7 Signs You’re Dating a Cheater

While there’s no reason to get yourself into a tizzy over nothing, there are a few important things about monogamy for you to understand. First, the odds are low that your partner is going to cheat, so you can start by giving them the benefit of the doubt. And second, communication and awareness are key to addressing any issues that look suspicious — if you see one or more of the cheating warning signs below, talk to your partner about it ASAP, and consider checking out couple’s therapy.

1. Your partner has cheated before

Sadly the old wisdom holds water — cheaters cheat,. LThat’s why it’s inadvisable to marry someone who was cheating in an affair with you — when you’re the spouse, you’ll get cheated on. People who feel entitled to sex any way they can get it will always rationalize cheating and just keep doing it.

2. Habits change

If your partner suddenly or gradually stops coming home on time when they used to arrive home at 6 p.m. sharp, this is not a good sign at all. Habit changes, like dressing better, spending more money or dodging phone calls, are all big red flags that could indicate cheating.

3. Random gifts are given

“guilt gifts” are common when someone is getting nookie on the side. If a partner who has never thought to buy you flowers before suddenly starts bringing home roses on the regular, something may be amiss

4. New bills pop up

unidentifiable charges on a credit card are often one of the easiest ways to catch a cheater.

5. Work becomes secret

Remember those super-adorable conversations you used to have about what you were doing all day long, constant chats, emails and texts? While the flirty passion of the early days is likely to fizzle in a relationship over time, it can be a bad sign if your partner clams up completely about their time spent at work

6. The denial games begin

Because the person who was cheated on will be fearful of the infidelity happening again. They will be triggered and paranoid if there is any suspicion of subsequent cheating behaviors. A partner who remains defensive or is unwilling to help rebuild the trust that was lost may have “serial cheater” written all over them.

7. Your sex life starts to suffer

a partner who is suddenly not interested in sex, barring depression and other medical issues, may be getting their needs met somewhere else.
