Depends, one of the guys I've dated use to keep their phone laying around without a code. It's not until I realized he started keeping his phone by him and placed a code on it that he was speaking to other women.

Also, our time spent together was being reduced. He was "busy" a lot more than he use to be. Now I'm not a clingy person in relationships. I'm all for space, I have Venus in Aqua and a Pisces Sun... so a lot of the times I like to be alone, but when someone is ditching out... especially during the "times I want to spend w/ them" I know something is up.

But this is from my experience, everyone is different.

Some of the easiest signs are change in patterns.

1. If he was attentive in the beginning but becomes secretive.

2. If he gets irritated by you asking to spend time with him the same way you did in the past.

3. If there is always a convenient excuse as to why he can't see you.

4. If he's dressing to impress, but it's clearly not for you.

5. If he's taking unnecessary shower before and/or after sex with you.

6. If you go quiet on him and he accuses YOU of infidelity or gets paranoid.

An easy test is to see how he reacts when you're around his phone. Does he let you touch it EVER? Does he allow you to access anything on it? Has he ever asked you to read text messages back to him because he was too far away? Basically see how he act if you ever get close to his phone.

I've encountered #6 often enough to see a pattern. While your busy justifying your actions and proving your loyalty he gets away with murder.

What about if he starts looking at porn? Which he didn't do before ?
Not a red flag. He could have always looked at porn (all guys do) and now he's getting comfortable enough in the relationship to start exposing his true self.
I think that's what's happening and I don't like him anymore

Is the search to find out if he's cheating really just an excuse to find a reason to leave?

As the female who has stood on the other side of the fence, i.e dating a man who says he's single but is actually already gf'ed/wifed up...one of the most prevalent signs that something was up was how he would be consistently unavailable during the same times.

These weren't during hours he was at work, it was in the morning/evening when he was with his baby mama (so to speak).

Nothing unless it's a constant NEED. If a person always NEEDS to take a show right before and after sex, they may want to wash off any evidence of their infidelity. It's not a sign that's easy to spot, but could be a red flag if consistent.

Generally most couples don't need to run and shower after sex. Also when the mood strikes, showering may not seem natural. If a person NEEDS to shower right away though it could hint at something.

That's not to say a person who showers is cheating. Just something to observe.

@chuckcem an experienced cheater will have two phones... one that he leaves unlocked and lying around his woman, the other to contact the side hoes.
Are there apps to track phones?

Yep. But only smart phones obviously. And if you don't know the second phone exists or it's whereabouts how are you gonna install the app?

Basically, he's being accused of possibly cheating because you're losing interest and you don't have the balls to own yourself and your feelings .... so, you attack his character in an attempt to blame him for something to make it his fault so you can enjoy your bliss of ignorance.

1. He will have breath mints in his vehicle.

2. He will start to work out (even at home).

3. He will start to "smell" good.

4. He will come home late at night with excuses.

5. He will "make" excuses.

6. Duh, he won't touch you in bed.

7. He will have a "secret" account somewhere; go to bank and find out (if you are married, of course).

8. He will tell you he's working late at night.

9. He will suggest you go out w/family or friends.

🤗 cyber hugs!

Love,

Eva

However did people cheat before smartphones, eh?

Pretty easily I'd imagine. With the advancement of communication technology comes the loss of overall privacy. Nowadays everyone is accessible at all times.

And when I asked him why he shaved his face turned bright red and he got angry
I´d find this weird too.

Could he be feeling inadaquete sexually, therefor looking at porn and seing how they all have shaved theird dicks, and now he thinks this is the ish?

I think I would just come out and say to him: listen, I found it weird, you didn´t answer that question, and it made me very insecure and I´m now wondering if you are with other girls or want other girls.

I asked him and he just gets angry and ask why I'm asking questions

Nope. If he's cheating on you, he suggests you go out w/family or friends so he CAN see his "side kick" (telling you he's playing basketball, etc).
