6 Signs That Someone Is Cheating On You
Is your relationship on the rocks? Do you think your partner is cheating on you? Check out these 6 tips to find out if your partner is cheating.
1. The telephone
Smart or not, the mobile phone has become a real communication tool. And if it allows you to reach your partner at all times, you should know that it can also be used to fuel a possible adulterous affair. The signs are obvious: he/she receives more texts than usual, or late calls that he/she prefers to answer in isolation. Worse, his/her phone is now constantly attached to his/her hand. Is he/she afraid that you will get an inappropriate message?
2. Passwords
If your partner is worried that you will come across an embarrassing piece of evidence such as a text message, he/she might also be worried that you will find an embarrassing email. If you notice that their computer, email or Facebook passwords have been changed, this could be an unfortunate sign that they have something to hide.
3. A change in work habits
Long meetings, last minute business appointments, unusual work overload; you have never seen your spouse so involved in their work. Suddenly, he/she is indispensable to the company and is not shy about bragging about it... Unless his or her new responsibilities are just an excuse for late returns.
4. New friends
And if it's not work that's holding him/her back, it could be a new activity or new friends that are the reason for his/her extended absences. Seeing your partner broaden his/her horizons and move into a new environment would not actually be a problem, if only he/she offered to accompany him/her.
5. His/her tastes change
If your partner suddenly changes and discovers a new passion for something he/she didn't have before, it could be that his/her new interests are influenced by someone he/she values or wishes to impress. And it could be much worse if they start to reject your own tastes or those you have developed together over the years.
6. He/she takes care of him/herself
A new face, a new style of dress, interests in the gym, yoga or training: what's going on? Maybe it's just a deep desire to take care of yourself. But you may be wondering. What if it's to please someone else?

Relationship: what to do if your hunches have been proven true?
Take time to react. Emotions of shock, grief and anger are common reactions to a partner's infidelity. Working through these emotions takes time and effort, and it is important to give yourself space to think about what would work best for you. Try to write down or rehearse what you are going to say so that you come across as assertive rather than aggressive. Approaching this discussion with anger can lead to rash decision making. If you find it difficult to deal with this situation on your own, talk to a professional who can guide you.
