Is YOUR husband ready to have an affair? These are six warning signs you should be aware of
A London-based performance coach has revealed the six signs to look out for with a cheating partner
IN a healthy and loving marriage it’s important to trust your partner implicitly.
Yet, at some point, they may be tempted to stray and it’s important to know the warning signs.
Dr Amy Iversen is a London-based performance coach.
She’s recently revealed to Femail the six major signs that precede an affair and whether you’re in a relationship or not, it’s important to take note of them all.
“No matter how strong you believe your relationship to be, it is likely there will come a day when your partner feels tempted,” she told Femail.
She continued that as women, we instinctively know when something is up.
“We have a sixth sense and we should trust that,” she said.
“Every relationship is different but there are a number of indicators that precede almost every affair.
“With a cool head and a cold hard look at the facts, the truth will reveal itself.
“Asking yourself the following six questions will reveal if you genuinely need to worry.”
What does his upbringing reveal?
It should come as no surprise that men from broken families with a history of infidelity are more likely to cheat.
If your man comes from an abusive, strict or troubled family background, they are also more likely to stray.
What does his previous behaviour tell you?
Does your partner have a history of cheating? Is he addicted to porn or sexting?
These can be early signs of a predisposition to infidelity.
Also, take a look at his social circle: does he have a lot of friends or close family who’ve been unfaithful to their partners?
His reaction to people he’s close with and their cheating behaviours will reveal where his morals lie.
What’s going on his life right now?
Getting fired, promoted or retiring can also affect a man's self-confidence and interest in exploring sexual opportunity.
Surprisingly, death is also a powerful aphrodisiac and can make the idea of an affair more appealing.
Behavioural changes?
A man’s behaviour is most likely to change and be affected at the beginning of the affair.
Suddenly, he could be spending a lot more time on his appearance. A new haircut, aftershave or an obsession with working out are all telling signs.
Other obvious signs, such as taking calls in a different room and engaging heavily in social media should be considered too.
In the early stages of an affair, it’s your chance to catch him out. He will be in a euphoric state and less subtle than later on.
So watch for a dramatic shift in behaviour.
Is your relationship different?
Ask yourself: do I feel like something is different or clouded in this relationship?
Is your man more critical, irritated or on edge? Often a man considering infidelity will need to emotionally justify his decision and this is the way it will come out.
He may be moody with you or guarded.
The prospect of an affair will also most certainly affect your sex life.
Rather than absconding from sex, he could have an increased libido.
Alternatively, he could turn away from you all together.
What’s changed in your life?
Or indeed has anything changed?
Truthfully, his affair is NOT your fault. Changes within your own life, however, may push him to stray.
If they feel neglected or unloved, men are more open to the prospect of cheating.
The appeal of adultery is often his own innate need to feel special once more.
Ask yourself: have I been neglecting my partner? Are the kids taking up my time, or do I no longer invest in our relationship?
Anything that makes him feeling less important than he once did could contribute to the likelihood of him cheating.
