I don’t know about you, but if my partner were cheating on me, I’d rather know. It might be easier to live in denial and pretend that everything was perfect, but if my man were cheating, I would want to know. Of course, finding out that your partner is cheating is a lot more difficult that you would think.

You might have a hunch that something’s not right, but without proof, you can’t say anything. Let’s be honest, in most cases, a guy’s reaction to his girl asking him if he’s cheating is to exclaim that she’s paranoid. Don’t listen to him, always, always trust your gut instinct, because most of the time it’s right.

If you’ve got an inkling he’s cheating, the question you’re dying to know the answer to is probably how can you catch him out? Want to know how to work out if he’s cheating, these are the telltale signs, and all the best ways to catch him.

All of a sudden he’s making more of an effort to be well groomed and better dressed. If you’ve noticed that recently, he’s been making more of an effort when it comes to what he’s wearing, this could be a sign that he’s cheating. You might have spent years urging him to invest in new clothes and try out a new hairstyle, but until now he never has. It could just be a coincidence, but if he’s spending longer in the bathroom each morning, this is a sign he’s trying to impress someone.

He’s super protective of his phone. If he’s the kind of guy who’s always been open to you using and going on his phone, and now all of a sudden it’s off limits, this is a bad sign. If he won’t let you use his phone, the chances are there’s something on there he doesn’t want you to see. Of course, it could be that he’s arranging a surprise for your birthday, but the chances are it’s a much darker secret than that. If you can, while he’s asleep or in the shower, attempt to get on his phone. If he has a passcode, this could be tricky, but you may be able to work it out. His birth year, a year his fave sports team won big, or the date of your child’s birth, are all good ones to try. No success with his phone, how about trying his Facebook?

All of a sudden he’s away a lot for ‘business’. If his job has never taken him away before but now all of a sudden he’s constantly away for work, this could be a sign that he’s seeing someone else. He may actually be away for work, but the chances are if he tells you not to call him because he’ll be busy, he could be cheating.

Now onto how to catch him. Want to find out once and for all what he’s playing at? Here’s what you need to do. How about hiring a private detective, like Bond Rees private investigator, to track his movements?

With various new cheater-detecting technologies, your chances of catching him out will triple. Of course, this will cost you, but it’s worth it if it helps you find the truth.

If you want to catch him out, but can’t afford a private detective, the best thing to do is call him when he’s out. Make sure to hold back your number, so that he’s more likely to pick up. (If he asks why your number is withheld, tell him you’ve got no idea.) If he tells you where he’s going, turn up and ‘surprise’ him. This is your best bet for catching him in a compromising position - you might want to take a friend with you for moral support.

Finding out he’s cheating will break your heart, but it’s better to know so that you can move on. Don’t be taken for a fool, if your gut tells you something’s not right, listen to it.
