Cheating- The Real Story
Monday, August 31st, 2009Does your partner work late? Do you notice the amount of company functions that your partner has gone to without you? They take their “friends” out more often then they use to? These signs could lead to a secret that every couple is scared of, cheating.
Some Common Signs of Cheating
Lose something green in your wallet? If your noticing that your partner has bills sent to the office, doesn’t show you the bill, just tells you the amount, has them shredded, or even locks them in files there’s a chance something is going on. Their attitude begins to change? Most often, they don’t want to be around their family, and their money seems more important.
You feel avoided. They begin to seem annoyed with working and with your own kids. They become defensive when you ask them about affairs, and they seem more secretive about things, and start to become lazy. Their daily schedule begins to look different to you, and they leave suspicious items, like gift cards and gifts, laying around. You get yelled at for looking through their cell phone or the PDA. You could find pictures or unknown numbers on those items, and they wouldn’t want you to question these. They may start coming home late, and smelling like alcohol.
Other signs of cheating include them picking fights, stomping out of the house, not wanting to shop with you, not wanting to come with you to visit your family, and “forgetting” their wedding ring. They start to smell different and care about what they look like. They work on their days off and on weekends, and their work hours are longer then normal. They never answer their phones. They are on the phone more then normal, and they get messages long after you have gone to bed.
Your partner may tell you that they aren’t cheating, you are. Your sex pattern may change, and they may be constantly asking you what your schedule is, so their affair can be worked out.
When it boils down to it, you need to listen to your gut feeling, no matter what your heart is saying. This could end badly, and painfully for you if you don’t follow your feelings.
