You do Not Have His Home Phone Number

You do Not Have His Home Phone Number You ask for his home phone number, but he does not give it to you. He will only give you his cell phone number. When his cell phone battery runs out and you want to speak with him on the home phone, he always makes up an excuse not to. He will not even call you through his home phone. He’s married, he isn’t stupid. He knows you will get a whiff of that ring and when you finally do, he does not want you calling his house. His five kids have school in the morning and his wife looks no good without proper sleep. Girl, if you do not have that landline, then he is obviously hiding something for you.

He Puts the Toilet Seat up when He Pees

Face it, if the guy is not married, then he is not going to be putting that toilet seat up every single time he uses the bathroom. If he puts the toilet seat up when he pees, then you know that something is going on and he may have a wife. He either lives with his wife or his mother – the latter may be even worse.

He Wears Those Tighty Whities

He Wears Those Tighty Whities Okay, does he wear tighty whities? When a man gets married, they don’t really care about the underwear they have on. Wives have a tendency to go out of their way not to look. Single men care about their underwear and it is likely that they will be wearing something besides those old tighty whities. Sure, he wishes he could wear something that is sexy for you, but on the same note, he knows that if he got caught in those leopard banana hammocks, he’d be in the dog house.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I don't feel the land line home phone is a good indicator these days. I only know two people in the circles I run in that have land line phones. Most have two cell phones, some more.

I know men who are perfectly happy at home, but cheat just for the excitement of getting away with something or have gigantic egos that have to be pumped endlessly..that gets tiring..like having another child. All the guys I know who have cheated always stick with their wives..they want their cake and be able to eat it too.

I definitly agree about the home phone number! If you don;t have it that means either he's married or dating some one. Always be careful to trust him after this particular detail. I have to be sincere about the - buses his own dishes. and putting the toilet seat up when he pees, parts that actually they are not true. Some men are used to wash their own dishes, cause it their routine at home when they're still living with their parents or either they're trained good and they want to help! Most married man search other realtion ships cause they're not satisfied enough at home! Basically they search a little adventure to brighten up their days. Finding a married guy who really falls in love is a little difficult for me to absorb! I loved the part abaout the panties, haha! I totally agree with you there. When you're talking to him online or on phone and he ends the conversation abrutally that means he has something to hide! Wife caught him maybe! OR she's near!! I go all the way with how I feel! I really believe in that. I try to use my mind and heart at the same time which some times it's really difficult but when I have that gut feeling I totally goo 100% by it! Some things women can feel them and in my opinion ladies your gut feeling is what will help you most!

so terrible when people cheat on their spouse. we shouldn't need signs ever but it's good to know because people do end up doing it :(

I guess the tan line is the final proof, although some men don't like to wear the ring. Really Fatima? well I think this is how the people have become these days and it's very difficult to find someone that really doesn't cheat. And I bet that those who said that cheating is healthy for marriage were probably men and they were not thinking about the return favor, or just women who married out of interest :)
