Have you ever been cheated on? What are somes signs that a spouse may be cheating? This has been on my mind since my husband was supposed to come up to join me for the week at my mothers house and commute to work since it is not that far. Well all I have gotten this week are excuses and after the first 3 I am beginning to worry. I was just wondering if this is like the first sign and what to look for. I got upset that he was not coming after the 3rd excuse and he got all defensive- this is out of charachter for him. What do you think?

I've been cheated once,it really broke my heart.But I'm over it now. If I were in your position,I think I would track him and see what he was doing actually.Perhaps that's not appropriate,but I need to make sure. I really hope that can be true. God bless!

Yeah tracking him or following him had come to mind. I just wonder if I am over-reacting or what. Then I wonder if I even want to know. Denial is a lovely thing sometimes. It is def rolling around in my mind though and it probably always will until I try and find out for sure.

Yes I have. Some signs are, changes in mood and behaviour. New friends or old friends suddenly reappearing in their lives and so they always make excuses to be going out, suddenly working more overtime. Stag dos of fellow workers seemingly everyother weekend and ones where it would be easier for them to stay out. Lack of interest in you sexually, and not seeming to want you to touch them. Being dissatisfied with their current life and suddenly wanting more out of it, reminiscing about the times when they were single. Disappearing to the toilet more often than they used to and suddenly carrying their mobile with them everywhere they go not allowing out of their site. Turning a mobile onto vibrate. Getting defensive about things and turning everything on you so that you feel that it is you that is being unreasonable. I read in your other responses about tracking, be careful because if he is not it will cause all sorts of aggravation and trust issues. But if you are absolutely 100% certain that he is then make sure that you are ready to face it, being fired up about it and actually finding out its true are two totally different feelings, and the emotional aspect of it all is unbelievable. I really hope that he is not cheating and that there is a perfectly good explanation for it all, good luck xx

well it could be a sign, but maybe something else is going on. Maybe he does not like to stay at your parents home? maybe he is having other issues going on that is making him tell you excuses or perhaps he is depressed. I would ask him if something is wrong or if there is something else before thinking there is cheating going on. AT least give benefit of doubt first you never know it could be something much less of an issue than cheating....

Yeah you start by finding out whats going on....Just give him surprise visists as an excuse of surprise, and there r several things that can be done without him noticing, if u didnt find any evidence, u know ur doubts r wrong, but if you do, go on with all ur evidence and confront, b4 anything turns too serious. In either way, just try ur every way to find out.

I agree that you should track him. See what he's up to. If he finds out, and hes not guilty, then he should be able to understand your reasonings for doing so. Sure he may be a little hurt that you dont appear to trust him but reassure him that if he was in the same position the same circustances then what you have done would be an option for him. Also allow him to know you would feel the same way as him if you were in his position. Good luck.

I would track him and give him a surprise visit. Thats my best idea on that. Don't let him know what you are doing. I know you aren't supposed to hide things from your husband, but sometimes.. its not a bad idea. Also, if he has a cell phone, call the company that its through and get the last 5 or 6 numbers he's called. Either go to a pay phone and call these numbers just to see who they go to or dial *67 on your phone and then the numbers. That way it'll show up private on the incoming phones with caller ID. I've had to do this before. You may be surprises on what you find.
