Private investigator reveals four giveaways your partner is cheating on you
A lot people have fears of being cheated on, but don't know until it's too late - that's why a private investigator has highlighted the signs to look out for.
Finding out your partner is cheating on you is one of the worst things to discover about your other half.
Whether it's emotional or physical cheating, most people can agree - it simply sucks.
But even if you have your suspicions, relationships in real-life aren't like the movies, and it can be difficult to actually find any evidence or anything to confirm your concerns.

And while you might think you'll never have to worry about this, a surprising amount of people in the US say they have been cheated on.
According to a YouGov survey in 2022, 54 percent of Americans who have been in a monogamous relationship say they have been cheated on - either emotionally, physically, or both.
Private investigator Aaron Bond spoke to The Sun, and shared the most telling signs that there might be some reg flags when it comes to your partner and their behavior.
Phone Behaviour Changes
According to Bond, a sudden change in how your partner behaves with their phone could be a possible giveaway.
If they’ve changed their passcode for no apparent reason, or change it regularly, this could be cause for concern.
Bond explained: “If they starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house, or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone, it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”
Being cagey about what they're up to
Another trait the unfaithful may have is they show less of an interest in spending time with you, not show much excitement about seeing you, and may even withdraw, not wanting to talk about their day.
Bond said: “If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you anymore or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible.”
A change in sex drive
Both ends of the spectrum could be a cause for worry. If your partner suddenly lacks interest in your sex life, while it may have absolutely nothing to do with you, it could potentially point to cheating.
While on the opposite end, if they’re seemingly insatiable, it could mean they’re trying to mask their infidelity.
Bond said: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty. [They] use this increase in sex to hide their cheating.
“You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They have much more of a negative attitude
The stress of cheating and keeping it all in can cause stress to implode in on them, but this may also spill onto you.
“To get rid of the tension they feel inside, they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere,” Bond said.
The above, of course, should be taken with a very light pinch of salt.
Every relationship is different. If you notice any of these changes, it doesn’t automatically point to cheating, of course. But still, pretty interesting?
