Experienced private investigator Aaron Bond, from the UK, has revealed to the Daily Mail the four key signs that indicate your partner may be cheating on you.
He said he’s settled on the four signs after decades of following potentially unfaithful partners and says these four are the most common.
Being secretive with their phone
Mr Bond says a change in a person’s phone habits are usually the first hint that a partner has something to hide.
“If your partner changes their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them around the house, or become defensive when you ask to use their phone – it could be a sign of them not being faithful,” he said.
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They don’t tell you about their day
Debriefing about your day is something most partners do together, so if your spouse suddenly stops telling you about their activities, it could be a sign they’re hiding something.
“They avoid you because it makes it easier for them to lie to you,” Mr Bond said.
“Cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out.”
Change in libido
A cheating partner may stop having sex at home because they are getting it elsewhere. But some cheaters may also increase frequency of sex with their partner because they feel guilty about the affair.
Mr Bond said to be on the lookout for any sudden changes in libido in either direction.
“You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before,” he said.
Being suddenly overcritical
Someone cheating on their partner may start to look for flaws they can use to justify their behaviour.
“Cheaters will try to convince themselves that you’re the problem,” Mr Bond said.
“Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal.”
