What are the signs of a cheating spouse? Is your spouse cheating or not? Any unusual behavior can be misconstrued as a "sign" of a cheater. Granted, there are some spouses that are more prone to cheating than others and the signs are surely appropriate, but some spouses simply don't cheat. Understand that when we look for signs of a cheater, we'll surely find them, but suppose that our spouse isn't cheating?
For this article, I'm going to use the supposed signs of a cheating spouse to show how easy we can become swayed into believing something that may or may not be a fact. Is your spouse cheating or does it just seem like they are cheating?
Signs That Your Husband Is NOT Cheating On You
1. He Stays Out Late
He stays out late working overtime at his job because he has to work harder, longer hours for all the new clothes, furniture, cars, boats, houses, and other stuff you're both buying for the house and for entertainment. Or perhaps he stays out late with his buddies, which doesn't necessarily mean he is cheating or even looking to cheat. When in doubt, simply ask him. If he says he's not cheating, than give him the benefit of the doubt.
2. Strange Numbers On His Cell Phone
He has unfamiliar numbers on his cell phone because he has a lot of contacts for his job. Just because your husband has strange numbers that you aren't familiar with on his cell phone certainly does not mean he is cheating on you. The best thing you can do is to ask him straight out who the numbers belong to, or call the numbers yourself. Be careful though, a woman may answer and you may take it to mean something other than innocent.
3. Begins To Dress Better
Instead of wearing his usual khakis or sweats when he goes out, he now wears more formal attire and makes sure his hair is combed and he's clean shaven. He begins to dress better because he has taken more pride in himself since he married his lovely wife. He wants to look good for his wife and family nothing wrong with that is there?
4. You Asked Him If He Was Cheating
You asked him if he was cheating and he said that he wasn't cheating. Are you having a difficult time believing him? What for? Sometimes we want to believe something so bad that we find reasons to believe it. If we keep bombarding our mind with the signs of a cheater we begin to actually believe that our husband is cheating. Its strange how the mind works, but its true.
