They say a relationship is nothing without trust, I say you always have to know that you can’t put anything past anybody. Don’t spend your relationship accusing your significant other of cheating, or looking for clues that they are cheating, but don’t be naïve either. If the signs are there, and you feel some type of way act on it. It is very possible for people to be faithful, but there are a lot of cheaters out there as well. A lot of women and men say that their significant other would never cheat and later they have to eat those words. If you have a good relationship, savior it, but if you see any of these signs, don’t ignore them.
He/she leaves the room to answer the phone
If it’s business or an important call and your mate wants to talk in a quiet area that is one thing, but to leave the room to have hushed conversations is a major red flag.
He/she won’t answer the phone on front of you
Have you ever been around your mate and their phone rings and rings and they won’t answer it? That is cause for a red flag. Why not answer your phone? If it is someone that you don’t want to talk to, answer it and say you will call them back.
He/she begins to hang out with friends more
We all need time to unwind and we usually want to do this with friends, but if your mate is spending more time with friends than you that is a problem. If your mate claims they are with friends two and three times a week this may be a scapegoat for something else.
He/she begins to pick arguments
Ever been with someone that starts an argument for a silly reason and you’re left wondering what was that about? Maybe they want to find a reason to be angry to feel less guilty about something they are doing.
Decreased sex drive
Go from having sex five times a week to once or twice? Maybe he or she is tired, but maybe they are getting sex from another source.
Getting dressed up to go nowhere
Is she putting on tons of make-up to go out with friends and she never did it before? Is he all of a sudden pressed about what he wears and spraying cologne to go chill with his boys? Maybe they are trying to impress someone.
These aren’t scientific facts, and don’t just out of the blue go accuse your mate of cheating for no good reason. But we all have a gut feeling and if something seems off and the signs are there, maybe you should do some communicating to find out what’s going on.
