3 Signs That Your Man is Cheating

Jul 29 04:30am

How do you know if you are dating a cheater? You don't need to be a private eye to suss out these warning signs:

Revived Interest in Appearance: If your partner suddenly undergoes a makeover of sorts, in which he spends much more time on his appearance, it could mean that he is trying to impress someone new. If he all of the sudden ditches his old khakis and sweats for something more stylish, it might be because he is trying to look his best for a new woman.
Missing in Action: If there are large periods in which your partner is absent and unaccounted for, it could be because there are mischievous motives behind his AWOL behavior. Whether it is a run to the corner store that takes over an hour, or whether he is constantly "working late," a missing husband could mean something sinister.
Mysterious Texts or Phone Calls: If you notice mysterious texts or phone calls on your phone bill, or if your husband tries to hide the phone bill or his cell phone from you, it might mean that there is a new love interest in the rafters. Additionally, if he spends more time on the computer, or tries to hide the screen he was looking at when you walk in the room, this is a good indicator that he might be philandering via the worldwide web.

Of course, the best way to discover what your partner is up to behind your back is to communicate openly and honestly with him. Share your fears regarding his fidelity and try to discuss the matter before you go crazy with worry. Remember, things are not always as they seem!

If you discover that your partner has been unfaithful, find out how to Repair After an Affair.

I thought I was going to learn something that I didn't know. They are the 3 signs that are the most obvious, to both sexes.

Useless article. And she can't even write well. Yahoo should find someone better than Dr. Laura Berman

wow. these three 'signs' are as old as time. in this day and age, is it so necessary to still fall victim to these cliches? each of these so-called signs can be viewed objectively and subjectively. i wonder how many women (or men) will read this article and, like a daily horoscope, rework her man's daily doings into these scenarios, causing major panic and anxiety. i only have a BA in psychology and i could have written a much better , more researched article . . .

Well- I can only assume (based on the Bio for Dr. Berman) that she has a certain space of info to fill for this Blog and there is hardly any way that anyone could go into depth or detail in this small of a section. But I do agree that perhaps the Blog s/h been broken down and ran like a series- allowing her to give more insight and allowing us to learn something new.

More signs:
- New "moves" during sex
- Accusations from your partner about you cheating
- Extroardinary defensiveness at the slightest question of fidelity
- Frequent visits to clubs, parties, etc. without you

Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything...

Are you kidding me??? Dr. Berman must think all her readers are braindead. LMAO.

9. toddschmod@sbcglobal.net - Jul 29 07:38pm

oh well, at least she didn't go with lipstick smears on his collar and the smell of someone else's perfume...

Starting her Name as "DrLaura" is misleading, trying to trick people into thinking they are reading an article from the Hugely successful Real Dr Laura( the radio psycologist)
