In a long-distance relationship, it can sometimes be difficult to maintain trust in your partner. Temptations abound and absence often raises questions about the other’s feelings and actions. How can you identify these signs that could indicate infidelity in your relationship? Here are some warning signals not to be ignored if you suspect your other half of having extra-marital affairs.
Changes in Communication
A sudden decrease in contacts
One of the early warning signs of a long-distance infidelity is a significant reduction in communication between partners. If your spouse takes longer to respond to your messages, or completely stops interacting with you, this could be an indication of suspicious behavior.
Less engaging and intimate conversations
Similarly, the quality of exchanges can also reveal a deception. A distant partner, who avoids personal questions or seems less interested in your daily life, may be concerned with something other than your relationship.
Unusual or secretive behaviors
Mystery surrounding his activities and his schedule
- A sudden refusal to share details about his day, his encounters or his hobbies, whereas he was previously very open about his activities.
- A hesitation to mention weekend activities, leaving ambiguity about what he does outside of work.
Protected social network accounts
Also be mindful of changes in the use of social networks, particularly if some accounts have switched to private mode or if you are suddenly blocked from certain posts.
Excuses and justifications that don’t hold up
An elusive partner
When faced with various questions such as:
- Why didn’t you answer my call?
- Where are you from ?
Unfaithful individuals tend to provide vague or implausible explanations rather than admitting the truth.
The feeling of always being questioned
Cheating spouses may also try to change the subject when you express your worries or question your intuition. This behavior is often used to avoid having to talk about their actions.
Changes in the general routine
Mood changes and fluctuating emotions
An unfaithful partner may experience a range of different emotions, from guilt to anger, through to a desire to escape the relationship. If you sense that your spouse is having mood swings for no apparent reason, something might be going on.
A suddenly renewed attention or increased sexual interest
Paradoxically, a deceitful person can appear more attentive and loving in their interactions with you in order to dispel suspicions. This can also include a sudden increase in attention to physical or personal appearance.
How to approach the subject with your partner ?
Find the right time
Choose a time when you are both calm and relaxed to discuss your concerns. The conversation will thus be more constructive and avoid accusations or heated arguments.
Show Diplomacy and Tact
Suspicions are not accusations.Therefore, do not directly accuse your partner of being unfaithful, but rather express your feelings and ask him/her to share their thoughts on what could explain these warning signals.
