The Cheating Checklist: Cheating Signs to Look Out For

Have you ever wondered why it does not come as a big surprise to close friends of whoever it was who got cheated upon, the news of their partner being unfaithful? The answer is simple. It is because almost all cheaters give it away by their actions and nature’s signals are also always present to guide us in our relationships. While those in the relationship choose not to pay any heed to them, people who have their best interests at heart notice these signs quickly and even try to warn you.

A trusted circle of friends and family will often be the first to point out changes in your partner’s behaviour. Similarly, many women have been warned by expert love and relationship psychics about a cheating spouse or boyfriend. A recent example is of celebrity Michelle Keegan who was warned by her psychic that Max George would cheat on her. Instead of brushing aside such suspicions and warnings, use our checklist to make your own decisions.

The Cheating Checklist

This checklist goes over some signs to look out for, in your relationship and those of people close to you, to save heartbreaks that become inevitable when you discover that your partner has been cheating on you. From people around us to popular celebrity couples, these signals have helped detect and prepare for many a case of cheating.

1. Your partner starts getting too obsessed with his looks, shops for too many new clothes and suddenly starts ‘shaping up’.

2. He seems very interested in your work schedule and at what times you will be busy, or at home, or at work etc.

3. Does not answer his cell phone in your presence after seeing the number.

4. Goes out of your earshot to answer phone calls.

5. Is absent at odd hours.

6. Hastily shuts the top of his laptop or closes windows or tabs on his computer as you enter.

7. Deletes or hides SMS messages immediately after reading them. I.e. you know he received a text at a certain hour, but when you look for it later, it is gone.

8. Has to go on work trips, too often.

9. Is not interested in how you spent your day or what’s going on in your life.

10. Does not walk beside you and is often, hurrying ahead.

11. Does not respond favourably when you get physical with him in public like touching, hugging etc.

12. Criticizes you too much and you mostly fall short of his expectations.

13. Is absent from his work place and his whereabouts are not known to anyone.

14. Claims to have been with a friend, but you later find out that he wasn’t there.

15. His internet browsing history shows a new email address or memberships to dating sites etc.

16. You find traces of perfume, lipsticks, contraception tools or any other such things that lead to the presence of another woman in his life.

17. Your sexual life is deteriorating and he doesn’t seem to complain.

18. Seems to have too many appointments and meetings on weekends and during evenings.

19. Does not look happy when you return home earlier, and has to make an urgent call.

20. Spends too much time dressing up, even if he is going for a small errand.

21. Mentions in his discussions with you or a group of friends about open relationships being okay, or that cheating does not mean an end of a relationship or speaks in support of other friends who are cheating.

22. His cell phone is too often, too busy and you have difficulty getting in touch with him.

23. On checking his accounts, you find a new phone or a credit card that you do not know about.

24. Your partner seems nervous and is behaving strangely.

25. Seems distant and lost in his thoughts more than it would be normal.

More often than not, a combination of some of the above signs is present when someone is cheating. One thing you need to be is, very sure before you confront your partner about it. Although most of them don’t, but some men might show these signs even when stressed out by something else that is going in their lives and you want to be sure you do not accuse him without strong proof. This checklist will give you the necessary base to carry forward your investigations which will then determine whether your relationship is rock solid or it is time to move on and search for your true soulmate who is still out there somewhere.
