1. His Friends are Acting Strange Around You
When a man is cheating on you with another woman, his friends may feel guilty about it or empathetic toward you even if he doesn’t feel that way. Look for his friends to act oddly, secretive, or even take note of them being extra nice to you for no reason. This could indicate that he is cheating and has confided in one or more of his friends. They all know his big secret.
2. His Everyday Behavior Suddenly Changes
If his behavior suddenly changes, including daily routines, take note. If he suddenly starts leaving for the office an hour earlier, or develops a sudden interest in playing golf with his friends at the club when he couldn’t care less before, this could be a sign that he is cheating.

3. He Starts Getting Moody
Men can get moody when they are cheating. The stress of dealing with the erosion of intimacy in one relationship and the ups and downs of starting another can cause his to go into an emotional roller coaster. If there doesn’t seem to be any specific reason for his moodiness, like extra work stress or other life changes such as a death in the family etc. then he may be cheating on you.
4. His Appearance Suddenly Changes
If he hasn’t changed his hair style in years, or lost a single pound in eons, but all of a sudden starts caring about how he looks, then he may be cheating. Men want to be attractive to women they are trying to woo, and even if it isn’t you he’s wooing, he’ll put extra effort into his appearance. If he’s wearing a new tie to work or starts working out suddenly, he may be cheating.

Your man has been a die-hard classic rock fan for as long as you’ve known him. You get into the car with him one day and notice that the radio is tuned to some music he’d normally never listen to. This is a sign he could be cheating and adopting the tastes and cultural preferences of the person he is sleeping with.
6. His Sexual Tastes Change
If he suddenly wants to do out-of-the ordinary things in bed, it could mean that he is cheating on you.

7. He Suddenly Desires Lots of Alone Time
When a man suddenly wants lots of time to himself instead of spending free time with you or his family, it could mean that he is cheating. That “alone time” might translate to “time with a new love interest.” Though men sometimes withdraw into their own space when stressed, and this is normal, if it is sudden or extended, then suspect that he may be cheating.
8. He Hides Credit Card Bills from You
A man who is cheating needs to hide the fact that he is spending money on dinners, flowers, lingerie, hotels, etc. on a new love interest. If he is hiding his financial statements from you, including credit card bills, checking or savings statements, ATM receipts, or other financial documentation, he could be cheating.

9. He Starts Working a Lot More
If a man starts working longer hours it can mean he is dedicated to getting his next promotion or it could mean that he is cheating.

He may also work more because it is too stressful to go home and face the woman he is cheating on.
10. He Has New Friends that You Haven’t Met
If he suddenly starts talking about any friends that you haven’t met, and doesn’t seem to be in too big a hurry for you to meet them, then he may be cheating. That exuberance may be more than a manly comradery for a new office mate, and may be because he is head-over-heels for f hot woman at the office.

If he tends to hide his phone or smart phone from you, it may be because he doesn’t want you to see messages or hear voicemails from his affair. While you should honor his privacy, if he is making an extra effort to keep his phone away from you, then it may mean he has something to hide.
12. He Is On His Phone More
Men aren’t usually tied to their phones as much as women. We are naturally the more verbal of the two sexes. If he is suddenly texting or talking to someone on his phone more than usual, he may be cheating. This is especially true if texts or calls come in at strange times.

His Friends are Acting Strange Around You – really? i am not convinced about this one but i hope it is true. i hope his friends will feel guilty about him cheating on me.
i trust my guy so much. i knew that he would never ever cheat on me but it is good knowing these clues whether a man’s more likely to cheat. i know some who would need them.
i had a boyfriend who always made plans for weekends or simple date nights and stuff. but that didn’t last long..i noticed him often on his phone and coming home late apparently because of “work” but in the end another girl surfaced and i just ended things with him.
oh yeah i noticed that my partner is starting to dress better. this is very unusual so i think there is something fishy going on.
this happened to me not long ago..everyone else knew but me. i thought our friends were acting weird, and then….. that was it!
you should start getting nervous if your guy desires lots of alone time especially if you guys are used to doing lots of things together. it could mean he wants a space or seeing another girl.
look at all these signs and if you see at least 3, you’re surely being cheated on. do not allow any man do this to you, you are worth more than that kind of treatment and the lies he give you.
personally, i believe women also cheat but men do it more often. they are more likely to get caught. they leave clues everywhere!
a guy who suddenly gets moody, almost angry all the time and mostly absent…you might have a cheating partner. these signs are common but most of the time neglected.
this article is very helpful! also i learned a lot reading through the comments. i will surely share this to my friends.
when his behavior changes on a daily basis and you feel it, he might be really cheating on you. beware and look out for other signs present.
i am so sick and tired of my man’s suspicious behavior! i am uncertain where our relationship is going now. need to think things over.
all these signs are proven and tested to be true. very accurate and the most common you will find in a man who cheats.
he’s on his phone more often and he seems to hide things from you. he couldn’t put it down afraid you might see or read something. aaah..this is the most common and a lot of men still don’t seem to have learned their lesson. tsssk!
my man is secretive about his phone. he was never like that before! he is definitely hiding something! i can feel it! oh, i am so mad right now!
yes! he just suddenly becomes too conscious about his appearance, his smell, the clothes he wear, and the list goes on. ugh! i hated it when i found out how my ex boyfriend’s been cheating on me for months and i never had a clue because i was too busy with my career.
whew! after reading this, i realized i was just being paranoid about my husband cheating on me. there is nothing to be worried about. thank goodness.
he gets moody and fight with you a lot for no reason at all. men are always like this and women should be aware of all these signs.
can these signs really tell for sure? or do i have to strap a lie detector on my guy? haha!
his taste in different things suddenly changes. taste in clothes, perfume, music, even in bed. these are the surefire signs he is indeed cheating.
what all men do when they are cheating? their appearance will suddenly change! well, this is what i have observed from my personal experience and yes! i’ve been cheated a lot of times!
i’ve experienced this before. at first, he started working longer hours and then he suddenly goes out with “friends” i didn’t even know existed before. it turned out he was seeing another woman and i called it quits. for him to even lie to my face over and over, i couldn’t take it no matter how much i thought i loved him.
He hides credit card bills from you – this is a classic sign. this is the type of article that i love reading the most. though i am confident that my husband will never ever cheat on me, it is still good to know the signs just in case .
no secret can remain hidden forever. if your man is cheating, you will surely find out regardless of how he tries to hide it. just saying based on my experience!
i am so thankful for this post! i suspect that my partner is cheating on me so i searched online for something that could help me discover the truth and found this. i will surely look for these signs.
sex changes, period. when you start to feel like his sexual drive becomes less, it may be because he’s doing it elsewhere. beware of this sign!
you can really tell if your man is cheating if his friends act differently when you are around. be cautious. like what this article said, if his friends are being super nice to you then there is something fishy going on.
i don’t want this to happen to me ever! but thank you so much for sharing this. every woman needs to know this!
