Your partner has been behaving in a distant manner, frequently erased text messages and call lists on the phone, in addition to working more and more "overtime." Is he cheating on you?

1. He says that they are only friends

This is a predictable statement from one that is being unfaithful. If your partner spends an increasingly amount of time with his new friend, it is possible that there may be more between them than just friendship. You should of course accept that your partner has friends of the opposite sex, but if this makes you feel uncomfortable, it will benefit both you and your relationship that you and your partner have a mutual agreement on rules for what is accepted and what's not.

2. All of a sudden, certain things become secret

If the things you previously used to openly and indiscreetly talk about or do together suddenly become "off limit", something is most likely going on that he does not want you to take part of. If he has created new passwords on your PC and quickly delete out-and incoming messages, or turn the phone off when you are together, it is natural that you react. If he is feeling guilty and show signs of bad conscience, he may actually accuse you of just being a control freak or that you are sickly jealous.

3. He says he needs a break

People who are involved with someone else will automatically require more space and time away from their partner and their family. They are often putting the blame on job related stress or that there are certain things they need time to think through. This may be a sign that your partner is trying to achieve more time to give extended room for his affair.

4. His work schedule changes

He starts spending more time at his job than before, working late and suddenly "needs" to work strange hours. This does not necessarily mean that he is actually seeing someone else, but it is most certainly a sign that you should be aware of.

5. He spends more time in front of the PC

With the modern technology that is available to us today, an person who is being unfaithful does not need to leave home. So-called emotional infidelity can easily be done through chat programs and email. Emotional affairs often happen as via the telephone, particularly the mobile phone. If he quickly hangs up when you enter the room or brings the phone with him when he is down in the laundry basement, it may be a sign.

6. Behavior that does not add up

Does he often miss your appointments or come home late without being able to tell you where he has been? Or does he come up with detailed stories and excuses that does not make any sense to you? Then you have got yet another sign that he might be cheating on you.

7. You feel it and you fear it

If you find yourself constantly questioning the behavior of your partner, or sense that he withdraws himself more and more from you , try to listen to your gut feeling. If you choose to confront him with your suspicions, keep in mind that people who are being unfaithful often become good liars, so be prepared.
