One of the unfortunate truths about relationships is that while someone might initially be committed to you, your partner\u2019s behaviour might change for the worse over the course of your relationship. Whether these negative patterns come from her own personal insecurities, distrust in you as a partner<\/a> or maybe even just plain spite, cheating is one of the most painful outcomes. To protect yourself from a cheating significant other, there are a few steps you can take that will help you catch some of the signs she is cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cheaters have recognizable behavior patterns<\/a> that you can spot fairly easily \u2014 if you know what red flags to look for. In this post, we\u2019ll provide an overview of common signals your partner might (unwittingly) show if she\u2019s being unfaithful so you can start training your eagle eye to spot the warning signs. We\u2019ll also give you an extra digital upper hand with some helpful digital tools you can use across your devices to protect yourself \u2014 and your heart \u2014 from an unfaithful spouse or girlfriend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who cheat often have similar signs in their behavior that signal they might be having an affair, here are a few of the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s one thing if your girlfriend is on her phone often; it\u2019s another if she doesn\u2019t let it out of her sight. If your girlfriend gets jumpy when you come near her phone, this can be a sign that she is trying to hide the fact that she\u2019s communicating with somebody else. Even if she\u2019s not outwardly texting or taking calls, she might have a few apps downloaded that will hide her secret illicit communications<\/a>. To see if this is the case, ask to see her phone to try and find a photo you remember her taking, and watch her reaction. If she gives you the phone immediately and doesn\u2019t ask questions, this can be a good sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your girlfriend gets oddly shifty about inviting you out to meet her when she goes out with her friends, this can be a red flag that she\u2019s cheating on you. This can happen because she might exhibit cheating behaviors when she\u2019s out at bars, such as flirting with other people publicly, or she might be lying about who she is meeting to begin with. Remember that while a girls night out is necessary now and then, your partner should want<\/em> to spend time with you. Repeatedly not inviting you to places where flirting behavior is common can be a definite red flag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If her social media habits have changed around these outings as well (i.e., she\u2019s not sharing as many Instagram stories as usual), that may be another sign that she is attempting to hide cheating behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Has PDA or intimacy come to a complete halt in your relationship? When a significant other is cheating on you, her interest in physical contact with you might dwindle. Whether it\u2019s because she is experiencing guilt over the fact that she\u2019s being unfaithful or because she\u2019s attracted to somebody else, avoiding physical contact can be an indicator of having an affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Has your girlfriend canceled plans with you recently in a way that\u2019s been last-minute, or has she made excuses to see other people on nights you had previously committed to? Avoiding plans to spend time together can indicate that her interests lie with someone else. On the flip side, if your girlfriend is suddenly extra-interested in your schedule<\/a>, or is constantly checking in about when you\u2019ll be home, this might be a sign she\u2019s trying to make sure you won\u2019t walk in on her \u201cother plans\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe you\u2019ve discussed living together with your partner, or maybe you\u2019ve had conversations about marriage that have seemingly stopped happening. If your girlfriend doesn\u2019t want to talk about your future together, or she sounds insecure about the longevity of your relationship, this can be a red flag that she is cheating. If you\u2019ve seen a shift in how your partner approaches these conversations, dig deeper. Set up space for you to explore what you want for the future, and ask why her priorities have changed. Do your best to stay honest and vulnerable here, doing so will encourage honesty and vulnerability on her end as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, despite your eagle eye for red flags in a relationship, a cheating partner might go the extra mile to hide her actions in a way that\u2019s almost impossible to track down. At this point you might find yourself looking for an external source to help you get the peace of mind you need in your relationship. Instead of turning to a friend, you can actually use technology to help trace some of the questionable contacts your girlfriend might be communicating with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spokeo offers a feature that helps uncover whether or not your significant other has hidden dating profiles<\/a>, so any secret accounts they might have in their name will easily pop up through a quick search. Another reverse lookup tool is the Reverse Phone Lookup feature,<\/a> which allows you to easily plug in an unidentified number and search through a database, which may help you identify who your partner may be communicating with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t let a cheating partner get away with the unthinkable \u2014 and don\u2019t waste your time being frustrated with the unknown. Instead, use a service like Spokeo to expose an unfaithful partner and make time for someone who will treat you and your relationship with the respect you deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the unfortunate truths about relationships is that while someone might initially be committed to you, your partner\u2019s behaviour might change for the worse over the course of your…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":124,"featured_media":23507,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[618],"tags":[680],"class_list":["post-23166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-relationships-advice-how-to","tag-know-him"],"yoast_head":"\n1.
