their partner is cheating on them and having to end the relationship.

Many breakups are a result of infidelity. It is never the same after confirming that your partner has cheated on you.

Here are a few signs through which you will know your partner is cheating on you.

1. They are Jealous and Anxious

Does your partner get anxious and jealous easily? If yes, it could be a sign they will cheat on you. Although some people become jealous for fear of losing their partners, there is a probability that they might be insecure when you are around other people.

If you have been in a relationship for a while and you have noticed an increase in jealousy, it’s high time you investigate whether he is cheating.

2. They are Hiding Things on Their Phone

When someone is about to cheat or is already cheating, a phone or an iPad is one of the platforms for communication. If their phone rings or they receive a message and you notice they have panicked, something is off.

If it was not a problem to check their emails before, but now they don’t want you near their phone, there is something wrong. Watch out if your partner is becoming more private with their gadgets or is deleting messages more than before. After all, in a transparent relationship, there is no need to clear calls and browsing history!

3. Unexplainable expenses.

Infidelity is expensive. From drinks to gifts to dinners to hotel rooms, the cost is too much. Check out for unexplained withdrawals from your or your partner’s account.

Ask for an explanation to verify if the withdrawals were necessary. If you think they are lying, try to investigate why the money was withdrawn before concluding.

4. Lack of Intimacy

When did you and your partner go out for dinner or to have fun? If it has been quite a while and you were the kind to roll around the hay, then he is pulling back. If there is nothing you are aware of that is causing the distance between the both of you, something is wrong.

When someone is cheating, they don’t need anything from their partner because they will be catered for elsewhere. They could also be more caring and loving trying to hide their guilt from their partner.

5. They are Untraceable

If you are in a relationship for some time, it’s likely you know each other’s schedule. If your partner is not where they are supposed to be, ask why. When someone is on anything shady, they keep on lying about their whereabouts.

Before concluding if your partner is a cheater or trying to be one, try to have a conversation about your fears or doubts.

Please note: Your significant other could display all 5of these signs and still not be cheating. But these remain indications that something is wrong in their life and/or your relationship. It might not be cheating, but there is almost certainly something that you and your significant other to talk about.

At the same time, your mate could be exhibiting none of these ten signs and still be cheating. Either way, the good news is that learning about infidelity does not automatically signal the end of your relationship. It simply means your partner has a lot of work to do if they want to restore relationship trust, make things right, and re-establish emotional and sexual intimacy.
