Discovering a partner’s affair is easier
than ever before in history. Text messages, emails and online credit
card statements leave the careless cheater with an electronic affair
trail a gigabyte long. We know the typical telltale signs: weight loss,
new music or food interests, the purchase of a new wardrobe. But if your
affair radar is up — because your partner’s behavior just feels off or
out of the ordinary — here are 5 not-so-conspicuous signs you may be
overlooking.
1) Driving alone:
Typically, you’d hop in the car together and be on your way. But
recently she finds a myriad of reasons to have a few minutes alone — and
a need to take her own car. “I have to stop at the market, and I don’t
want to bore you!” she says. Time and again.
2) No harm in looking, right?:
“Did you see our cute neighbor checking out your butt?” she asks with a
big smile. “That flight attendant is really your type!” she teases,
leaving you wondering what happened to her jealous streak. No mystery.
She’s on an affair-fueled, guilt-mitigating mission to casually justify
extramarital attractions.
3) Affairs? No biggie:
You sadly report your best friend’s husband is cheating. Instead of
sharing your dismay, he becomes defensive. “Well, he hasn’t been happy
in that marriage,” or “People have affairs. That’s life.” Condemning
others means condemning himself — and he’s not about to go there.
4) Wanting you to strut your stuff:
What’s this? A little something from Vicky’s Secret just for you?
Funny, he’s always claimed that l!ngerie doesn’t do much for him. His
affair has reawakened his l!bid0 and, ironically, he’d like it to do the
same for you.
5) New languages: A
man’s suspicion once grew when he heard his wife irritably yell, “Good
Christ!” — an expression neither one of them had ever used — and one she
typically would find offensive. If she’s spending enough time with her
lover, she’s sure to pick up some of his/her expressions.
