The verdict may be perpetually out on the adage “once a cheater, always a cheater”, however, there are some fairly common mistakes cheaters make that nearly always reveal their adulterous ways.
– They believe they won’t get caught.
– They are less intimate with their partner, often making excuses that don’t make sense to avoid intimacy.
– Their communication patterns with their partner change – usually decreasing amount and depth of communication over time.
– Their behavior changes to eliminate transparency or their partner’s access to their cell phone, computer and credit card bills.
– They have sudden or unusual changes in work schedule or number of hours spent at work per week.
– They come home wearing different clothing, often with a variety of excuses at the ready when confronted about their attire.
– They come home with unusual scents on their clothing, skin or hair such as unfamiliar perfumes/colognes or cigarettes (if they don’t smoke).
– They forget or overlook notes, phone numbers or suspicious receipts in pockets, purses or wallets.
– They allow others to scratch, bite or leave other visible marks on their skin.
– They are unreachable for unusual periods of time, without explanation.
– They take up new hobbies or activities they previously had no interest in and exclude their partner.
