Infidelity Warning Signs
by [MrsPartyGirl]

I got this list of "telltale signs" from divorce websites. Nice no? It's very suggestive of a natural progression - cheating then divorce. :D

Some of the signs on the list are actually quite funny. Though, I know these wouldn't be funny if it actually started happening to you....

Anyway, try not to be (too) paranoid if hubby exhibits one or two of these signs. For example, if he suddenly decides to end his i-just-got-out-of-bed-slash-casual-slob look for a more neat and stylish look, maybe he sincerely just wants to look good for a change. Or, if he suddenly has the desire to help you do the laundry, don't take it as an expression of guilt on his part. Maybe he just really turned a new leaf and has decided to finally help you do stuff around the house. But if, he exhibits 40 out of the 46 things on this list, then perhaps there is a possibility he may be cheating on you.

Here's the list, let's cross our fingers...

1) You find long strands of hair in the car, but you have a bob cut.

2) Mutual friends start acting strangely toward you. (They either know about the cheating or have been told stories about what a horrible wife or girlfriend you are.)

3) Your cheating husband stops confiding in you and seeking advice from you.

4) Sets up a new e-mail account and doesn't tell you about it.

5) He leaves the house in the morning smelling like Irish Spring and returns in the evening smelling like Safeguard.

6) He joins the gym and begins a rigorous workout program.

7) He buys a cell phone and doesn't let you know.

8) He sets up a separate cell phone account that is billed to his office.

9) The cheating husband carries condoms, and you are on the pill or have had a ligation.

10) Begins to delete all incoming phone calls from the caller ID.

11) Deletes all incoming e-mails when they used to accumulate.

12) He becomes "accusatory," asking if you are being true to him, usually out of guilt.

13) Raises hypothetical questions such as, "Do you think it's possible to love more than one person at a time?"

14) He buys himself new underwear. Boxer shorts become bikini underwear.

15) He insists the child seat, toys, etc., are kept out of his car.

16) Stops wearing his wedding ring.

17) Has a sudden desire to be helpful with the laundry.

18) Has unexplained scratches or bruises on his or her neck or back.

19) Suddenly wants to try new love techniques.

20) He fairly suddenly stops having sex with you.

21) He suddenly wants more sex, more often.

22) Supposedly works a lot of overtime, but it never shows up on the pay stub.

23) Picks fights in order to stomp out of the house.

24) You find out by accident he took vacation days or personal time off from work - but supposedly worked on those days.

25) Shows a sudden interest in a different type of music.

26) Spouse's co-workers are uncomfortable in your presence.

27) Has a sudden preoccupation with his appearance.

28) Spends an excessive amount of time on the computer, especially after you have gone to bed.

29) He throws up a lot because he just ate at his mistress's house and had to eat the dinner you prepared when he got home.

30) Your spouse is away from home, either nights or on trips, more than previously.

31) His clothes smell of an unfamiliar perfume or after-shave. You see lipstick on your husband's shirt.

32) The amount of money being deposited into your checking account drops off.

33) You find items of intimate apparel or other small gift-type items that you did not give your spouse.

34) Your spouse seems less comfortable around you and is "touchy" and easily moved to anger.

35) You get calls where the caller hangs up when she hears your voice.

36) He loses attention in the activities in the home.

37) Your intuition (gut feeling) tells you that something is not right.

38) He has a definite change in attitude towards everyone in the home.

39) He uses a low voice or whisper on the phone or hangs up quickly.

40) He brings you flowers (or gifts) for no apparent reason. Or if he always gives you flowers, stops.

41) Atypical erratic behavior.

42) He sneaks out of the house.

43) He sleeps with his cellphone (or wallet) by the bed

44) He goes to the store for groceries and comes home 5 hours later.

45) He tells you can get hold of him at a different telephone number.

46) The telltale signs of a cheating spouse? Having to ask that question in the first place.

The best way to know, of course, is to ask your husband. He may become defensive or, knowing men, he may take the denial route. However, make sure that you are ready for any of his answers (either with a Rachael Ray knife or rat poison, just kidding!), whether it be good or bad. The earlier you catch him and his philandering ways, the more hope you can have to save your marriage.

    hi ate mee! am just bloghopping ;)

    hi dyes! uy buti na-drop by ka dito hehe. welcome!

    as for #25, i think it means na baka dati, ang hilig ni mister ay classical music or the opera. tapos bigla siyang nahilig kay april boy or sa aegis. it could mean that he may have been "unduly influenced" by another person. :) bakit? bigla na lang ba nag-belt out si roney ng "ang halik mo, nami-miss ko?" :D

    Ate Mee, i just can't get the connection between a change in the preference of music and cheating. hehehe what if hubby merely doesn't want to think he's already old (experiencing middle-age crisis) and expresses it out through his choice of music? but anyhow, i'll still keep that in mind ^_^

    and no, roney's not belting out new songs. his fave still, to my delight, is Grow Old With You. ^_^

    yihee, sweet :D kinikilig pa ako thinking of him singing that on your wedding.

    anyway, hindi naman necessarily na nag-change siya ng taste sa music ay indication na yun ng infidelity. tingin ko aggregate yan of signs, especially kung extreme yung difference.

    so, yung nga, either infidelity or mid-life crisis. either way, parehong nakaka-bother hahah!

Kumusta, Kumare!
WE ARE WIVES

We're loving, beautiful, sexy, smart, and (quite) outspoken as well.

We have a mind of our own and we are not afraid to show it.

Besides (and won't you agree?)...

Behind every happy wife is a happier husband. *wink*
