You’ve suspected for days, maybe weeks. Something is wrong or off between you and your spouse, and you’re beginning to wonder if maybe they might be…. NO! That’s not possible. Other people have affairs, not you two; what you have is special. Then again there was that thing last week, and when you brought it up, your spouse twisted it around as if YOU were the one with the jealousy issue! ”You’re just being paranoid–you’re crazy for thinking like that!” they said. Still there’s that nagging doubt in your mind.
Here are some of the signs of a spouse that may be cheating. These behaviors are only some of the indicators of a cheating spouse! If your spouse has one or two of these behaviors, and there is a legitimate reason and a mutual agreement (such as you two talk about it and agree to try to lose weight…and they’ve gone a little obsessive about it), these signs do NOT prove infidelity. But when you observe several, or maybe MOST, of these behaviors, your marriage may be in trouble! Again, let me reiterate that these behaviors are only some of the indicators of an affair–to see “ALL the Signs Your Spouse May be Cheating,” please click on the link to see our article!
