Infidelity in relationships sometimes seems glamorous in the movies, but it is decidedly less glamorous when it happens to you. According to "The New York Times," estimates of infidelity run the gamut, from 1 percent to at least 15 percent of married women. If you suspect that your girlfriend or wife is unfaithful, look for 10 signs of cheating. One sign might not mean anything, but a combination of signs could point toward infidelity.
Change in Appearance
A sudden and drastic change in appearance could mean she's trying to impress someone new. If she begins to take more interest in how she looks, primps more or changes something about herself, she might be looking to attract someone new or conform to his tastes.
Emotional Withdrawal
If your usually needy girl stops looking for approval or doesn't talk to you as much, it might be because she is getting emotional support from someone else. She might try to deflect questions or decline to talk to you at all.
Defensive Behavior
You ask your girl why she came home late from work, and suddenly it becomes a yelling match. If she meets your questions with anger and defensiveness, she could be cheating. MadeMan suggests you watch her reaction to simple questions about her activities.
Computer Time
You notice that when you walk into the room, she quickly minimizes the window on her computer screen. Or she might change the passwords to her email, social networking profile or messaging service. She also might change her social networking profile to a limited view so you can't view her messages or friends. These are all bad signs.
Working Overtime
Does your girl tell you she is working late more often, but you don't see any benefits, such as a promotion or better pay? Or if she has a sudden need to talk about certain coworkers, that could point to an office affair, according to msn.com.
Shift in Focus
She might always have dreamed about having a baby or making a down payment on a house. If her focus suddenly changes to going out with her girlfriends or other aspects of her social life, that could mean that a new man in her life is shifting her focus away from the things she used to want to do with you.
Autonomy
Your girlfriend or wife always used to refer to "we" or make plans as a couple. Now she refers to herself in the singular, doesn't check with you about weekend plans and stops talking about your future. Her sudden autonomy could be the result of attention from another man, according to the website AskMen.
Dishonesty
Catching her in an occasional, simple lie could have a deeper meaning. Her dishonesty about small things like the whereabouts of a few dollars or how she spent her afternoon could be the gateway to larger lies about fidelity and how she spends her social time.
Change in Sex Life
Your wife or girlfriend used to be sexually satisfied and happy to connect with you in that way, but suddenly she is declining and going to bed early. Or, a woman who once was meek in the bedroom suddenly becomes sexually aggressive. Changes in sexual behavior could mean that she is engaging in a sexual relationship with a new partner.
Money Woes
Unexplained absence of money in your bank account, secret accounts and moving large amounts of cash could be a sign of a cheating girl, according to the website Families. She could be spending money on a new beau or planning to leave you.
