How to tell If Your Boyfriend is Cheating: 5 Signs to Watch Out Akshita Singhvi October 1, 2019 Love, Relationship 1972 The relationship is the most extraordinary feeling everyone experiences in their life. You feel like holding his hand, walking on the streets, pampering him, and giving a kiss of love. It is truly an incredible moment for every couple. Everything goes well, but suddenly you realize the change of behavior in your partner, and things are not the same as before. Then only one question that clicks in your mind is if he is cheating on you. ‘Cheating’ is easy to pronounce but harder to digest; it is also a heartbreaking moment for a girl when she realizes that her boyfriend is cheating on her; she feels terrible and feels the ultimate betrayal. Therefore, it becomes even more challenging to bounce back in a relationship. This is because trust is so critical … It’s the foundation of every relationship that is built on. If you can’t trust a man, then everything else you try to make together will fail miserably. It’s a sad truth that every relationship is not healthy and happy. Sometimes trust can be challenging to hang on to when you’ve got a gnawing feeling that your partner might not be loyal towards you. If you have that feeling, then what should you do to confirm it? How to find out if your boyfriend is cheating? Is there a way to even know? Are there signs other than catching them red-handed on bed with someone else that could mean they’re cheating? Well, in this article, I’ll take you through five crucial signs that your boyfriend might be cheating on you. Use this list to guide you, and if you think you have reason to be suspicious, just keep watching and waiting. Are you ready to know those signs? Yeah! Let’s find out. 1. He’s More on his Phone than Usual If he’s suddenly glued to his phone from the past few days, watch out, it is an alarm that something is fishy. This is a significant concern, especially if he’s sneaky about it. If your partner doesn’t tell you who he’s talking to or what he is doing and gets angry if you ask him or ask for his phone, this is a red flag and a confirmation that he is dating or approaching other women. Because a man who’s 100% into the relationship and doesn’t have another woman in the mix will have nothing to hide, he won’t constantly be texting or call someone in the name of any other person. If you feel like his focus is always somewhere else, either on his phone or laptop, he could be connecting with someone on an online dating app or any other online meeting platform. If he pretends to be defensive and tries to hide something from you, this is an indication he’s cheating or about to cheat. Be alert! 2. He’s Suddenly Very Busy with Work See, we had already told you if you observe sudden changes in his activities and appearances or started leaving you alone in the name of work or office tours. It is a sign that he found some with whom he wants to spend time, in the name of work. The other probability is that he goes out after work more frequently for people directly from the office? Chances are there’s a new woman at the workplace; this could be a way for him to spend time with her after the office hours, to get to know her personally. If he never went for any work after the office hours and suddenly if he follows the routine of going out, it could be a sign he’s testing the waters to cheat. Somehow it may be possible he’s using “work” as a cover to spend more time with her. 3. Lost Interest in Sex Sex is a personal moment for every couple; it is also a way to make love. Those moments are very private, and it strengthens the bond of understanding between the two. But what if you find your man is not interested in sex anymore, or what if you find that he is ignoring you when you try to come closer. The answer is he found someone, and he is taking an interest in other women because he’s in love, and he wants to build a sexual relationship with her. Even if he’s not in love with the person he is cheating with, someone engaging in disloyalty can feel uncomfortable behaving intimately with a girlfriend because it runs counter to their cheating behavior. Showing a fake loving behavior toward you when he’s cheating on you would make him feel even worse. 4. Still using a Dating App When you close the profile from a dating app, the most common reason would be that you found your love. But if you found that your boyfriend is still using dating apps, it’s an alarm; he might still be searching for another girl. A man whose intention is not to cheat will not leave his profile up once you’re official in a relationship. Suppose he again posts his profile up after some days. In that case, chances are he is stalking some other profiles and trying to contact those profiles in his list because a genuine, loyal partner will delete the app immediately after the official relationship. These are not the promising signs of a man who wants to be faithful. 5. He Suddenly Needs a Lot of Privacy Everybody needs a certain amount of privacy, and people can be different about how much of it they need. From day one, if he is a concerned privacy individual, then there is no issue, but suddenly if you notice that he has started majorly needing a lot of privacy, then it is a problem. If you’re asking anything, he gets annoyed and angry, knowing that it is not a good sign. For example- If he doesn’t keep a password in his phone, but suddenly you notice that he is now putting a passcode, understand that the sudden inclination towards privacy means he’s cheating on you because no one suddenly changes without any good reason. Privacy about his personal space is also important. If he used to want you immediately right after his office work, but now if he is going directly to the bedroom without talking to you, this could indicate that he is cheating. In the end, relationships are all about openness and sharing. If you felt like your partner was open and sharing before, but now he’s suddenly stopped sharing out the things then, it’s a huge red flag. Conclusion What to Do If You Think He’s Cheating? The fact that you’re wondering if he’s cheating on you is your first crucial indication. You need to trust your gut! Now think about every incident from the past to the present. If he’s doing a few of them, then it could be a coincidence. Maybe he is taking extra precautions with his appearance because he is new at work and following the rule of ‘dress to impress.’ Also, maybe he is working hard to prove his capabilities, so perhaps he is getting late from the office. But if he’s doing more than these things … then something is definitely up. If your partner is losing interest in you, he is probably gaining interest in a new girl and cheating on you. It is a thumb rule if you’re suspicious, you can’t have a healthy relationship, whether your suspicions are justified or not. See, you need to understand that you can’t control what he’s doing, but you can control how you choose to respond to the matter. Unless you know for sure he’s already cheated, then distrusting him, and blaming him, is not the right way to go. Instead of shouting or showing anger, ask him why he thought to cheat on you? Tell him if a person is happy and satisfied, he never looks for an option. What extra you want in a relationship, ask him, and listen to him what he says. If you get a satisfying answer, then start thinking about why he fell in love with you, to begin with, and bring that enthusiasm back into the relationship. Don’t criticize him for attending too many happy hours or staying too late at work or going on too many business trips. Instead, try to carve out an unforgettable time together. Suggest going on some of his journeys with him, if possible. Be supportive. If you’re bringing a new positive vibes into the relationship and he’s still mistreating you, if the trust feels like it’s completely gone or if you think things can’t be on track again, then it’s better to choose a different path and walk away. I hope this information (mentioned above) gave you some sort of clarity on your current situation. If your guy is cheating, my heart goes out to you, and I hope you will make the right decision regarding what to do next. Good Luck! SHARE THIS POST
