The future of your relationship could depend on your ability to spot the telltale signs. Statistics shows that 50% to 70% of men cheat on their mates. These are the top 9 signs of to look out for;
Changes in Attitude, Personality & Eating Habits Be alert for changes in his attitude, personality or behavior. He may mention new people, places and things, while the people, places and things he normally talks about are no longer a part of his conversation. Even his tone of voice can be an important telltale sign. His eating habits can also change and be influenced or affected by his lover. He may develop a new preference for the type of food she eats, the way she likes her food prepared or the kind of restaurants in which she likes to eat.
His Physical Appearance Be alert for changes in his wardrobe, his grooming, his body, and his personal hygiene. A man having an affair will want to make himself more attractive and enhance his appearance. If he embarks on a drastic makeover, it’s probably not for you. More than likely he is trying to attract or impress someone else.
Work & Traveling Habits His work habits will undoubtedly change as his affair unfolds. Men often use their jobs as a cover for their extramarital affairs. Affairs generally require a considerable amount of time. Since there are only 24 hours in a day, your husband’s absences will become increasingly more frequent as he tries to steal time from other activities so he can be with his lover. He may also be traveling overseas for legitimate reasons. Business travel affords an unfaithful husband a unique opportunity to cheat away from prying eyes.
Financial Affairs Affairs cost money. If your husband has a lover, he’ll need to wine her, dine her, entertain her and buy her occasional gifts. No matter how carefully he tries to cover his tracks, sooner or later this will be reflected in the family finances. Check his wallet, his pants or jacket pockets, his desk or dresser drawers, the wastepaper basket, his closet shelves, his study, filing cabinets, his workshop. Keep your eyes open. You’ll be surprised what you can find.
His Phone & Online Usage Illicit affairs depend on repeated contact; many of which take place by phone. Many men take the risk of calling their lovers from home or having their lovers call them at home. Many wives discover their husband’s infidelity either directly or indirectly by the telephone. It is also common these days for a cheating husband to use e-mail to communicate with his lover.
His Car Your husband’s (or the family) car can be a rich source of telltale signs. The glove compartment, car seats (underneath and between), the underside of the visor, the ashtray, the side pockets or compartments, under the floor mats can reveal a lot of information.
Smells & Tastes Each person has his or her own unique smell or taste. You may be oblivious to it until it becomes replaced with something else. Pay close attention if your husband smells or tastes “different," or if something in your home or car just doesn’t smell “right." It may warrant closer investigation.
Invasion of Your Home It's not uncommon for a man who's cheating to invite his lover to his home. When this happens, it’s not unheard of for lovers to leave personal items behind--sometimes deliberately, for an unsuspecting wife to find. You will usually find evidence in your bedroom or bathroom if another woman has been in your home while you were away. But telltale signs of infidelity may turn up in other areas of your home, as well.
His Credit Card Be vigilant around the times of the year when gifts are usually exchanged. During the holidays and various other times throughout the year, you may find gifts or cards hidden around your home or in the car. Receipts or credit card bills for gifts may turn up shortly before or after Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
