How Can I Tell if My Partner is Cheating on Me?
If you are worried that your partner may be cheating, it is essential to trust your intuition, listen to your gut, and pay attention to their mood and behavior. Be objective about their actions, and if you still aren’t satisfied with their answers, consider speaking to a professional who can help you sort through those feelings and give you the advice you need during this difficult time.
Your intuition.
When you are in a committed relationship, there’s a good chance that you and your partner have developed a sort of sixth sense for each other. When something is off, even if you can’t quite put your finger on it, the hair stands up on the back of your neck, or your skin crawls if this sounds like you, listen to that intuitive voice inside you.
Your intuition is telling you something; it could be anything from “don’t go out tonight” to “get out now.” Trust it and stick with what it tells you until more information becomes available. Remember: none of us is psychic (yet!). The only way we can know is through observation, so be attentive.
Your partner’s mood.
- Are they happy?
- Are they sad?
- Are they angry?
- Are they calm?
