The idea of a spouse cheating on you is never a pleasant one. You might wonder if the signs of infidelity you notice are all in your imagination or if someone else is actually in the picture. Because accusing or asking your spouse about the possibility of him cheating can be an extreme step, it is a good idea to look for significant signs of infidelity before doing so.
Working Overtime a Lot
Working frequent overtime hours is a common sign of a cheating spouse as people generally cheat with people they are friendly or close with at work. Some good indicators that your spouse is not actually working overtime (but rather spending time with a lover) are that there is extra car mileage with no visible increases in your spouse's paycheck. You spouse might also avoid providing you information about who she is with or when she will return home. Other signs are that your spouse often returns from working overtime smelling like alcohol or perfume or has makeup on items of clothing.
Unaccountable Hours
Unaccountable hours can be a sign of infidelity for a spouse that has a lot of free time from owning a business or working at home. In the starting stages of an extramarital affair, your spouse might not be able to think of answers about where he has been or is going. For example, your spouse might often claim to have gone grocery shopping for a couple hours but didn't bring back anything.
Increased Interest in Appearance
If your spouse was once lazy about exercise and now will not miss out on a workout session, this could be a sign she is trying to impress a new sexual partner. An increased interest in exercise could also be accompanied by a sudden desire to purchase a new wardrobe to look and feel younger and thus more attractive to a prospective lover.
Increased Technology Usage
Another sign of possible spousal infidelity is that your spouse uses the phone and Internet much more often than before. A clearer giveaway of this is if your spouse also seems more guarded about you seeing who is calling or emailing, or changes email or social networking site passwords or protection levels when he once let you freely sign into the same accounts.
