How to See Signs of Infidelity in Your Partner
There comes a time in many relationships where one partner suspects the other of cheating. Infidelity is one the most challenging and prevalent problems in the psychology of love. In this article, we will discuss some of the indications that may lead you to the truth of what your partner has been doing.
A person engaged in a sexual or romantic affair will present many often subtle indications of their new behaviour. One of the first indications that a partner may notice is distance or proximity. The cheating partner will typically either become closer or more distant to you. For example, he or she may very suddenly begin to show you uncharacteristic attention and affection, expressing how much adoration they have for you.
Conversely, you may find that quite suddenly your partner becomes very emotionally distant, communicating significantly less than usual. In particular, a sexually active male's libido may seem to have mysteriously plummeted, and he is very reluctant to make eye contact with you.
Another significant behavioural change to monitor is your partner's level of personal confidence. Someone who is having an extramarital relationship will typically feel a great boost in confidence, having confirmed that they still have the sexual prowess to successfully attract a mate. They may be more socially outgoing, unaccountably showing more confidence particularly in talking to members of the opposite sex.
They will be taking greater care than usual in maintaining their appearance, perhaps by updating their wardrobe or buying new perfumes. This may coincide with one of the classic signs that your partner may be unfaithful, which is spending more time away.
Any relationship takes time. If your partner is in fact engaging in a new relationship then he or she must be withdrawing that time from elsewhere, whether it is the time you would normally spend together, or maybe even time they have taken away from work. Working overtime is an excuse typically favoured by the unfaithful. If you are in doubt about the truth of this, it is often easy to verify by ringing them at their place of work or by asking one of their colleagues. Going out anywhere on their own is also a telling sign, particularly when they don't bother to provide a reason.
However, when they do offer a reason, there are then means for you to take the measure of verifying their story.
Remember also that prying too closely where it is observable by your partner may not win you any favours. If indeed they are not being unfaithful to you, your lack of confidence in their fidelity may very well negatively affect your relationship, perhaps even to the extent that you push them toward infidelity. Furthermore, even if your partner is cheating, if he or she happens to clue onto you constantly checking up on them they will simply become more devious and take greater effort to cover their tracks next time. If you do plan to investigate your partner's activity, take care to do so discreetly, because being wrong could end up costing you in the end.
Having perfect, unyielding faith in your partner is a difficult if not impossible task. There may be times where you do begin to suspect that your beloved may be involved in a relationship with someone else. Although it may be mere intuition that sets your suspicions in motion, in the psychology of love there are classic indications of an unfaithful partner. By reading the signs carefully and with proper investigation, you can confirm whether your loved one remains true to you.
