Did any of you read this? What do you consider red flags for infidelity?

I'm not the most observant person in the world and the only way I have ever know if some was being unfaithful was by either confession or stumbling onto it....and I've always been completely shocked.

For example, last year my husband started talking to his ex-wife again. It had gone on for goodness knows how long before I ever had any idea! I never suspected he was doing anything wrong and probably would never had none if someone that worked with him didn't let it slip while I was in hearing range.

I went home and pulled up all of his cell phone bills online, the ones I had been looking at each month when I paid it....and saw her number all over them.  I wasn't inspecting our cell phone bill because I had no reason to suspect he was doing any thing wrong... Looking back, I suppose there were a few subtle hints but they were subtle enough I never caught on.

So, it always intrigues me when I hear about people knowing their significant other was being unfaithful. When I ask them how, they just say..." I just knew they were." So I'm curious. HOW do you just know? Are there specific signs you personally watch for? Or do you base it on intuition? And how do you feel about certain personality traits being associated with infidelity. While I understand how the points in this article make sense....I can think of a dozen men with these traits that have never cheated...despise cheating...and probably won't ever cheat (Although I can't guarantee it...lol)

What do you think?

    1.  They yell and get defensive when you question them about where they have been... but they always have a good answer.
     
    2.  They accuse you of cheating.
     
    3.  They do all the other little things they are supposed to do--to keep up appearances.
     
    Well, this is some of the things my ex did--his defensive mode turned to such anger that I got angry.  Then my anger became a reason for him to want a divorce.  But he didn't leave.  I had to.  And I was so miserable by that time that I just left and gave up everything and didn't even fight him.
     
    Plus, he was a "Mama's boy."  He actually hated women.  He let his mother control him, then he came home and controlled me. (to get back at her, or because he couldn't control her)    Every woman he got with after that, he tried to control. 
     
    I am happily married.  He is divorced again.  And still single.  Looking for that one woman he can control and still fool around on.....
     
    Good luck, dear old ex....

    I saw it a couple of weeks ago.  My ex cheated on me and the only one that didn't fit was the yelling part.  He did make me think I was crazy for thinking he was cheating but he didn't yell.  And yes, I knew for a long time.  I just couldn't prove it.  Little things mostly but the main thing was intuition. 
    I wish you well.

    One way to tell is if you find that your spouse is constantly with somebody else, often talks about that person, and is fucking them.

    Another good way to tell is if your spouse calls you on the phone and as soon as you hang up, they start fucking someone else.

    Another tipoff is if you get home and want to have sex and your spouse says no, I have just been fucking someone else.

    Momsrock thank you for saying you can not guarntee you won't.  I think anyone that says absolutely they won't either lives at home and never goes out or lives in a monostery or nun's home.  First I don't encourage cheating it can be a very bad scene if you are caught and it will end what you have for a relationship for a moment of fun.  I travel a lot in business and I can tell you I have never set out to cheat and did my best not to do it but on one or two ocasions I got caught up in the moment and did.  Cheating does not have to be the end of a relationship but an ongoing cheating over a length of time usually does.  I guess I can say I was not caught and if I did it again I would make sure I did not get caught.  There are times in a marrage you are tempted beyound your ability to resist.  This happens most often when one or the other (wives cheat almost as often as men) begins to thing the other partner does not understand or any of a million reasons that the trust is broken in the moment.  This opens the door for it to happen.  Again I am not advising any form of cheating but it can happen.  It often happens with women that have service people in to do repairs also women who work become too much of a work spouse an it just happens.
