My Heart is Breaking ! ! !

Finding out that your partner is cheating is heartbreaking. Sometimes your partner can be cheating on you for a substantial amount of time and you are blissfully unaware of it. If you suspect that you partner may be cheating, here are a few guidelines to help you assess the situation and see if they are.

Emotional signs of cheating can be difficult to spot because they can be subtle but they also need confirmation, as not all changes in emotional behavior are down to cheating! When a partner is cheating they can experience a wide range of emotions. They will feel excited and happy, obviously because of their new thrill. On the flip side they can become guilt ridden and depressed because they know what they are doing is wrong. It is a double-edged sword, and many think that they can live a double life but few can, and get away with it.

A cheating partner can overcompensate for their guilt, by giving you more attention. Buying gifts and having an increased desire to make love, this can be their way of making themselves feel less guilty.

Increased sexual desire could be from their excitement of a new relationship. Usually if someone is being aroused more they are going to want more sex. If your partner suggests a new move in bed, they could have been shown this by their lover and enjoyed it, or even trying to practice it so they can impress their new lover.

Mood swings are another emotional behavior that cheating partners display. They can lose their temper over the smallest and unnecessary things. They become offended at your comments no matter how harmless they are.

Another emotional telltale sign is closing doors. Strange as it must seem, but when you are in a long-term relationship you tend to leave doors open, especially the bathroom door, even if your partner is nearby. When a partner is cheating they start to close the doors, trying to distance themselves emotionally and physically from you.

If you notice any of these signs, do not go and make rash accusations, you must find proof first. The last thing you want to do is ruin a perfectly good relationship over false accusations of cheating.
