Many so-called signs of cheating are often misinterpreted innocent behavior. In this article I'm going to give you ten solid signs that your spouse or significant other is cheating on you. None of these should be taken lightly. If you recognize even one of these signs you might have problem. If you recognize more than three you certainly need to get the truth. Pay very close attention to this list of you want to know how to catch a cheating spouse.

1. Starting arguments for no reason - Many times the person who's cheating will create fake reasons to have arguments with you. If these unexpected arguments always end with them leaving the house to "cool down" you really need to worry. This is an age old tactic that not only gets them away from you and free to cheat but also makes you feel as though you did something wrong. While they're out playing, you're at home thinking that there's something wrong with you.

2. Accusing You of Cheating - Another classic cheating sign. When someone feels guilty about something they often assume the other person is doing the same thing. In fact, they may actually hope that you are so that they can catch you and justify their own behavior. When you know that you've done nothing that's even remotely suspicious and are getting accused of it, you can almost guarantee that you are the victim of cheating.

3. Going out with friends without you - It works like this: you and your loved one used to do everything together. Now they suddenly ask if it's okay if they go out with the boys or girls after work once a week.This is sign that they're already cheating or that they are attempting to hook up with someone new. While there's nothing wrong with couples doing some things on their own, when one party suddenly wants to start doing something they had no interest in before you need to be wary. Something is not right.

4. Sudden interest in appearance - Is that slob you married dressing up to go out to the hardware store? Is your wife who used to go to you son's soccer practice in sweats and a baseball cap now wearing sun dresses and makeup? Who are they trying to impress all of a sudden? When your spouse takes a new interest in their appearance and it has nothing to do with you; you need to take note. If they're not already cheating they have someone in mind. I guarantee it.

5. Sudden increase or decrease in physical relationship - Guilt does amazing things to people. Sometimes the cheating spouse will completely stop having a physical relationship with you because they feel guilty "cheating" on their secret lover. Other times they will be even more physical with you because they feel guilty cheating on you. And sometime they just lose their desire to engage in lovemaking with you because they're getting all the affection they need with their affair.

6. Knowing details about places you've never been - Cheaters very often slip up with this one. They have completely secret life outside of your relationship that includes doing things and going places that the two of you have never done together. They often forget this and talk about things that are completely foreign to you. If they know details about a place the two of you have never been to or suddenly have knowledge about a hobby or other activity that you're not aware they have ever engaged in, you can almost guarantee they have a secret life that you know nothing about.

7. Talking excessively about a co-worker - If you spouse has fallen in love or is having an affair with a coworker they have a unique problem. They are so excited about this new love but can't tell anyone. Being the closest person in their lives they often will share things about this person to you, if they're cheating with a co-worker because the "think" they can talk about them without causing suspicion. We normally don't talk about co-workers to our spouse, unless we're complaining about them. When you start hearing about what a certain co-worker did outside of work, you need to get to the bottom of what's really going on.

8. Leaving the house without you - Most couples will ask the other party if they want to tag along when they need to run errands. It's just habit even when we know they're going to say no. If your spouse suddenly starts to leave the house regularly without you, or even worse, makes up reasons for you to stay home, you need to insist that you go along. It's easy to see if they are miserable on the entire trip out, which means they really did not want you along. They may even decide not to go at all. This is serious sign they may be cheating.

9. Suspicious phone behavior - Sudden hangups, leaving the room when receiving a phone call, or hearing the classic "I can't talk right now" are all signs of suspicious cell phone behavior. When you ask who it was and they claim it was one of their friends and they just didn't feel like talking you need to ask yourself if this is normal behavior from them. Start reviewing the phone numbers on your bill, something is not right.

10. Suddenly stops being friendly with a mutual friend - Do you have a friend of your sex that your spouse seems to be avoiding whenever they're around? Or only makes small talk with them when they do talk? When two people who are friends start messing around they often go out of their way to make things look innocent. When couples are together and two people seem to not talk to one another either they can't stand each other or they might be having an affair. Especially if they used to talk or flirt a lot. That kind of behavior suddenly ending is bad sign for you.

Now that you know the signs, be vigilant and don't be the victim of cheating.
