How would you know if the person is cheating on you?

Do I rely on intuition? Should I just trust and believe? If the person had cheated on you... will he do it again? Will true love change all that?

I knew my X was cheating when I dreamed it...It was so real it really bothered me. I would ask him about things that were in my dreams. Like "who do we know that has a red truck" or "do you know someone who is dark headed." He always played dumb. But my feelings would be so strong and the dreams would not stop. I would ask him things such as what he would do in different situations. Then finally, I guess I was getting to close to the truth and he went out and got drunk and came home and said there was someone else. I told him, I already knew, I just wanted him to admite it. And I filed for Divorce. I never looked back. I do feel, if they do it once, they will do it again and I wasn't going to live wondering who it is this time or what kind of VD is he going to bring home. I feel if a person really loves you they won't cheat. And if they do. They didn't love you enough to begain with.. So move on and find someone who will love you the same way you would love them. Totally and truly..

Your intuition worked well for you. That happend to me too... I dreamed my boyfriend had a baby.. and so I relayed to him my dream and he said it was amazing...and during the course of the conversation when I asked if it was true..he admitted that he has 2 kids! I didnt know cos we are in a long distance relationship , and thought we had already met personally, I really havent seen or met his immediate family so I wouldnt know. But yeah... the dream helped. But your last statements struck me the most... they wont cheat if they truly love you... we only deserve those who will truly love us like we love them....thanks

I think this is a hard one really isn't it? I think when you really do know someone properly, you can tell when they are being honest with you or not. Also I think alot of it, is trusting your own gut instinct. If you feel really strongly that something is not how it should be then sometimes I think you should trust that feeling

How would you know it the person is cheating on you? You don't know. Worst thing you can do is start accusing him/her. This way you will be driving him/her into the arms of another person. Should you just trust and believe? Do you want to be trusted and believed? Of course you do. Then you should do that in return. If you waste your time being afraid someone is going to cheat on you, than you are losing out on the fun. Don't waste your life being afraid to love. If you find out the person cheated on you...will they do it again? Most of the time, I beleive Yes! When someone cheats and you know about it, then I personally believe the relationship is broken and will not be repaired completely. Like a glass that breaks, you can glue it back together, but you will always see it was broken. I do however have great respect for people who love each other so much, that they can forgive each other and move on to have a good relationship with each other. Personally, I don't believe I could. Take care.

My instincts were clouded by some other major events recently and I did not see the signs. I have put complete trust in this person and he betrayed my trust. The thing is he still loves me and would not let me go, but he also can't seem to let go of the other girl either. He has revealed all I needed to know and kept all communication channels open since then, probably in a bid to regain my trust. I really appreciate that. He has not made any final decisions and I will leave it to God. There's only so much I can do - I have talked him through from a religious perspective about what he has done to me and his family, I have appealed through emotions, I have prayed for us. The circumstances are very clear about what he should do - return to me and leave the girl, but he has reservations about it. When he does leave the girl, I will put my full trust in him again and pray that he won't do it again. Like I said, we can only do so much. We can plan for everything, but not everything will turn out the way we planned.

Some people are quick to say to leave the person even if you are married or in a committed relationship... but it's never that easy. I hope your partner realizes how forgiving and loving you are.... God bless your efforts. He only knows whats best for you.

love the topic, can feel the pain, hope everything will turn out for the best for me. All the signs were there i just did not want to beleive it so i did not. When it was over and looking back your friends tell you what they knew and it can rip you in two. I bleive once a cheater always a cheater, they maybe able to change in another relationship but as long as it is with you it will not change. Sorry anf good luck i hope i am way off base.

It's harder for me to tell because it's a long distance relationship and I want to trust and believe him with all my heart. We are going to meet up again soon. If I see any signs that he is still cheating on me, I guess that will be IT.

I would rely on intuition. I found some love related text messages in my ex's cell phone that he tried to say was for his roommate but I didn't buy it. He lost all my trust and now I try to trust when my man now tells me he loves me and trust when he says he is loyal to me.

There's usually obvious signs when someone is cheating...staying out late, secret phone calls, increase in arguements and a definate lack in intimacy. If you think your partner is cheating, you have choices to make...do you want to know or would you rather be blind about it? If you want to know, start checking things out, see if your partner is where they say they are going to be, check their emails and phone, try talking to them. As to if they will cheat again, I believe once a cheater, always a cheater. I think once they get away with it, they'll keep doing it. Not to mention you have to wonder what they will be bringing to you in the form of STD's and such. Personally, once someone cheats on me, I'm done. I want someone I can trust and that I know is only for me...not some snake in the grass cheater. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Love and cheating are two quite different things. I a lover cheat to other one meant that the cheater is not fare in love. Love means mutual understanding and living for one another. love is name of true patience. there is no capacity of cheating in love affairs. If I come to know that my lover is cheating me I would like to tell her that it is not good. If she stop the cheating or black mailing then I will carry it all otherwise I would become alert and, and I don't know what should I do. It is not possible to stop the love affairs.
