When you first got married, you may have never thought that your spouse would cheat on you. The two of you were deeply in love and may have been inseparable. However, time has a way of changing a relationship, and now you may feel as though there is a distance between you that was not there before. Concerns that your spouse may have found someone new may have come to mind on several occasions recently. The fact is that not every relationship that goes through a rough patch involves infidelity. However, the feeling of distance between the two of you that was not previously there is a sign that you may want to investigate further.
Looking for Signs
A cheating spouse may be great at covering his tracks, or he may leave behind a number of signs. You can check his cell phone for missed calls, numerous incoming or outgoing calls and texts from a number you don’t recognize and more. Check credit card statements for charges to hotels, flower shops and restaurants. Do the restaurant tabs look too high for one person? Consider if your spouse is working more than usual or if you have caught him in a lie recently about his whereabouts. Also, many people who are involved in a new relationship will take extra efforts with their appearance. Consider if he is dieting, taking extra steps to groom himself well, has started working out more and so forth.
More Significant Evidence
The fact is that the signs noted above may be indicative of a cheating spouse, but this is not foolproof evidence that he is cheating. Your spouse may be able to explain away each of these things to ease your mind, but he may actually be cheating. The only way to know for certain if he is cheating is to catch him in the act. You can consider following him for a few days if you have the time available to do so. This may mean sitting outside his office and watching who he enters and leaves with and where he goes. Most people, however, do not have the time available to spend hours on end spying on their spouse. A better option may be to hire the services of a private investigator. A private detective can tail your spouse and can provide you with photographic evidence that he is cheating.
If you have had a nagging feeling that your spouse may be cheating on you, you likely have very good reasons for your suspicions. While sometimes the suspicions are unwarranted and are simply the product of an overactive imagination, suspicions can be confirmed when you hire investigative services to work on your behalf. It is best to have conclusive evidence one way or another, and an investigator can provide you with the evidence you need.
