Your spouse has to work late AGAIN! Do you spend nights up wondering when your spouse may be getting home? Do you feel like your world has taken a sudden change, but you have been left out of it? I know that there are many questions you may ask if you THINK your spouse is cheating on you.
Below are some typical signs of a cheating spouse. However, I don’t want you to break up your home over signs that your spouse may be cheating. Actually, I want to ask you to build your home from this. Your spouse is not cheating on you because the other person is prettier, more handsome, has more muscle, or is thinner… NO! You both have just lost interest and lost your way slightly. There IS a way to put your relationship BACK on track. I will give you the Top 10 signs of a cheating spouse; YOU just need to decide what to do with it.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • An Understanding WHY
  • A Plan to refocus your relationship
  • A MAGIC touch of Making Up
  1. Step 1

    Look for changes…
    Your partner may show more affection and be more loving than what has been shown lately. They may even buy you small gifts for no reason. They feel guilty for his/her actions so they feel that they can continue to buy your love.

  2. Step 2

    Neater appearance…
    Has your spouse been dressing nicer lately? Maybe he/she may be finding more excuses to buy more new clothes.

  3. Step 3

    Does your spouse want to be alone more?
    Have there been more business trips, that are emergencies or last minute? Is your spouse spending more time at work? How about is he/she just finding more reasons to go out alone? This can be a good indication that there are other actions going on.

  4. Step 4

    Money Transactions…
    Another good sign that your spouse is cheating, there are cash withdrawals being made and you don’t know where the money is going. Or there are receipts for items you have never seen.

  5. Step 5

    Recent Cell Phone Calls…
    Although this one is a little sneaky, look at your partner’s cell phone. Are there any numbers that are repeated? Were these calls made at unusual times during the day?

  6. Step 6

    Credit Card Bills…
    Are there any local restaurant transactions that were made? Do you recall being at any of these dinners?

  7. Step 7

    New Scent on Clothes…
    While doing laundry do you notice any new scents of perfume or cologne (ones that you don’t wear). Are there any stray lipstick markings?

  8. Step 8

    Extra Unnecessary Miles on Your Car…
    Check the mileage of the car being used in the morning for a week. Are there any unnecessary miles being traveled? If so then obviously extra trips are being made.

  9. Step 9

    Computer Use…
    No, I’m not saying check your partner’s email. Just see if your partner has been to any chat sites, social networking sites, or dating sites lately.

  10. Step 10

    You Could Just Ask…
    It might be a long shot but you could just sit down with your partner and ask him/her; there is always a possibility they may tell you the truth. Sometime the weight of guilt is too much to bear and your spouse will need to get the weight off of his/her shoulders.

  11. Step 11

    Of course, there are many other signs but these are some of the most obvious tell tale signs. Once you do find out if your spouse is cheating on you it is up to you to break up your relationship or FIX it. It only takes a little magic. If you do choose to fix your relationship I suggest that you look at the plan in The Magic of Making Up Once You Know If Your Spouse Is Cheating.

Tips & Warnings
  • If your spouse or partner is willing to sit down and talk with you about his/her actions be prepared for the worst. Keep a calm, cool head as they are finally confiding in you.
  • If you are willing to give your partner one more chance, put a plan together for the both of you. Take a look at The Magic of Making Up Once You Know If Your Spouse Is Cheating (Hundreds of couples and families have been saved by the advice this site holds).
  • GOOD LUCK! I'm rooting for you!

on 11/15/2008 Good advice, If i may add a tip just accuse but once you get the facts I agree talk about it, It's a tough road to overcome. One not many people are strong enough emotionally to get through, Either the one who was cheated on cheats or the one who did does it again.

Someone cheats ONLY when they loose respect for the other person, Whatever reasons that lead up to that should of been outwardly expressed for years.

No matter how you find out always remember it will somehow become your fault for stalking, so when its time to confront have at least one specific detail o fact that way your partner is likely to admit it. but confessions is an ehow on it's own
