You can easily expose a cheating spouse sometimes even before physical cheating takes place if you know what to look for. It is just that most people are blind to the signs and do not know them when they see them. If you think your spouse may be or could want to cheat, then you must read on.

Spouses that are cheating or want to cheat have patterns of behavior. The cheating may not have actually taken place yet but there is a strong potential that it could if you do not know what to look for and stop it ahead of time. The sooner you catch on to what is going on, the less likely you are to look like a fool later and you may be able to save the relationship. Let us look at the signs for which you need to look for.

- Your spouse has a tendency to work late a lot, but the paychecks do not seem to be getting any larger. This could be a cover up for meets ups with his or her new love interest.

- Your spouse has to suddenly take overnight trips out of town for work. This is a real problem when the out of town trips happen on the weekend especially if he or she has never had to work weekends before.

- There seems to be less love in the bedroom. If the sex stops or slows down at home, then your spouse may be getting it somewhere else. He or she may feel guilty during sex with you and seem to be detached or preoccupied.

- If your spouse seems to be argumentative or even accuses you of having an affair with someone else, then he or she may be trying to cover up his or her own activities.

- Your spouse takes up a new hobby or interest that does not seem to match their personality. This can be a sign especially if you have no interest in the activity. For example, your spouse has never played golf and you hate golf...then he starts playing golf three or four times per week without you.

He or she may have become interested in the new activity because their newly found mate likes to do it. This way your spouse gets good at it and has a reason to go do the activity without you. This gives him or her a chance to do the activity with their new love mate. Try tagging along the next few times. This will surely put a dent in their plans.

- If your spouse suddenly starts to take more concern for his or her looks, such as a new hairstyle, clothes, cologne or loses a lot of weight. These could be signs that he or she is trying to impress someone else. Using an exorbitant amount of cologne could also be used to cover up their new love mate's cologne or smell.

Learning to know the signs can help you stop an affair before it happens and help you get your relationship back on track.
