Indications of a Cheating Spouse

While there are numerous signs of a cheating spouse to be found, unless you know exactly how to recognize and easily uncover those signs, while keeping yourself safe from being obvious or undergoing unnecessary emotional stress, it can be a daunting and harrowing ordeal.

If you have the slightest suspicion that signs of a cheating spouse are starting to show, there are various ways to confirm your suspicions without actually lighting the fire by direct interrogation.

To start with, the first reaction you will probably show if you suspect anything untoward will in all likelihood be anger. It’s a natural reaction and one not easily controlled. The entire animal world certainly not excluding mankind will usually show one of two reactions to being hurt, whether physically or emotionally.

The first reaction is usually to strike back at the hurting source in an instinctive self defense action triggered by the first signs of a cheating spouse found cheating and the second is to try to get away from the hurting source in order to avoid any more pain. The latter being sometimes impossible in a married or “living with” situation.

However, when signs of a cheating spouse  start to become more and more painful, it’s time to try to alleviate those suspicions once and for all either way with a positive view to protect yourself and your self esteem. Loss of self esteem can become just as damaging to your emotional state as the actual loss of trust you might be feeling in your partner when the signs of a cheating spouse  become more obvious.

It’s important to note here that if you have a clear field of focus when heading into what could well become a field of conflict, you will find that your defenses will give you strength in trying to combat your emotions while at the same time provide you with a reachable goal in satisfying your “need to know” impulses.

Ten of the most common signs of a cheating spouse

Note: This list is not in order of importance or relevance and is only designed as a reference to some common signs of a cheating spouse.

1. He/she is getting an unusual amount of calls at odd times to their cell phone.

Unless your spouse is involved in a business they normally take home with them such as in real estate for example, the increase in the receipt of calls to their mobile phone can be an indication of infidelity particularly if they make a rapid hang up or the conversation changes tone as soon as you are present.

2. Apart from the old lipstick on the collar signs of a cheating spouse scenario, there are other ways in which your partner’s clothing can be indicative of infidelity.

For example, it’s very likely that if your partner has just been with some one else, they would have taken a shower before coming home and will smell fresh and clean but, their clothing will still have giveaway odors such as cigarette smoke, perfume, cologne, food smells and possible stains etc.

3. Obvious nervousness when first arriving home.

Regardless of how good an actor your possible cheating spouse may be, it is rare indeed that one can not show an element of nervousness when something is amiss, and this not only applies to signs of a cheating spouse. However it’s often said that where there is smoke there is fire and if you notice some nervousness when they come home, it’s quite natural to ask if there is anything wrong. If your question is met with a snapping reply or you are fobbed off with a mumbled explanation on regular occasions it’s time for further investigation.

4. An abrupt change of regular habits.

This can be a toughie because your partner may have entirely other reasons to change habits but changing habits is still indicative of a change of some sort and is well worth while investigation further if those changes are radical and more than one.
For example: Your suspected cheating spouse may be a smoker and while it’s understandable that they would want to give it up for health reasons, a smoker will usually talk about quitting to their partner and friends long before they actually try. If she/he just comes home one day and says “I’ve quit smoking.” with no warning or lead up, one would have to suspect another’s influence. This sort of behavior is often coupled with another change if they are being unfaithful such as taking up bowling or fishing when they have never shown any interest whatsoever in the past.

5. Other common signs of a cheating spouse:

These can include your spouse’s change of general interests such as in dress style, personal appearance and fashion. With a new influence in their life they become open to new ideas and to different life styles. A sudden interest in looking younger in midlife or embarking on a sudden crash weight loss course is definitely a sign of change which should arouse your suspicions.

6. The all telling paper trail.

Regardless of how careful someone is in all aspects of life, there are always innocuous little mistakes made. These can include innocent screwed up little pieces of paper left in places like their pockets, their glove compartment in the car, on the dashboard, between the seats, on the floor of the car etc. In the house; in the bathroom garbage bin, trapped in the “S” bend of the toilet bowl, stuck away in the underwear drawer, between the pages of a book such as a daily diary or appointment book.
Quite often a man for example, will innocently write a note about something completely unrelated on a piece of paper he has tucked into his pocket without realizing that the piece of paper is a motel or hotel receipt, which he then leaves sitting on the dresser when he showers or before going to bed. Besides the one just mentioned, and obvious ones such as florist receipts or cards, there are all sorts of pieces of paper such as game or movie tickets. Bowling receipts or restaurant napkins. Parking station receipts from odd parts of town. Or even chocolate or candy wrappers which can be seen as signs of a spouse cheating.

7. Another one to consider, which seems at first to be a good sign of the opposite, is a sudden and unexplained show of affection towards you.

An unfaithful partner is a guilty partner. Guilt will often disclose itself in strange ways. If your spouse suddenly becomes more affectionate physically or starts to bring home little gifts and directs uncharacteristic kind tendencies towards you or the children, unless there is a justifiable reason it could be a time to be wary. Guilt is a difficult and heavy cross to bear and it’s not unusual to find a guilty person subconsciously trying to lighten the load by doing well to others. How many times have you lashed out at someone you know did not deserve it and apologizing later because you felt guilty?

8. Sometimes signs of a spouse cheating can manifest themselves in the form of self righteousness.

A person who is being unfaithful to his/her partner will often find self justification in their guilt by trying to convince themselves that they are right. They will purposefully pick fights with their partner in an effort to make the partner do something wrong so they themselves can see a distorted view of their own actions. “She/he did this or said that which justifies my looking for alternative company”.

9. Lack of and avoiding conversation.

If a person’s mind is on something or someone else, it’s hardly surprising that their concentration will waver when trying to converse on something other than the subject of that concentration. It’s especially true when the person who is trying to converse with them is seen in a distorted way as the reason for their predicament.

The guilty party will often see their spouse as being the main obstacle in the path of being with the person of their desire and will feel an underlying resentment to him or her and will not feel attracted to indulging in what they see as unmeaning and fruitless conversation. It’s up to you to determine whether this lack of conversation coupled with other tell tale signs are actually signs of infidelity in a spouse.

10. Shortage of ready money.

Most modern couples adhere to some form of budgeting. While checking a spouse’s credit card account is an obvious way to uncover unexplained signs of over spending, it’s not always possible to do so these days with the advent of internet banking. However a husband or wife usually has a fairly good idea of how much money their partners generally spend on themselves. If your partner suddenly starts to consume more money than usual and is actually suggesting an increase in her/his personal budget, it could be further signs of a spouse cheating. This is probably more common among men because despite the age old custom of chivalry being supposedly dead, men are more likely to try to impress by being extravagant than women.

In order to understand how to save a relationship, it’s just as important to understand how to build one.
In Part one, we mentioned four basic keys necessary to unlocking the door to Building a Relationship. We spoke about the first 2 keys. Purposeful Communication and Right Understanding. To view Building a Relationship click here

In this, part 2:

How to Save a Relationship

We examine the other two keys and their relative importance to unlocking the combination, both to building a successful relationship, and also how to save a relationship using the following four keys.

• Purposeful Communication – ( Communicating with the intention of being understood and to be understand )
• Right Understanding – ( Understanding appreciating, and respecting each others differences )
• No Judgments – ( Letting go of negative judgments of ourselves and others)
• Acceptance of Responsibility – (Accepting equal responsibility for what you each receive from the relationship and practicing forgiveness.)

No Judgments

The third key to creating a meaningful and supportive relationship and understanding how to save a relationship is the inevitable outcome of right understanding. As we learn to be able to understand and accept our differences we are also successfully learning to communicate our feelings, thoughts and our desires. In doing this we can then begin to let go of our tendencies to place negative judgments.

The negative appraisals of ourselves and of others, often inhibits our abilities to fully express our talents. Negative, deprecatory judgments restrict us from taking full pleasure in enjoying what we have in our lives in general. Judgments and criticisms of ourselves and those around us are symptoms of low esteem. Negative judgments will always ruin our relationships and also inhibit our ability to learn how to save a relationship if and when we need to.

As we learn to understand each other through honesty in our conversations and heartfelt listening, we start to realize and release the negative judgments that have separated us from each other. It is not the differences that tend to separate us but rather the judgments that surround those differences. These judgments are born out of misunderstandings.

Accepting Responsibilities:

The forth key to building a relationship and learning how to save a relationship is taking equal responsibility for the things that occur with in a relationship and practicing forgiveness. Being responsible is the opposing feeling to that of feeling like a victim. Trying to feel forgiveness is almost impossible if you don’t feel as though you are equally responsible.

Those who see themselves as victims think that they are not responsible for their situation when the truth is; we are all responsible for the environment we find ourselves in because we created that environment. Everyone is a product of their own environment and victims often think they can do nothing to change it without realizing that they created it and so can change it. The victims often ignore their responsibility for creating disharmony and abuse in their relationships. Their attitude not only ruins their relationships but also their lives and that of their loved ones.

Responsibility and Repressed Resentment:

Taking responsibility becomes easier when we start to realize that by misjudging others as being wrong, unloving, uncaring or simply not good enough is unwittingly provoking their dysfunction.
When a person tries hard to be loving, understanding and accepting without good communication skills, they also become good at repressing resentments. When their partners then react as if being provoked by judgments and resentments, it becomes very difficult to accept responsibility. The good intention of trying to be accepting (and so repressing negative resentment) then makes the situation far worse.

While much has been said and written over the eons about building a relationship, there are four basic keys for creating a mutually supportive and rewarding relationship.

These four basic keys can unbind the potential within you toward building a relationship that can be loving, lasting and rewarding, and will lead to building a relationship that will fulfill your hopes and your dreams. They will unlock the realization within you that will help you understand why your past relationships have had flaws and provide you with a foundation on which to build a relationship that will remain stable and enriching for now and in the future.

Purposeful Communication

- ( Communicating with the intention of being understood and to be able to understand )
•

Right Understanding

- ( Understanding appreciating, and respecting each others differences )
•

No Judgments –

( Letting go of negative judgments of ourselves and others)

• Acceptance of Responsibility –

(Accepting equal responsibility for what you each receive from the relationship and practicing forgiveness.)

Purposeful Communication:

Communication is of absolute essence if you are to learn about and hold respect for each others differences. Telling the truth while building a relationship, particularly about our feelings is essential if we have hope in building a relationship that will thrive. Relationships thrive on the communication of truth but without understanding the underlying purpose of truthful communication, any attempt toward building a relationship will inevitably fail!

Right Understanding:

While communication is an extremely important part of any attempts in building a relationship, it does not stand alone and ultimately is only the vehicle through which we understand each other. Right understanding enriches our relationships while misunderstanding can lead to ruining them. Purposeful Communication enables us to increase Right Understanding and in so so doing creates an easy going atmosphere while at he same time building a relationship that will be enriching and rewarding to you and your partner.

There are many levels of understanding necessary for communications in order to succeed in building a relationship successfully. They are as follows:

• A commitment to a deeper understanding of others as well as ourselves.
• Understanding the differences of how men and women react to stress.
• A deeper understanding of the true feelings that lie beneath the things we say and do.
• Being able to understand the true feelings behind the actions and reactions of others.
• A greater understanding of the body language of your partner. ( For example, when your partner shrugs his or her shoulders, it could mean something entirely different to your meaning when you shrug yours.)
• To be able to understand that something you might feel is easy to ask, might be extremely difficult for someone else to ask.
• An understanding that what may be easy for you to hear might well be painful for others to hear.
• An understanding of what you might think is helpful to others because it is helpful to you may well have the opposite effect on others.
• An understanding that just because the language we speak might sound the same as that of others, we all speak a different underlying language.

Right understanding starts with the realization that we are all unique in our individuality, and it’s sometimes very easy to misunderstand each other. In the understanding and respect of our differences, we can not only erect the bridges that will unite us but we can also learn from understanding others, the absolute necessities required in building a relationship that will become the keystone to the rest of your life.
