Does your husband have a mistress?
Have you ever suspected that your husband might be cheating on you? Instead of confronting him about it right away, it may be helpful to evaluate a few warnings signs that could indicate an affair. These don’t prove he’s cheating, but it may be a starting point in figuring out if he is.
One of the most obvious clues is tall tales detailing why he was late coming home from work. If he offers this information up a little too readily, or if his explanations don’t make any sense, your man might be having an affair.
A second reason to be suspicious is if your mate suddenly starts to buy you a lot of gifts. If this is out of character for him, it could be that he’s feeling guilty, and trying to alleviate that guilt by showering you with flowers, jewelery, and the like.
What if your husband starts picking fights with you more than usual? This is a warning sign that could have two explanations. He could be picking fights to deal with the guilt of his infidelity. Alternatively, it could be an excuse to storm off and head for his lover’s place.
If your husband has taken a newfound interest in making himself look good, ironing his clothes or drenching himself in sexy cologne, he many not be doing so for your benefit. Rather, this is yet another sign that he could be cleaning himself up for someone on the side.
Finally, has your level of intimacy decreased? Has the “spark” gone out of your relationship? Have you stopped spending quality time together? A lack of physical and/or emotional intimacy can be another clue that something just isn’t right in your relationship.
These aren’t the only warning signs; there’s tons. The most important thing to remember is just to trust your own gut. Are you suspicious because there is truly suspicious behavior going on, or is it because you are insecure?
If he is, in fact, cheating, remember that healing after an affair is possible. For most couples recovery is possible and the marriage can become better than it ever was. Take a long look at what you’ve put into your relationship before you decide to leave. And regardless of the outcome for your relationship, make sure to thoroughly address your feelings about the betrayal or the hurt will resurface in the future and cause more problems.
