Have you noticed any changes in your spouse or partner recently? Are they acting odd and secretive? These oddities and changes might be signs of an affair, but before jumping to conclusions of infidelity, watch for these 10 signs that indicate if your spouse might be cheating so you can plan your next move.

  2. Frequent Absences
  3. Appearance
  4. Communication
  5. Eating Habits
  6. Email and Internet
  7. Intimacy
  8. Physical Evidence
  9. Changes in Your Relationship
  10. Gut Feeling
Financial If you suspect your spouse is having an affair keep close tabs on any shared finances.
See if there's any receipts for hotels, restaurants even jewellery and flowers that you didn't receive.
Chances are that money is being spent on someone else.
Frequent Absences Do you find that your spouse is away more often? If your spouse or partner is suddenly working late, going to more conferences or schmoozing with the boss for dinner this could also be a sign of infidelity.
Appearance Is your spouse or partner's appearance changing? Do they all of a sudden want to start looking good 24/7? This could be an indication that there's someone new in the picture they're trying to impress.
Keep and eye out for frequent haircuts, usually 3-4 weeks between haircuts is good, any more than that and something might be up.
Communication If your spouse or partner is showing reluctance and resistance to conversation and general communication with you this could be a sign of an emotional affair.
Usually they fear that if they talk too much they might let something slip so they'll try and frequently change the subject or become evasive when you press them on a subject.
Eating Habits Do you find that your spouse or partner has changed their eating habits? Often in a new relationship we'll do things to impress each other such as eat things that we don't' like but we know the other person does.
If your partner or spouses eating habits have taken on a dramatic change this could be a sign of an affair.
Email and Internet Usage Does your spouse or partner have a secret email account that you don't know about? When you check the history on their computer has it all been erased? This could be a sure sign that something is going on and they're trying to cover their tracks.
Intimacy Do you find that your patterns of intimacy have changed? Does your spouse or partner want it more? Have they made odd requests that they haven't made before? This could be because someone new has aroused those appetites and passions and now they want you to act them out.
Physical Evidence Don't be blind to physical evidence.
Any hidden jewellery or receipts that you find could be signs of infidelity.
It can be hard to admit the truth, but they do tell a story that something else is going on.
Changes in Your Relationship Has your spouse or partner become more distant with you? Do they seem closed off and unwilling to communicate? This could be because they are receiving attention from someone else.
Gut Feeling Is your gut telling you something's wrong? If it is, take a look at the other 9 signs and see if you can establish a pattern.
If you're still uneasy about things you could hire a private investigator to see If what your gut is telling you is true.
Not all of these signs mean that your spouse or partner is cheating or being unfaithful to you, but if you don't know what to look for it could be happening right under your nose and that's not fair to you.
