How to know if your boyfriend is cheating on you

There are many reasons why men cheat, sometimes it could be that they have been in bad relationships in the past and they just can't put full trust in anybody again. In other words, that trust has been broken. For some, it's just a mistake but they keep dueling on the mistake. This means it might happen the first time as a mistake and they feel bad and feel hurt. It's a guilty pleasure. At some point, they go back to it and they do it again and again and again and at that point, it just becomes part of them. They no longer see anything wrong with it and they no longer feel guilty. Cheating is a breach of trust in a committed relationship. Cheating is what happens when vows and promises are broken in a relationship. But there's more to it than just sex. You may wonder what other forms of cheating exist, other than sex. Cheating can happen in many forms. Many people associate cheating with just having sex with someone outside your committed relationship.

Several times, the consequences of their actions are known to them only after they have been caught. Before that, they will keep making excuses, to make themselves feel good. They give themselves reasons why they are not in the wrong. In some scenarios, cheating can happen because you suspect your partner is cheating. Cheating could also happen when the woman has cheated and opened up to the man, but the man claims to have forgiven her, but he has not gotten over it and he ends up cheating on her.

Another form of cheating is emotional cheating, where the man is not having sex with someone else but having feelings for someone else and acting on it in other ways, other than sex. He could be calling them late at night, he could be having a sex chat with her. He could be hanging out with her at intimate places, they could be touching each other in intimate manners, and so much more.

How do you know when your boyfriend is cheating?

1. He is now more concerned about his looks:

If you notice that he no longer wears regular clothes and shoes, he changes his hairstyle, he is more concerned about his looks, then it is clear, he is trying to impress another woman. He has found someone else and wants to attract her to himself.

2. He seems uninterested:

He no longer pays attention to you. And at this point, it might already be too late, he no longer loves you. You will notice that your boyfriend is no longer concerned about you and your activities. Then something is wrong. He is probably cheating. Your boyfriend that used to be concerned about your well-being now doesn't seem to be interested.

3. He seems distracted all the time:

Something is obviously wrong. He is trying to protect himself from spilling the truth. So if he is guilty and he doesn't know how to go about it, he can’t help but act suspicious. The feeling is confusing initially, but as he continues cheating, he will lose all guilt with time. At this point, he might not even care if you find him out.

4. He doesn't tell you when he is going out:

So whenever he doesn't let you know about your current location, where he is going, when he is going there, who he is going to meet, then you should know that something is wrong. He doesn't want you to know this is about his life because he doesn't want to get caught. So he keeps lying to you or just doesn't tell you at all where he is going.

5. He is easily mad at you:

When you say a joke that used to make you guys laugh and at the moment it makes him angry, then you should know, something is wrong. Simple things that we just inside jokes become things that are really annoying to him, then there is someone else giving him love outside the relationship.

6. He has many female friends:

When your man has a disproportionate amount of female friends he is likely cheating on you. Most men have a balance of male and female friends and the female ones are usually work colleagues. Or when your boyfriend, has a lot of female friends that he hangs out with, doing lots of fun and interesting things with, you should be worried. One or two of them are having sex with him.

7. He is always on his phone:

If you see that your boyfriend now uses his phone more often than before, when you notice that, he no longer talks to you as much as before but prefers to be on his phone. When he guards his phone with his life unlike before, when he could just leave his phone hanging around. Then, you know, there's a problem. People that cheat are more likely to use their phones and computers. And they would much rather spend time texting, and use social media than talking with you. So, when you notice a change in his behavior, then you have something to be worried about.

8. He doesn't invite you to go out with his friends:

Whenever he is going out, he insists you stay at home and do whatever you like. He doesn't want you to know his friends or when he is meeting up with them. He doesn't introduce you to meet his friends because he is probably going elsewhere. More often than not, his friends know that he is cheating. And it makes them uncomfortable being around you. He could even go as far as outrightly lying about meeting with his friends and other times he wouldn’t care.
