What is Cheating?
Cheating, also known as infidelity, refers to a person in a monogamous romantic relationship engaging in emotional or sexual relations with someone else without their partner's consent.
Signs of Cheating
While there is no definitive way to determine if a partner is cheating, there are several signs that may indicate infidelity:
1. Protectiveness with electronic devices: A partner who is overly protective of their devices or defensive about their online activities may be hiding something.
2. Periods of unreachability: Unexplained disappearances or lack of communication may indicate time spent with someone else.
3. Changes in sexual interaction: An increase in sexual interest or requests for different types of sex may be a sign of infidelity.
4. Inconsistent explanations: Lies and inconsistencies in a partner's story may indicate deception.
5. Altered schedule: Unexplained changes in work schedule or routine may indicate time spent with someone else.
6. Uncomfortable friends: Changes in behavior or attitude from a partner's friends may indicate knowledge of infidelity.
7. Inconsistent expenses: Unexplained changes in spending habits or large cash withdrawals may indicate financial support for someone else.
8. False accusations of cheating: A partner who accuses others of cheating may be projecting their own behavior.
9. Hyper criticism: Sudden criticism of everything you do may be a sign of cognitive dissonance.
10. Intuition: An unexplained feeling or suspicion that something is wrong may be worth exploring.
