If you're feeling doubtful when it comes to the fidelity of your husband, it can almost drive you crazy. Infidelity is one of the most-cited reasons for divorce, but it can sometimes be difficult to prove. For those who need more than their gut instinct to help them determine whether they should be concerned about their husband cheating, consider the various signs that unfaithful husbands often display. Although they aren't for certain, when combined with other circumstances they can help to confirm or dispel suspicions of infidelity.

He's More Private Than Usual

As a rule, men are usually more private people than women are, making it difficult to use as grounds for accusations of infidelity. If he insists on more privacy than usual, that's another thing entirely. Being more guarded with his phone calls and computer use, and finding it more difficult to answer routine questions are some signs of cheating in men. It should also raise a red flag if he accuses you of "being nosy" or invading his privacy when you ask questions that he would otherwise be willing to answer.

He Showers You With Gifts

Most women wouldn't turn away a husband willing to shower them with gifts. While some women have husbands always willing to give them gifts, others do not. Giving gifts of diamonds, tickets, trips, flowers---these are warning signs of a cheating husband when they are out of place and all of a sudden. Niceties that are out of character can be of the most telltale signs of a straying mate.

He's Picking Fights with You

Picking arguments is another telltale sign of a straying husband. Cheating husbands often incite argument to have an excuse to leave the home. He may also be more prone to arguments because he's feeling guilty. Men who are naturally confrontational or argumentative might be hard to gauge, but if he seems to want to argue more than usual lately, this is a red flag.

Weirdness With Work

Having to work late, go in to work early, work weekends or take mandatory "business trips" more often than usual are some of the most significant signs of a straying husband. Some men are just hard workers, but when combined with some of the other signs of cheating, it can be a major warning sign.

Extra Primping

Another one of the telltale signs of a husband who's up to no good is excessive primping. More frequent haircuts, new colognes, new suits in the closet, new underwear---these can indicate infidelity. If he's spending more time in the mirror than usual and paying extra careful attention to his appearance, he might be cheating.

Changes in Your Sex Life

Changes in your sexual relationship with your husband due to his wishes is often a sign of infidelity on his part. If he is no longer seems interested in sex with you or wants to try new things in the bedroom all of a sudden, it may be an indication that he's having an affair.
