Pick up a copy of almost any national men's or women's magazine and you will find a checklist informing you how to tell if your spouse is cheating on you.
While these advice columns may in fact be helpful to determine whether you should be concerned, they offer nothing in the way of proof that you are a victim of infidelity.
In fact, many of these so-called warning signs of infidelity may actually be easily explained away by your spouse.
Remember that people who cheat in relationships are typically extremely manipulative and dishonest when it comes to hiding their illicit behavior.
Oddly enough, one of the areas in which cheating spouses tend to be negligent in "covering their tracks" is in their cell phone calls to the "other person.
" This oversight will give you the perfect opportunity to determine whether the signs of infidelity do in fact represent unfaithful behavior.
Cell phones are undoubtedly the prime form of communication for cheating people so take a look at your spouse's cell phone and the recent phone numbers that they have been calling repeatedly.
Are there any numbers that you are unfamiliar with? If so, write down those phone numbers and visit a Web site that offers reverse cell phone lookup services.
By simply typing in the suspicious numbers, these sites will provide the name, address and phone provider associated with the number in question.
Once you have this information, you will be better able to determine whether your spouse indeed may be having an extramarital affair.
