1. Covert phone or computer use. Partners who cheat use their phones and laptops more frequently than before and protect them as if their lives depended on them. If your partner’s phone and laptop previously did not require a password and suddenly do, this is not a good indicator. If he or she suddenly begins deleting texts and erasing their browser history daily, or if he or she never puts down their phone or even takes it into the bathroom when they shower, this is not a good indicator.

2. unreachable. Your cheating partner is less likely to answer your calls and texts. You may hear excuses such as they were at a meeting, driving, or were unaware you were trying to contact them. If your partner is inaccessible while working late or on a business trip, it is a symptom of infidelity. 3. Changed schedule. If your partner, who has never worked late, suddenly needs to work late, and this happens regularly, they may be lying.

If your spouse has never been on a business trip and suddenly sees the need to travel for work, it could be a clue that they are planning weekend vacations with someone else. Dead batteries, flat tires, traffic delays, extra time at the gym, and other excuses for being late or absent altogether may all be evidence of cheating. A dishonest partner may abruptly forget about picking up the kids, birthdays, and other key events.

4. unexplained costs. This is another prevalent symptom. If your partner’s credit cards show unusual charges, or there is suddenly less money in your partner’s bank accounts, retirement accounts, investment accounts, and so on, you should be concerned. If you ask your partner about this spending and their responses appear false, they are most likely cheating.

Cheating costs money since your cheating partner must purchase gifts, excursions, and wine, as well as pay for dinners, hotel rooms, and other expenses. Cheating can be quite costly. If you notice huge cash withdrawals or evidence of purchases from places you rarely or never visit, this is not a good indicator.

5. Emotional intimacy disappears. Typically, after a few years, the connection is less intense than it was in the first few months. However, partners get closer with time, learning to trust one another with their secrets, wants, and other vital areas of their lives. That is referred to as developing emotional intimacy.

Emotional connection is what keeps spouses together long after the wedding. So, if your partner suddenly appears less emotionally vulnerable and intimate with you, and does not appear to want you to be emotionally vulnerable and intimate, it is a significant indicator that their attention has changed to an affair partner.
