Do you have a feeling in your gut that’s something wrong in your relationship?

That maybe, just maybe, your partner’s being unfaithful?

If you do, then you have a decision to make and several options to choose from. (more…)

Do you suspect that your husband or wife is having an affair? Do you want to know how to spot the signs that tell you if your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating on you?

The trouble is, even if you’re married or simply with someone for years it can still be hard to recognise the signs that they are cheating, but you will usually get the feeling that something is ‘going on’ just by noticing little things that are different in their attitude. (more…)

Did you know that an emotional affair can be just as dangerous to a marriage as a physical affair, and sometimes more so? And that spouses who never had any intention of cheating can unwittingly become enmeshed in an emotional affair?
Many spouses will shrug off questions about an emotional affair with the reply that “It’s harmless” or “We’re just friends.” They fail to see the damage that the emotional closeness with someone outside of the marriage is doing to the primary relationship. (more…)

Unfortunately, there is not one simple answer that addresses why all people who get involved in affairs do so. People are complex and engage in infidelity for different reasons. When we talk about the reasons the affair happened, it might seem as though the affair were inevitable or somehow a justifiable course of action. I don’t want to give you that impression. As such, it might be better to think of these as themes for the justification of the affair, rather than the reason it happened. Here are a few themes that seem to come up again and again: (more…)

The internet has seen an explosion in the number of online relationships, which may start innocently, but they can lead to deep emotional affairs which eventually become real physical love affairs. Call it intuition or whatever you like but when someone is having an online affair, it is very hard for the cheating partner to hide the signs from someone that they have lived with for many years.

We all lie. A world without little white lies would be uncivilized. But 99% of us have told bigger lies in our lifespan. For most of us, lies told in our personal life makes us feel bad. However, we still continue to lie and cheat. (more…)

Remember that day so long ago when you said, “I do”. There was no doubt in your mind at that very moment that you were in for the long haul and never thought about anything else. You acknowledged your vows with the truest of intentions and with your whole heart. I’m sure you I soon discovered married life is tough and that can contribute to problems in the best of marriages. Two people can love each other so much and still lose their way. (more…)

An unfaithful husband, cheating wife, any kind of disloyal partner, is an ugly prospect. And that feeling of being betrayed by someone we thought we could trust more than anyone else is one of the worst. People who discover their partners have been unfaithful to them go through a hurricane of different emotions anger, sadness, shame, dejection, sometimes even relief. It’s a grieving process, not of a person that’s died, but of a relationship and level of trust that’s instantly disintegrated. In short, it sucks. (more…)

When you learn that the person you built your life around was unfaithful to you, the sense of betrayal can be almost unbearable. In a single moment, you are ripped from a life you have counted on and felt safe in. You may feel as though the rug has been pulled out from under you and now you are standing on nothing at all. Your relationship was a foundation for your life; now that it is gone, what can you possibly do? (more…)

In a way, you have been behaving like a person addicted to a drug. When a person is addicted to drugs, the drug gives, or gave, the person wonderful feelings. (That’s why someone gets addicted in the first place.) Similarly, the affair gave you wonderful feelings at some point; that’s why you got involved with it in the first place. (more…)

Some of these signs of a cheating spouse are ‘tongue in cheek’ while others are tell tale signs that commonly appear with a cheating husband or cheating wife. There is no copyright. Feel free to forward to those who might be interested. But please don’t change anything. (more…)
