Today we’re going to start by looking at some of the signs
of infidelity, ie the warning signs that your partner
could be cheating on you; then look at ways to help you
detect when he or she is lying to you.
Here are some typical warning signs:
Lies are easy to detect once you have a few tools in your belt.
This technique is a darn reliable ‘lie detector’
Here’s how it works…
So you suspect your partner is cheating on you. Or you know they are, but you just need to prove it. You spend all your time trying to find ways to catch them out, but in your efforts to find ways to catch them, you forget one important detail:
How much attention are you paying to keeping yourself safe?
Given the availability of statistics outlining the prevalence of
infidelity in marriages and relationships, it’s hardly surprising
that many people like you find themselves in search of answers.
Is your partner cheating on you now? Have they cheated on you in
the past? Is that friendship with a co-worker more than just a
friendship? When your spouse calls you and tells you they are
working late, is it really a late night at the office? When you
call your spouse on their cell phone, and they don’t answer or call
back, do you wonder why? Does your spouse answer their cell phone
and have conversations without telling you who it is?
Have you ever been so involved in a
relationship that you can’t see the toxicity that
surrounds you? Are you so caught up in your life
that you simply accept what is happening to you
without seeing a way out?
That’s the situation faced by a customer that
wrote to me recently, who was involved in an
enduring pattern of disrespect, broken promises,
secrets and infidelity.
She was so hung up on giving him another chance
to redeem himself, she couldn’t comprehend the
gravity of what he had already put her through.
Are you hoping for the golden apple, the
perfect cheating proof, or just an excuse to get
out of your relationship?
Here is her email and my reply:
Have you ever considered the consequences of
poor communication in your relationship? The gradual
decline in communication that starts with taking
each other for granted, letting the comfort of
routine and familiarity set in, until one day you
are confronted with the fact that your partner may be much more
unhappy than you think.
Despite the assurances of your spouse or
partner that the affair is over, quite often the
strange and secretive behavior persists or pops up
again, and those same feelings of unease and doubt resurface. Is it your irrational fears getting the better of you, or do you have good reason to
believe that your partner is picking up where they
left off?

Then there’s the physical versus mental issue…
This short video highlights offers some important insights into emotional affairs and warns us to beware because emotional affairs invariably don’t stop there. So often they’re the pre-curser to physical affairs.
As you have seen, sometimes infidelity isn’t necessarily sexual or physical.
Wide experience has proved that surviving infidelity and coming out of it with a much stronger relationship is possible, and I feel that if others can achieve it then so can you or any other couple provided that:
1. You want it badly enough
2. You are prepared to work at it
3. You are prepared to learn how to go about doing it
4. You are prepared to act on what you learn
As a relationship coach my main objective is to get results for you. With that in mind it’s best to warn you in advance that in this article, and in Part 2, there may be occasions when I touch on a nerve or take you out of your comfort zone!
So, let’s set the scene and get started with today’s subject which is looking into what is and what isn’t infidelity.
Affairs that are carried out over the Internet are becoming increasingly common, and marriage counselors report a sharp rise in the number of couples that come to therapy each year as a result of an affair that has been carried out online. The greatest risk to a couple in a relationship still involves co-workers, friends or neighbors, but the Internet allows people to develop close relationships with others despite the distance or lack of social connection.
When a partner is developing a cyber-affair, there are a several techniques and strategies you can employ. The first is that you check out the ‘How to Catch a Cheating Spouse‘ System
There are a few additional key pointers that indicate what is happening, and they include:
Surviving the infidelity or affair in your marriage throws your world into chaos and pain.
If you want to survive the affair; if you want to save the marriage and/or your sanity it is vital that you adjust, make changes and begin the process of addressing the affair or infidelity.
A key to surviving infidelity is to use the infidelity as an opportunity to stand back, look at yourself and take some time to get to know yourself better.
OK. What good is this going to do?
Cheating!! Even the word is enough to disturb anyone in a relationship, the potential for harm is so great. But, no matter what you suspect, before you accuse your partner of cheating, you better have an excellent reason behind it or you’ll come off as insecure and untrusting, and you could cause unnecessary damage to your relationship.
Make sure you have reasonable proof to back up any suspicions before you approach your partner. Here’s some tips to get you started on finding the proof.
Surviving an affair and infidelity IS possible. Very Possible!
It may not feel like it if you’ve just discovered the affair of your spouse or partner. But rest assured, there are specific stages and steps, and mental shifts you will make, that will boost you through this infidelity crisis.
Survival is often a completely fitting word. It truly feels like emotional, and sometimes even physical survival. The fear and pain can be debilitating, overwhelming and excruciating.
Surviving infidelity and an affair means that you will make several shifts in your thinking. You see, there are a raft of common misconceptions about surviving an affair that make surviving it and the healing and recovering from it much, much more difficult.
And, as you start to make the shifts, you can begin to survive the affair, begin to feel relief and a new confidence in your ability to say and do exactly what you must to not merely survive the adultery but know what you can do to possibly stop the affair, begin your healing process and perhaps save your marriage or relationship.
The most important mental shifts you will have to make are:
Many people, faced with the signs of cheating from their partners or spouses become paralyzed by two great unknowns:
1) A moral dilemma – ‘Even though I strongly suspect cheating, it just doesn’t seem right to spy.”
2) What to do once I’m sure about the cheating! – ‘What’s the best way way to approach the problem? I know so little about cheating, and if it’s ever possible, or even desirable, to try and regain my lost trust.
Now you can find the answers to these two, and many other, questions that bedevil us all when we suspect cheating in our relationship.
The old signs of cheating, a forgotten hotel receipt left in a pocket, the smell of a unrecognized cologne or perfume, still exist but are so well know that a cheater will be careful to make sure they don’t leave these type of tracks behind them.
Incredibly most cheaters haven’t yet woken up to the tracks they leave behind on their cell phone. Knowing how to tell if your partner is cheating and using his phone to facilitate it, gives you an easy way to catch them out in their unfaithfulness, and a way that leaves little doubt about what is going on.

Today I want to touch on a subject that is often very painful to a lot of people experiencing infidelity…..
Cheating – when your spouse, partner or lover cheats on you.
If cheating (infidelity, adultery or ‘an affair’ – such sterile words) was a part of your break-up, I know how devastated, betrayed and hurt you must be feeling… Nothing feels worse than that complete betrayal of trust you feel when you discover that someone you loved, cherished and did everything for was secretly in the arms of someone else…
