Phone Calls
-
Look for suspicious phone activity. If he won't answer his phone around you, he might have something to hide. If he constantly or nervously checks his text messages, it can signal something is off. If he has to leave the room to make a phone call to check in with a boss or a friend or any other phone call that sounds harmless enough, he might be checking in with his wife. Chances are, if something feels strange or deceptive about his phone activity, he very well may be hiding another woman.
Questions
-
Married men often give dodgy answers about their life. If his life story skimps on the details, he has a thin tale about separating from his wife or won't give specifics about where he lives, works or hangs out, it is very likely he's trying to keep you from finding out about his wife or family. Ask for specifics. If he changes the subject or redirects focus on you, it might be time to ask yourself why he won't answer questions.

Times
-
If he only wants to meet up at odd hours and doesn't make dates during prime dating times, like the weekends, you might want to ask yourself what he is doing during those times -- or who he's spending prime dating time with. Sundays are often off limits if he has to spend the day with the family.
Dig Deeper
-
If he's raised red flags, dig a little deeper to see if you can get sensible answers. If he says he separated and pursuing a divorce, ask about his lawyer, when he moved out, the issues with his divorce. If he displays weird phone activity, ask for his home number. If he won't see you on Sunday because it's a church day, ask to go to church with him. Do a little investigative work, but don't go overboard. At some point, a relationship relies upon trust, so know when to back off and trust him. Use your best judgment.
