Statistics confirm that the staggering percentage of infidelities directly affect the divorce rates in this country. The statistics show that roughly 30 to 60 percent of married couples in the United States will engage in an extramarital affair during marriage, with men constituting the higher percentage in incidents of infidelity. While it is impossible to develop a precise list of every sign of infidelity, there are prevalent signals and inevitable mistakes that the cheating partner is apt to make.
The Phone
Cell phones have facilitated a certain security in unfaithful partners; yet, they have also enabled telltale signs of infidelity. Habitually leaving his phone on the kitchen counter, after deleting the call history and text messages, taking his phone into the bathroom or never allowing you to be left alone with his phone, are all significant signs that he is hiding something. Suddenly, he is paying the cell phone bills, but you don't recall seeing any of the bills before he paid them. Even though cell phones have assisted cheating, they are also one of the most common ways a partner discovers the infidelity.
The Computer
The computer has promoted the ease in which an unfaithful partner meets and communicates with the partner in the affair; but the computer offers substantial evidence against a cheating partner. If your partner is spending extreme amounts of time "working" on the computer while you're sleeping, but the next morning, you discover the browsing history is empty and the email passwords have been changed, it's a sign that your partner is acting in a deceitful manner.
Communication With You
Communication is an essential aspect in any successful relationship, but even subtle changes in your interaction can signify infidelity; calling you more than usual, wanting to know your hourly schedule, failing to call you or shortened conversations are all indications of suspicious behavior. If it is unusual for your partner to encourage you to spend more time with your friends or if he is spending increasing amounts of time out with the "guys," you have a basis for being apprehensive about his conduct.
Changes in Behavior Patterns or Habits
Reading your partners changing habits or strange behaviors allows you to identify the crucial indicators of infidelity. Eating healthy meals is out of character for your partner; he has been skipping dessert and going to the gym instead. He offers to run errands for you, when he used to complain at the mere suggestion. He starts dyeing his hair, wearing cologne, changing his style of clothes. He becomes irritable when you ask simple questions or engage in casual conversation.
Sex Life
Your intimate relationship with your partner reveals definite signs of infidelity; making love has reverted to merely the physical act of sex. He consistently makes excuses that he isn't in the mood, or if he does sexually engage with you, he is emotionally withdrawn. Often aggression replaces tenderness in the bedroom, and he may begin to make unusual sexual requests.
Projection
Confronting your partner with suspicions of infidelity often leads to projection; instead of admitting or denying the accusation, he becomes defensive, angry and accusatory of you and your behavior. He passes the blame onto you; he projects the suspicions or the facts that have been used to challenge him onto you.
