Relationships take work - they take trust, faith, communication, and two people working toward a common goal, and if you are lucky, that common goal is to keep the relationships solid. We live in a disposable society, and it seems, to this writer at least, that relationships and marriage have also become rather disposable. Breaking up is never fun, but it's not all that difficult. Divorce is easier to obtain than every before, and marriage is on the decline because of it.

One reason many relationships end, and rightfully so, is infidelity. Hey, it works both ways - men and women both cheat! You'll pardon me if I write this more from a first person perspective, as a woman who has been cheated on before, and use the 'he' pronoun in my writing. As you read this though, it is very important to note that women do indeed cheat and this tips for catching a cheater will work just as well on a 'she' as they do on a 'he'.

I suppose it's a good idea to preface this with a bit of wisdom - I'm not condoning spying on your partner, by any means. If you suspect your partner is cheating on you, chances are there are major problems in your relationship to begin with, regardless of whether or not he or she is cheating. Think about it, if you are insecure enough to accuse your partner of cheating when he or she is not actually cheating, then there are problems in your relationship stemming from your insecurity that need to be address. If, however, your accusation or suspicion of cheating is founded in truth, then the relationship really has another issue to look at.

Once you have reached the point in the relationship where you suspect he or she is cheating, chances are the relationship is already doomed, regardless of whether you find your partner with another or not. That being said, some people do choose to stay in a relationship after an infidelity, and the only way to repair the relationship is to know for sure, so just how do you catch a cheater?

Great comment amy! I'm not sure if my boyfriend, Robert, is cheating on me, he has all the signs, or if his company is going under and he's getting what he can out of it. Sometimes I think that's his approach, to out, relationship. - Dave, Michigan

Women are by nature better cheaters. My ex-wife cheated on me for almost three years and I never had a clue. She took care of home and treated me and the kids great. I never had to ask for sex and her habits never changed. The only way I found out is by finding her secret diary while cleaning out her dirty car. Think about it, through out history life has been far more hazardous for the adulterous woman than the man. Women had to be far more creative in their cheating. The bottom line is women cheat just as much as men, they're just better at it.

Speaks to a sorry state of affairs, doesn't it? (Pun intended.) Why people can't just be straightforward with one another defies understanding. "Do unto others"...what's so hard to understand about that concept?? Pay back can be a real bite in the ass.

Neelima Talwar- Great article.Excellent presentation.I can see that personal experience has translated into this piece of advice to other 'innocent'women.I am here in India,but this is a universal article about relationships and all women can relate to it.

As I said - each one individually should not be considered as cheating - it's when these changes all start to happen at one time, and with no explanation - as the article CLEARLY indicated, if their work schedule and pay increases at the same time, there's not a problem - but if the work schedule increases but pay doesn't - why? I'm not saying any one thing means cheating - and the article clearly indicated not to make any accusations unless sure - and that means seeing more than one behavior listed exhibited regularly in conjunction with other behaviors.

This is purely speculative, any number of things could change these factors such as maybe some one quit and you are working to cover the shift. Maybe your lover wanted to look better so he/she started to dress better, maybe they use the internet more because they found a great site to publish their writings on ;-). Good article I just dont agree with some of it, and its purely speculative and if the person who was cheating was smart they would cover up all their lies better and not get caught.

I hope I never see these signs!! Very well written. Great information.

Thought out in detail. Isn't amazing how wary become after being cheated on.

Personally, I don't understand the mentality of cheating. When I'm with a woman I love, all other women disappear, it's that simple. I find that the attraction for others just shuts off and I see other women, can appreciate beauty, etc etc, but I just don't get someone who cheats. I know you've been burned Michy, but I swear to you and to God there are men who do not cheat, would never cheat, and have never cheated. Besides that, the article is a good one, and I know men who cheat and women who have been cheated on and you are right, these are good ways to catch a cheater.
