1

He Starts Taking Better Care of Himself

If he starts working out, or wearing nicer clothes, he may not be doing it just for you. He might be doing it to impress someone else.

***

When a man suddenly shows an unsettling interest in grooming habits or altering his appearance drastically, it could be a red flag. Perhaps he has invested in new colognes or is fastidious about his hair. Maybe there's a newfound obsession with his physique that includes diet changes or a rigorous gym schedule. While self-improvement is commendable, if these changes are accompanied by secretive behavior or do not include you in his renewed zest for life, they may point towards an external romantic interest igniting this transformation.

2

His Taste in Music Changes

If his iPod used to be full of Death cab for Cutie, but now he’s listening to Kenny Chesney, he might be seeing someone who is encouraging his new taste in music.

***

It's natural for people to explore different genres, but a drastic shift might suggest influence from a new romantic interest, particularly if he's enthusiastic about songs or artists he previously overlooked. Pay attention if he's suddenly attending country music concerts or learning to line-dance, especially if he's doing so without you. His newfound passion might be more than just a phase—it could be a clue that there's a significant other who's imprinting their preferences on him. This is especially telling if the music he’s into now is something he once couldn't stand.

3

He Spends a Lot Less Time with You

If he blows you off on your usual date night once in a while, that’s one thing. But if all of a sudden he doesn’t want to spend any time alone with you, he might be feeling guilty.

***

Occasional schedule conflicts are understandable, but a marked decrease in quality time can raise red flags. Pay attention if he's repetitively choosing friends, hobbies, or work over moments with you, especially if these excuses seem out of character. It could be a sign that he's distancing himself due to feelings of guilt or preoccupation with someone else. Trust your intuition; if your shared moments are dwindling without a clear reason, it might be time to have a candid conversation about where your relationship stands.

4

He Has New Friends You Haven’t Met before

If he is always talking about friends, male or female, that he’s never really mentioned before, they might actually be HER friends.

***

When your man starts spending time with a new circle, and you're never introduced despite opportunities, it could be a sign something is amiss. Especially if he's evasive when you ask about them, or makes plans that don't include you, using vague excuses. Socializing separately once in a while is healthy, but secrecy surrounding these friendships could indicate a deeper problem. Keeping an eye on how he speaks about these friends—the fondness or frequency—might give you a clue about whether they're simply new buddies or possibly connected to infidelity.

5

He Hides His Cell Phone Texts or Calls

If he’s always sending calls to voicemail when you’re together, or if he takes his phone in the bathroom with him, you may need to wonder.

***

Keeping his phone on silent, snatching it up the moment it buzzes, or consistently positioning it face down can also raise red flags. Not only does he avoid sharing what’s on the screen, but he may also clear his text history or hurriedly close apps as you walk by. This desire for privacy might not be concerning on its own, but combined with other secretive behaviors, it could hint at attempts to conceal communications that he doesn’t want you to see. Trust your gut—if his relationship with his phone seems to be changing, it’s worth considering why.

6

He Treats You Differently

If he seems distant or on edge or is more critical of you than usual, he may be trying to get YOU to dump HIM. He might be stressed about school or work, but typically, if a guy starts treating you differently than before, something else is going on.

***

It's all about the subtle yet significant shifts in his behavior. If he used to be attentive and loving, but now avoids eye contact and seems irritable, trust your instincts. Communication is key in relationships, and if you're no longer in the loop of his daily life, it's possible he's investing time and energy elsewhere. Remember, consistent patterns over time are more telling than isolated incidents, so look for ongoing changes in the way he interacts with you.

7

He Accuses YOU of Cheating

If he was never the jealous type before, but suddenly starts treating you with suspicion or jealousy, he might be transferring his own guilty feeling to you. This is a typical sign of guilt, and you should definitely be on the alert!

8

He Kisses Differently

If his kissing style changes suddenly, he might be trying something new, or he might have learned something new from someone else.

***

A sudden shift in the way your partner kisses you could be a sign of infidelity. Physical intimacy is often influenced by personal experiences, and if his lips are telling a different story, it might be because they have been whispering secrets elsewhere. Alterations in tenderness, technique, or even the frequency of kissing can be subtle indicators that he is expressing affections that have been practiced or perfected with someone else. Pay attention to these changes, especially if they are accompanied by other worrying signs in your relationship.

9

His Friends and Family Start Avoiding You

If his sister used to be your BFF but now she’s not taking your calls or meeting you for coffee or shopping anymore, she might know something you don’t know. His friends and family won’t rat him out, but sometimes their behavior can signal a change, too.

10

He Blocks You from MySpace or Facebook

If all of the sudden you can’t see his Facebook wall or MySpace page, he may be hiding messages from another girl. Why else would he block you, unless he’s hiding something?

The best way to find out if your man is cheating is to ask him, of course. And if he has been unfaithful, you might be tempted to blame the other girl, but it’s not her fault. It’s his. So dump that loser and find someone who really appreciates you!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Except for the tattoo/roller derby part, and the part about his job about to end, I could have written Sara's post (it's been a lot longer than 10 years too). I have confronted him with the texts, phone bills,etc., only after "investigating" for a couple of months and couldn't turn up anything except the inappropriate texts. I've accused him, he's denied it. I feel like something is going on in the workplace, which has happened many times in the past with other people. What do I do now? It's driving me crazy.

My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years. Okay, I don't think he's actually cheating, but a lot of wierd things are happening... a. He drastically changed his look b. he is texting a girl at his work, that he otherwise wouldn't have much of a reason to talk to c. he called her his work wife on several occasions in text messages to her. He also tells her where he's going to be and when. d. he has talked to me about what she looks like and how she helps him out in several situations e. I tested him by saying I am going to get some tattoos and become a roller derby girl, (just like her) and he told me that that would be a MAJOR turn on for him. f. he was texting his "friends" our entire "date night" when we were finally able to get away from the kids for one night, I had my phone put away. g. he doesn't care that much anymore when I don't want to have sex or attend to his horniness (as it sometimes feels) h. he gets off the phone very quickly when he's at work and sometimes never calls me back, also he hides when he's texting or talking on the phone, which has always happened, but not as frequently or for as long. Tell me what you think, am I on the verge of getting cheated on? How do I catch him, and how do I let him know that I know somethings up?

And to alot of you guys out there I hope everything goes good between you guys :( I'm sorry to hear all that stuff . I feel you guys though . I am so scared because I love my baby so god damn much and I don't know whats going on :(
