Signs of a Cheating Husband - How to Tell If Your Husband is Cheating

There often comes a time in a marriage where you find yourself wondering about the honesty of your husband. Perhaps he's begun to act strangely, or has pulled away. He might be keeping odd hours at the office, or doesn't come home at all some nights. Whatever the case, if you feel he might be cheating, it's important to look into the matter. But before jumping to any conclusions, sit down and look at the signs. While every person, and every couple, is different, there are a few signs that could spell out trouble for the relationship.

The most obvious sign that something is wrong is a lack of physical touch. If your marriage has always had a healthy level of intimacy, a sudden withdrawal by your husband means that something is wrong. There are several factors that can cause this. Think about the past few months. Have you become withdrawn yourself? If something has happened in either of your lives that has added a large amount of stress or grief, this could be causing the sudden withdrawal.

However, if your life seems fairly normal and he has begun to pull back, either all at once or over a period of time, it may be a sign that something is wrong. When a man is cheating, he withdraws from his wife emotional and physically, and begins to use this new woman as an outlet for his needs. He may withdraw out of guilt because he cannot touch you without remembering what he has been doing behind your back. It can also happen gradually if he is trying to pull away from you to justify his feelings for the other woman.

Another obvious sign is a change in lifestyle. At some point we become comfortable around each other and stop worrying as much about our physical appearance. But if your husband suddenly goes from sitting around in sweat pants to constantly spraying on cologne and showering at odd times of the day before leaving, he may be trying to impress someone else. If he is getting dressed up before doing something with you, then it could be a good sign. If he's getting dressed up to go somewhere, it may not be so good. It is also a warning sign if he suddenly starts working out more even though he may have shown no previous interest in getting in shape.

Whether he has withdrawn emotionally, physically, or went to the opposite end of the spectrum and become overly sex-crazed and helpful, either way can be a sign of cheating. But keep in mind that these can be due to something completely unrelated. The best way to discover a cheating husband is to ask him. You'll never know otherwise, and it can be a nightmare trying to spy on him all the time. You'll start seeing signs of cheating everywhere, even if nothing is happening. Clear the air as soon as possible so you will know if it's time to give him the boot.
