The Signs of A Cheating Boyfriend You Don't Want to Overlook

By Alicia Adams


Did you ever discover something that you wish you hadn't? This is the same reason many women know in their hearts they've been cheated on, but remain in denial. They've seen the signs of cheating boyfriend but refuse to truly notice them.

It's 2008 and it seems that the idea of monogamy has disappeared from the earth and now we live in a state of infidelity and lies. Love is no longer cherished for what it is, it's no loner a commitment, it's a chore.

Fifty percent does seem high, and when I saw it I had the same reaction you're probably having right nowdisbelief. I then went on to research that there are only a small minority of people who actually do something about it.

You've found this article, so you're already ahead of the curve. This is a huge step as it means that we share the same common trait that empower us women; the power to take action and not let bad things happen to us. We have dignity and self esteem, making us untouchable to the emotional damage a cheating boyfriend may try to bestow upon us.

It's an emotional roller-coaster. But this roller-coaster isn't scary in the conventional analogy. This is that roller-coaster at the annual state fair that you are terrified for your physical safety. You are scared for your life that it will fall apart and ultimately end in your demise.

There are many times in our lives where we know we have to take action but we are scared. We want to move forward so badly, but just can't find the strength to do it. This makes us feel pretty miserable, but yet we still seem to live with this fear and misery, even though we have the power to overcome it.

GET A GRIP! This is your life. You call the shots. (At least you probably used to.) Regain control and take back your confidence. Here are the some of the most prevalent signs of a cheating boyfriend, and how to remedy this situation once and for all.

- "Hmmm...Honey, you know I am not one of those controlling girlfriends, but uuhh...where have you been!?! It 6 o'clock in the morning!" This is one of the more obvious signs of a cheating boyfriend, but one that is overlooked many...many times.

- Your once raging sex life has all but completely disappeared.

- Does your boyfriend fall under the repeat offender list when it comes to unfaithful behavior? Perhaps you have a clue already that you haven't looked into. Depending on your man's stories about past relationships this could be valuable evidence in building your case.

- Are you being avoided? Has that sparkle in his eye morphed into an unwarranted distant gaze? This is what I like to call Ducking Behavior.

- You have short brown hair, but you keep finding long blond hair on your boyfriends shirt, car, pantsetc.

- Paper Trail. Yes, conduct this step "Watergate Style". Have you noticed any recent purchases from your favorite jewelry store, waited as all of the relevant gift giving holidays have passed and no gift?

- Does he use the computer so much he could be a member of the IT support team at work. The age of the computer has brought a whole new game to the cheating world. It makes it easier than ever to cheatand even easier to pick up the signs of a cheating boyfriend and catch him.

- Ah yes, The ever so popular cell phone! Any new trends in his usage or lack thereof? How about texting, or vibrating ringer. How about not answering calls? Out of all the signs of a cheating boyfriend, this is one of the easiest to pick up on and get proof of infidelity.

- Are his friends working in collusion with these question provoking scenarios? Men suck at covering for one another. Can you spot the inconsistencies?

- Do you feel like your doing all the work in the relationship without any effort from your significant other. If he shows this sign of a cheating boyfriend, even if he's not cheatingget rid of him! You deserve better.

Remember, we still have to build a solid case before we make any attempt at questioning your suspected cheating boyfriend. This will only hurt our chances of gathering concrete evidence! As women, we often think we have plenty of evidence, yet since we cannot predict how our suspected boyfriend will answer, we must be prepared to answer his every excuse with a fact. Remember, he can't deny anything, once you have solid proof!
