It can be easy to overlook the signs that your partner is cheating especially if you trust them or you think that they are not capable of being unfaithful. You do not have to physically see your partner cheat, because there are cheating signs that you can watch out for.

1. Phone restrictions is one of the cheating signs

If your partner’s phone has a password and they do not share the password or allow you to browse through the phone, it might be a sign that they are hiding something. The right to privacy should not exist in a relationship because if you are good enough to get inside each other’s pants then it shouldn’t be a problem when you have to browse through the gallery, WhatsApp, messages, and also see their bank transaction history.

2. Not picking up certain calls when with you

When a partner ignores certain calls when with you don’t rejoice that they are giving you their undivided attention, chances are they are just trying not to get caught. Some partners even claim that it is their colleagues or clients calling them after hours that is why they will not pick up. Others can claim that it is an irritating family member or friends asking for money or wanting to meet up with them. Don’t be fooled by the caller’s name because Ana’s contact can be saved as Jack and vise versa.

3. Not available at certain times when you call

If your call is always a missed call when you call your partner and you have to wait for him or her to return the call, it might be a sign that they are not in an ideal environment to answer your call because they might be busy with the other partner.

4. Change of routine

If there is a sudden change of routine, then it should be a cause of concern. It can be a sign that SOMEONE or something is keeping them busy. Some examples of change can be:

• a partner who used to come back home early but now comes back late
• You used to meet often but now you meet less frequently
• Your partner used to be loving but now he or she is less affectionate
• They loved being indoors but now they are very outgoing
• Change in their image, they have suddenly become conscious of how they look
• He is not a neat freak and has not hired a helper but suddenly his apartment is always clean (someone might be cleaning)
• Sudden interest in activities that they were not interested in before.

5. Visits are always scheduled

If you are not allowed to surprise your partner at their workplace or home, it can be a red flag. For as long as all the visits are pre communicated, even if they have given you keys to their apartment, they might still bring someone over.

6. Don’t introduce you to their immediate family

It is easy for someone to introduce their side to their friends because anyways they are birds of the same feather. If your partner always makes excuses when they have to introduce you to their family, it can be a sign that they are not serious about you, or there is already someone else that has already been introduced to the family.

7. Certain items are not the way you left them

If some of your facecloth or clothing items or picture frame has been hidden or misplaced,  or a pack of condoms is suddenly missing, it might be a sign that someone else was there.

8. They don’t post your pictures on the social platforms

If your partner untags himself or herself from your posts or deletes your wall posts or comments about the relationship, it can be a sign that he or she does not want to upset potentials or his or her other partners.

9. There is leftover evidence

Some ladies like marking their territory, so they will leave behind evidence in the car or house. Some will leave a piece of their clothing items, jewellery, cosmetics, or even their hair. While others will leave lipstick marks on your man’s face or clothes. As for others, you will even be able to smell their perfume scent on the man’s body or clothing.

Many women are gaslighted, even if every form of evidence exists that another woman was in the vicinity they will choose to believe the lies. A cheater can convince you that the underwear is yours even though you know that you do not own such an item.

10. Instinct that your partner is cheating

In most cases, once you have a gut feeling that your partner might be cheating, it probably is true even though you do not have evidence. If you suspect it, don’t brush it off, it is the universe trying to send you a message.

11. They forgot the lies they told you

If your partner is cheating, they will sometimes forget the lies they told you because lies have a way of catching up with a person. Your partner might tell you that they are going to see their mom, then a couple of days when they have to go see their mom for real they forget that they have already lied to you about going to her.

12. Very interested in your schedule

When someone is cheating they might act interested in your schedule. They will want to know your daily schedule and call to check what time you plan on coming or arriving home so that they are also able to plan their cheating schedule.

13. They easily become irritable

If you suggest that they have changed or that they are cheating they easily get angry and play the victim card. They will never admit that they are cheating and they will make it seem like you are the one who is not putting in effort into the relationship.

14. The amount of cum during intercouse

If it is the first round of sex for the day and he has not masturbated yet the amount of ej@culate is very little, it can be a sign that he was busy elsewhere just before coming to you. This can be noticed only if the couple uses condoms.

15. Suspicious money habits

If your partner prefers to withdraw and keep cash instead of swiping his card, it can be a sign that he does not want to leave an audit trail because card transactions might show on the bank statement. So he rather pay for dates, hotels, and other expenses through cash and tell lies that he had to help out a friend or family member.

16. New moves in the bedroom

If your partner suddenly has new moves in the bedroom or suddenly directs you to try a certain style, it can either be that they are innovative, have received a revelation, have been doing research, or have learned it from their other partners.

17. Clears call and chat history

If you notice that your partner deletes chats and call history, it can be a sign that they are hiding an affair. Some also delete chats from you because they do not want the other partner to find out about you.

18. Your phone number is not stored on their phone

If your phone number is not saved on their contact list, it can be a sign that they are cheating because they do not want their other partners to find out about you.
