Signs of Infidelity

The question many people ask though they may never ask aloud is, " I wonder if she/he's cheating? ". I have seen a million and a half articles which will say that these are the top 10-20 signs your partner is cheating on you.

I have read the lists and been astonished because after reading them, not only was I convinced that my partner was cheating but I was equally convinced that I was as well!

It is rather humorous if you seriously think about each of the "tell-tale" signs that you are with a cheater. If they go out several times a day and showers afterwards, then they are a cheater.

The articles never take into consideration that it may be humid outside and that your partner simply wants to be refreshed for you. I know that I insist that my husband shower after coming in from the heat if there is to be any snuggling afterwards.

If they lock their phones then oh my goodness, you got it, they are cheating on you. Again, by this point I was certain that I was cheating because my phone is locked 24/7.

However, it was mostly security measures as I had someone in a public restroom meddle in my phone and they accidentally took a screenshot and if they had not, I would have never known about it. I have locked it since.

If you call them and they do not answer your call then guess what love they are cheating, I again feel at this point that I should be buying chocolate, flowers and downloading an Usher Raymond song.

I never, I mean never answer my phone calls unless they are business clients. If you are a friend or family member, I always call you back when I can feel free to talk without interruption.

Those rushed conversations where you only get a portion of the good gossip in sucks. I must call when I can hear everything you have to say without wondering what I missed.

So, apparently despite what the articles made me believe, I am not a cheater and your partner is probably not either. I am a bit nosey and maybe you or your partner have this issue as well but seriously if you have any questions regarding your partners behavior, try asking about it.

Not in a detective with a lead type manner but simply in a "out of curiosity with no judgement" type of manner. I guarantee you that it will have a greater response than unwarranted suspicions and sneaking around in a private eye type of way.

Besides, sometimes the explanation is rather a boring but true explanation. I know it is not as juicy as the stories we can come up with in our heads, especially mine but again true, nonetheless.
