(The Sun) CHEATING can be devastating and is one of the more challenging problems that you may face in a relationship.
Sometimes people are shocked to find out their partner is cheating, while others might guess it because of unusual behaviour.
While cheating isn’t always black and white, according to Private Investigator Aaron Bond from Bond Rees Private Investigations, there are some common red flags to look out for.
If your partner exhibits any of the following they could be cheating…
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
Aaron tells Fabulous: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
Aaron said: “If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out.”
Their libido changes
Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag, according to Aaron.
