Here are the signs that prove your partner is unfaithful

Deception, lies, infidelity… Discovering that your partner is seeing someone else in secret is a devastating ordeal for any couple. However, certain warning signs are not misleading. In this article, we reveal the main clues that should alert you to possible infidelity on the part of your other half. Learn to spot these suspicious behaviors so you're never caught off guard again.

First worrying sign: your partner suddenly becomes irritable and arguments break out over a yes or a no. Although disagreements are normal in a relationship, an increase in conflict can mask a deeper problem. According to a study, 20% of unfaithful husbands admit to arguing more often with their wives since the start of their extramarital affair.

Be wary if your other half loses his temper over small things, constantly criticizes you or systematically questions what you say. This aggressive behavior may reflect repressed guilt. By lying, an unfaithful partner will tend to project their own wrongs onto you, even if it means starting unfounded quarrels.

“Sorry honey, I have to work late again tonight.” » If this type of apology becomes commonplace, there is something fishy going on. An unfaithful partner will try by all means to spend less time at home to reunite with their lover. Pretending professional obligations, activities with friends or last-minute unforeseen events, he will try to justify his repeated absences.

Another warning sign: your other half seems to avoid you and runs away as soon as you suggest joint activities. They cancel your appointments, pretending to be too tired to go out or pretending to have forgotten your plans. If your partner is no longer looking to spend quality time with you, it may be because they are spending it with someone else…

This distancing is also felt in your privacy. If sex is becoming increasingly rare and your partner is avoiding your signs of affection, it is time to open a dialogue. However, keep in mind that a temporary drop in libido is possible without a link to infidelity. The main thing is to broach the subject with your other half to understand what is behind this change.

New suspicious behavior: your partner is constantly glued to their smartphone and isolates themselves to make calls. If they refuse to give you their unlock code, hide their screen as soon as you approach or systematically delete their conversation history, mistrust is required. This sudden need for confidentiality is often a sign that they are having a secret relationship with someone else.

Worse still, your other half turns the situation to their advantage by accusing you of paranoia or unhealthy jealousy as soon as you express doubts. They may even go so far as to suspect you yourself of infidelity! This manipulative counterattack, typical of narcissistic perverts, aims to destabilize you to better camouflage its own lies.

If these attempts at blaming are accompanied by incessant criticism, denigration of your qualities and control over your relationships, your relationship is clearly turning into a toxic dynamic. Don't wait until your self-esteem is shattered and run away from this harmful partner before it's too late.

Conversely, if your partner suddenly lacks confidence and doubts his strengths, remain vigilant. A drop in self-esteem can push him into the arms of another person, the time to inflate his ego and prove to himself that he can still seduce.

Several clues betray this renewed sense of coquetry: they join the gym, renew their wardrobe, suddenly take care of their appearance or increase the number of evenings with friends without you. So many opportunities to put yourself back in the eyes of others, even if it means flirting with strangers.

If trying new experiences is not wrong in itself, a radical change in lifestyle should challenge you. Even more so if your partner refuses to include you in their new projects. Keep your eyes peeled to check that this need for revaluation does not hide an extramarital affair.

If you've caught your partner cheating or if evidence of infidelity is mounting, follow your intuition. Especially if you're a woman: your sixth sense is rarely wrong when it comes to spotting lies!

Keep in mind, however, that a legitimate suspicion is not worth an unfounded accusation. Rather than playing detective, openly approach the issue with your other half. Express your doubts, feelings and needs. If dialogue is impossible or if your partner refuses to give you explanations, draw the consequences.

Remember that being cheated on is not inevitable and even less a mistake. You don't have to feel guilty or question yourself. An unfaithful partner is the only one to blame for breaking the pact of trust between you. Surround yourself with your loved ones, give yourself time to heal your wounds and if necessary, consult a therapist to rebuild yourself.

Repeated arguments, emotional distance, the need to conceal or changes in attitude are all signals that should alert you to possible infidelity. If you notice several of these signs, don't hesitate to ask your partner for accountability.

Although it is tempting to forgive his differences out of love, deception permanently weakens the foundations of a couple. Your mutual trust will have to be patiently rebuilt, provided that your partner agrees to put his cards on the table and undertakes not to do it again.

Whatever the outcome of this ordeal, remember that your well-being is paramount. Don't let anyone taint your self-esteem. A heartbreak is not inevitable but an opportunity to start fresh, by focusing on a healthy and honest relationship.
