7 Warning Signs Men Show Before Cheating -

Cheating. It’s a word that strikes fear and heartache into the hearts of many women. But what if we told you that there are warning signs men show before they actually cheat on someone? And the worst part is that most women overlook these signs. It’s time to change that. In this article, we’re going to reveal the top 7 warning signs that men show before cheating.

Now, you may be thinking that your partner would never cheat on you. But these signs we’re about to reveal are so subtle, they often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Just to be clear, spotting one of these signs doesn’t mean he’s already thinking about cheating. But it does mean it’s time to talk to your partner about it. Having a chat about these signs can help you both get back on track or figure out if it’s time to move on from the relationship. So, grab a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes because you won’t want to miss this.

Number 1: He has more than one phone or is really sketchy with his phone.

Does he step out of the room to take calls or go out of his way to hide incoming texts on his phone from you? Here’s the thing. If your spouse or partner has nothing to hide, they won’t act all secretive. Sadly, a lot of guys won’t let their partners check their phones, which totally raises red flags. If he’s not up to anything shady, he should be fine with you looking at his phone, reading his texts, or just browsing through it. Yes, privacy between you two is still important. But if you see this sketchy behavior in your relationship, if he’s being overly defensive about his phone, it’s time to have a conversation and find out why. It’s super important to talk about this with him. Don’t just let it go and brush it off as nothing. It could be a warning sign that he’s hiding something from you. And it’s better to address it early on before things escalate.

Number 2: He gaslights you.

To get the idea of gaslighting, let’s stick with the phone example. Imagine you ask to see his phone because he’s been acting suspiciously about it. But instead of just handing it over, he tries to make you look like the crazy one. He calls you irrational and paranoid, even claiming that what you want him to do means you don’t trust him. Basically, he flips the script and makes you seem like the unreasonable one. He’ll try to paint himself as the victim, claiming that he did nothing wrong. So, it’ll make it look like you’re the one attacking him. But despite his claims, you’ll notice his stories don’t add up. And through it all, he won’t give any clear answers about what’s really going on. He’s trying to gaslight you because by making you doubt yourself, question your memory, or think your perception is wrong, he gets the upper hand. He wants to distort your sense of reality because by making you second-guess your own experiences, he gains control over the situation. He can manipulate you more easily and get you to think nothing’s really going on, which is further from the truth.

So ladies, if you notice this behavior, get ready to have some serious conversations with your partner. Don’t let him mess with your head and make you doubt yourself. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. Talk to him honestly and believe in yourself. Remember that you deserve transparency and honesty in a relationship.

Number 3: He starts fights with you.

If you suddenly notice he’s way more irritable, picking fights when he never used to, and constantly making you feel like you’re making countless mistakes, leading to more frequent arguments, here’s the deal. He might not even realize it, but his subconscious mind could be causing tension and pain in the relationship. Because by making things unpleasant for you both, it becomes easier for him to justify leaving or cheating. Basically, he feels guilty about wanting to cheat. He’s struggling with his conscience and knows it’s wrong. So, by making you the bad guy in the relationship, he’s trying to ease his guilt and justify his feelings. It’s a way for him to shift the blame onto you instead of facing his own issues. If he’s always starting arguments and being irritable, it’s something you need to address in your relationship.

Number 4: Your gut makes you doubt him.

If you feel like something’s off about him, trust your gut. You’re not being paranoid or crazy. Your intuition is that voice inside you, guiding you through situations where logic might fail. Always remember to listen to it, as it often knows what’s best for you even before your mind can process it. So go ahead, trust your gut. Let it lead you to the right path. If something feels off, like your intuition tells you his attention is on someone else, it’s a sign to bring it up. Have the courage to start the conversation. The sooner you’re ready to discuss tough topics in a relationship, such as the possibility of cheating, the better and deeper your connection will be.

Number 5: He mentions his past incidents of cheating.

One important dating advice? Believe people when they tell you who they are early on in your relationship. Seriously, folks will tell you exactly who they are. You just have to really pay attention to what they say. One common tactic some guys use when they’re likely to cheat is sharing stories about their past infidelities while dating someone new. They might say they didn’t have the guts to end a relationship, so they cheated to get their partner to break up with them. And it’s not just a one-off thing. These guys usually have a bunch of stories or a string of anecdotes showing this behavior. One reason guys do this is, subconsciously, they see it as a way to cover themselves. If he tells you about his history of cheating and then also cheats on you, he can say, “See, I told you. I was being honest about who I am.” So, if he’s bragging about his wild past, be careful about how much you dedicate to your relationship with him. Guard your heart and don’t give your all to him until you’re sure he’s really on a new path.

Number 6: He’s secretive about what he does and where he goes when you’re not together.

When a guy’s in love with you, time apart just makes him more eager to share his experiences when he’s back. He’ll excitedly tell you everything, wanting to relive each moment with you. In fact, he’ll share stories with such enthusiasm that you’ll feel like you were right there with him. Why? Because he loves you. He wants to share his life with you completely. As his partner, he desires to bring you fully into his world. Just to clarify, some guys are naturally more reserved and might not talk about their day as much as you’d like. But it gets suspicious when they get irritated by your questions, snap at you, or try to make you feel guilty for wanting to know what’s up. A guy with something to hide will be vague and mysterious, dodging specifics that could give him away. You can tell that there’s something he doesn’t want you to know when you see the evasiveness and defensiveness in his behavior.

Number 7: You stop having s£x.

S£x is often a reflection of the connection and intimacy shared between partners. If your once-thriving s£x life is now on the decline, it’s definitely a red flag. Sometimes, a dip in s£xµal activity can push a guy to try and fix things. Other times, he might start looking for fulfillment elsewhere. So, if you notice a drop in s£xµal activity in your relationship, address it right away if you want to get things back on track.
