There’s seldom a woman who can tolerate her cheater hubby. So, before you catch him red handed, we can offer you some of the warning signs:

A cheater, in the initial stages of his affair, is bound to have guilty feelings in his mind. So, he suddenly becomes more dutiful in fulfilling the requirements of his spouse. If your husband has started showing unnecessary attention towards you, then you have reasons to suspect that he is on his way to have an extramarital affair.

To diminish his guilty feelings, he starts giving you costly gifts. You can call these presents ‘guilt gifts’.

If you study your partner minutely, then you will surely stumble upon certain changes in his behavior and attitude. ‘He is not the same as he used to be’ – if your instincts say so; then you are in the right track.

As his affair grows, you turn into a disgusting object in his eyes. He just looks for chances to pick up a fight with you and walks out of home. These sorts of actions are nothing but creating opportunities for meeting his lover.

He is talking about the probability of ending your relationship. When you two start discussing about your future, he is the one to point out all the negative aspects.

You are observing frequent mood-swings in his behavior. As if he has just got escape from the prison, he looks cheerful when he’s leaving for office, but returns home with a gloomy face.

If your partner is thinking of running both his relationships simultaneously, he will surely face problems from both ends and once you read his face, it will show he is not quite at ease with himself.

You two are staying under the same roof and sharing the same bed, but the zing is missing somewhere. Previously, he used to chat with you for long hours, but now the level of interaction has dipped drastically.

All the likings and preferences of your spouse are going through a change. Suppose, earlier he was an avid baseball fan; now, he takes pleasure from the game of tennis. His choice of movies and music is not the same anymore.

His lack of self-esteem is evident from his behavior, because, though he may be having a roaring affair, deep inside he is yet to come in terms with his insecurities and guilty feelings.

Your husband criticizes you at every possible instance. The traits of yours that once made him besotted no longer appeals to him.

Your comments hurt him every now and then. Getting offended, he succumbs to depression.

Once his extramarital affair is in full bloom, you and your children become secondary and he turns a blind eye to his family.

Keep an eye on the crucial bathroom-door rule. Couples are supposed to leave the doors of their bathroom open in spite of the presence of his/her partners. But, if you find him getting extra cautious in closing the door, then it’s a clear signal of physical and mental distance between the two of you.

It has been ages since your partner has showered compliments on your looks, make-up, garments etc.

In the initial years of your courtship he used to utter ‘I love you’ innumerable times a day. But, now he has stopped saying those simple, yet precious words.

Whenever you do something nice to him, it reminds him of all his guilt and he feels helpless.

He will try to find excuses for laying the blame of cheating on you. It’s just the matter of turning the table without any evidence.

These days he is enjoying the company of his friends more.

Compassion, affection, and friendship –these words do not carry any meaning in your husband’s equation with you.

He reminds you constantly that your relationship has hit a dead-end.

Making love has become a thing of the past. Even if it happens, he acts just like a robot in the bed. While having sex, he looks quite indifferent and preoccupied with other thoughts.

Watching TV or reading a book brings him more joy. He seems totally discontented while talking to you.

He cracks such kinds of jokes that you haven’t heard from him before.

Your children, who once were the cynosure of his eyes, have become some sort of burden. The emotional attachment that they had with their father seems lost.

He has built an invisible wall around him. He has turned into a very private person, but only at his home.

You get awaked at midnight hearing your spouse murmuring the name of a particular person. And this is not a single instance, these things are happening quite often.

Marital discord is something that other members of the family and close acquaintances can easily apprehend. Whenever they ask whether there’s anything wrong between you two, then your ill feelings might be true.

He has cancelled your long-cherished vacation plans for no specific reasons.

You are trying to call him over the phone, but his phone is either switched off or out of reach. And this is occurring day after day. Sometimes, his mobile is going on ringing and he is not in a mood to receive your call.

He is all set to go to the office party or picnic without you!

Of late, he is not returning home on time.

He is receiving more calls during night. Whenever a call comes, he goes outside the room with his phone.

He becomes too particular about his grooming sessions. Longer time in taking bath, regular shaving, and buying expensive clothes are some of the major indications.

Overnight, he has turned into a fashion conscious man and has just gone for a trendy haircut.

You can’t see the wedding band in his hand. His excuse ‘It doesn’t go with my image!’

After he arrives home, you smell a different perfume while giving him a hug.

He is not making eye contact while talking to you.

You find lipstick clinging to his clothes.

…So, have you got enough clues? They will definitely help in playing the spying game on your ‘dear’ hubby!
