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.

Frequently asked questions

Kissing differently can sometimes be a sign of emotional distance or changes in feelings. It might be worth having an open conversation about how you feel and see if there are underlying issues.

Trust your gut. It's tough when you feel something's off and he denies it. Try gathering more information and maybe even seek advice from friends or a trusted professional.

Intuition is powerful. If you keep feeling this way, there might be subtle signs you're picking up on. Reflect on any changes in his behavior or trust your instincts and talk about it openly.

Look for changes in his behavior, such as being secretive with his phone, working late more often, or being less interested in intimacy. If your concerns persist, consider talking to him or even seeking counseling.

Yes, it is. Dreams about cheating can reflect your insecurities or fears within the relationship. They don't necessarily mean he's actually cheating, but it’s worth exploring why you're feeling this way.

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!

How do I know a guy is flirting

I have been in a relationship with my partner for 18 years. On new years day whilst I was talking to his family on his mobile exchanging New years wishes, a text came through on his phone. It said have a nice holiday see you when you get backxxx. No mention of Happy New year, this mean't to me they had alreaady exchanged those greetings. Her reference to our holiday also told me he had seen or spoken to her recently. As the booking for the holiday was a last minuite one. The sender stored in his contact file wasn't a name I knew, so I asked him who she was and how she got his number. He couldn't explain this so I found her on facebook and asked if it was her that sent the message and why. She did not respond. A neighbour told me a woman fitting her description came to our house with him, in the summer and when I asked him who it was he said a different name, one who is a mutual friend. This mutual friend has a party every year, but he didn't want to go this year. Obvious now he didn't want me asking her if she liked a garden she had not seen. He denied anything was going on and I said I didn't care if there was or not, all he had to do to save our relationship was to never text her again and to delete her number from his phone. I found out from the call log that he text her at the very first oppportunity he had when we returned from holiday and instead of deleting her number he saved it under a different name. I told him go after asking him again if he had conttacted her and he said no and if he had had deleted her number and he said yes. I showed him the proof and he packed his bags there and then. For me the lies are worse. Putting up with a relationship for three years with no intimacy almost destroyed me. He wants to get back with me and although says the sex thing was because of an erectile dysfunction, he also says if we do get together we will have lots of sex fun and love... Don't hold out much hope for that, he can't admit it and if he doesn't admit it he will do it again. Enough is enough for me as they say...

I been merry for 19 years we have 6 kids together but every time we go out dancing he think he could talk to women well he is out side the club smoking is that ok is it normal please help

and they begin to avoid u and ur questions it is so messed up.
