Signs of a Cheater

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Even if your partner thinks they have the gift of the gab or they have you hanging on their every word, eventually their cheating ways will be discovered and they will trip up. This article is to arm you with ways in which you can tell for sure your partner is cheating and catch them unawares.

A cheater often shows key behavioral changes, when they are involved with a secret lover. They can often be too cheerful and attentive towards you, their long-term partner. As their secret love develops into a more long-term fling their behavior can become moody and distant. It is like the feelings of that first love. When you meet somebody new for the first time the relationship is exciting and new, you feel a buzz in the air and you’re walking on cloud nine. But overtime this freshness can fade and especially if your partner’s secret lover is becoming more demanding of their time, it can become a tough balancing act. Having to remember all those lies. Your partner may even become depressed and withdrawn.

Now I’m not saying feel sorry for the cheating partner, oh no, not by a long shot. But it is interesting how the affects of leading a double life can affect a person so much. If your partner is feeling guilty about an affair they can often show this in the same way. They may seem to be always in deep thought and distracted. Often they become short-tempered and curt for no reason. If you and your partner have children together, they may begin to distance themselves away from the children; this is very much a guilty reaction to cheating.

Other ways in which cheating partners start behaving differently is when they become suddenly private about almost everything. They will start to carry their mobile around with them everywhere, not letting it out of their sight, always checking it to see if they’ve missed a call or text message. They may also start closing doors behind them. When you’ve been in a relationship for a long period of time habits do not change. For instance, not shutting the bathroom door, even if your partner is nearby, it’s just the way in which we show each other that we feel comfortable. But when a partner is cheating they want to create a distance between themselves and you, so they start to close the doors.

Lastly if your partner suddenly starts taking a keen interest in their appearance that wasn’t there before, it could be a sign they are trying to impress somebody else. If they change the style of their hair or try a different style of clothing, it could be something their new lover has suggested they try.
