6 signs of emotional cheating

There is no consensus on what cheating is - for each person it is something different.

Someone monitors the actions of their partner in social networks and counts betrayal every "like" under someone else's photos, and someone can "understand and forgive" much more frank things. One thing is clear: emotional betrayal differs from the physical absence of direct intimacy and physical contact. That is, this is all that is "more than friendship."

When you have an emotional affair, your loved one’s heart is far away from you, even if his body is near. And to learn about such a betrayal is no less painful than about sex on the side. Plus, your partner, who flirts with another woman, is unlikely to think about something more.

Noticing emotional cheating is not as easy as detecting physical cheating. The partner may well come home on time, he will not smell of someone else's perfume, and you will not find someone else's hair on his jacket. By what then can you define it?

1. Stealth about phone content.

A smartphone is a very personal, almost intimate thing. And secrecy in his attitude does not always mean that something terrible is hidden there. However, people who have something to hide from their spouse will be especially zealous in protecting their phone's privacy.

2. The partner is eager to meet with friends, which takes place on the other side of the city. Especially if he is not so easy-going when it comes to meeting with relatives or mutual friends. Most likely, it is there that he will meet the object of his sympathy. At the same time, he does not take you with him, since there will be a "purely male company". Again - it really may turn out to be just a "bachelor party", but in combination with other signs it raises suspicion.

3. At the mention of her name, he always perks up and is ready to instantly change plans. It may be that you are familiar with the one who takes the mind of your loved one. For example, you all communicate together in one company. If you begin to notice that your spouse's plans and opinions change depending on what “that other” will do or say, then you should take a closer look at them. For example, he decides to cancel the trip if there is no one there, or change the meeting place with friends, because she suggested it.

4. He praises her. Of course, your man won't just praise another woman in front of you. But she can, for example, comment on her relationships with others, declaring that these men are not worth her.

5. On a drunken head, he shows especially warm feelings for her. Yes, many after a certain dose of alcohol to declare love and respect for everyone around them. But if your man chooses her from all the interlocutors - he invites you to dance, on occasion "in a friendly way" hugs her, makes compliments - then this should alert you.

6. He jokes about all the talk about her. Or vice versa exaggerates your suspicions. Like: "Yes, of course, I sleep with her every day, how could it be otherwise, but in any free time I dream about her." Usually, those who do not know how to lie do this: that is, they tell the truth, but in such a tone and way that, of course, one cannot believe in it.
