Why do people in relationships cheat? It's practically the worst thing that you can do to someone you love. And yet it happens.

Such is the sad reality of life.

I am willing to bet many people have wondered whether their partners have cheated on them at some point. Some have a reason for their concerns, but others don't.

However, some reasons for your suspicions stare you in the face.

For instance, how have been your friends been acting towards you lately?

Friends Might Get Nervous And Embarrassed Around You When Your Partner Cheats

Yes. Your friends can know about your straying partner before you do.

But this is not a foolproof reason to label your partner a cheater. There are all sorts of reasons your friends might be acting strange whenever you mention your partner.

But if you had suspicions you were being cheated on, then it can add considerable validity to your suspicions.

Being Accused Of Cheating By Your Partner

When many people are guilty, they project it by accusing others of the mistake they have made.

And let's be honest. Someone who is always suspicions you are having an affair might have a hard time believing that it's possible to remain faithful in a relationship.

Private Calls Can Also Be A Sign

As you already know, all relationships are based on communication. When your partner is having an affair, they will have to communicate with the person.

Obviously, this will be done in a way that makes you less likely to find out. That is why your partner will usually walk out to take calls, or seem unusually possessive of their phones.

But don't accuse your partner of cheating just yet based on their secretive communications. Maybe your birthday is coming up and there is a surprise party for you in the works.

Changes In Dressing Style

Does your partner dress better these days? Don't take it lightly. It is worth wondering who they are trying to impress.

Try asking if you can join in as they head out. The reaction should say it all.

Unnecessary Arguments

You were getting along just fine. But out of the blue, your partner starts an argument over the most ridiculous thing and goes overboard with it.

This might be an excuse to get away from you to go see another person. But again, it might be a sign of exhaustion and stress.

Maybe there are some unresolved issues between the two of you. Confirm everything before you jump to any conclusions.

Cheating happens in relationships, unfortunately. There are many kinds of signs that can tell you if it's happening. The above signs should make you suspicious; not certain. If you cannot take it anymore, be honest with your partner and ask them directly if they are cheating or not.
