| A friend of mine got home from a trip one day early to surprise his wife and she surprised him with a visitor. That was a pretty clear sign. I remember this happening to a professional baseball player a number of years ago. He had been traded but they hadn’t moved but he came home to surprise her. |
| Are women better at hiding their tracks or is it that men are less suspicious and/or in denial? |
Women are way better at hiding their tracks, once mine knew I was onto her she did a CIA level sanitization of phones, pads and computers. There were only faint traces before the discovery |
| Her AP’s wife shows up at your house. |
| She's got bruises on the inside of her mouth. Try to inspect when she's asleep |
Women usually don’t cheat for sex. They cheat because something is missing (or they feel like something is missing), and/or as an exit affair. So you have a situation where 1) the husband isn’t paying attention (what’s usually “missing” from the relationship), and/or 2) she’s gearing up to leave (thus very aware of any signals she is giving off). |

My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee. Unfortunately, she was just coming home.

The number one thing nowadays will ALWAYS be the phone. More guarded, new passcode, turning over when setting it down, taking into the bathroom - basically glued. Will not turn over even for inocuous things without hard shoulder surfing to make sure you're not creeping in other areas.
So - just ask for the phone - and see the fireworks. |

Things in general (outside of phone):
Taking more care at looks - new haircut, clothes, "working out" all of the sudden Suddenly has unaccounted time - longer getting home from work, needs to work late, needs to all of the sudden work weekend or nights, suddenly work needs them to go on a trip Becomes highly critical and annoyed at everything - and vocal about it May bring up unhappiness in general - about "life", "choices", "never wanted to get married", "need to find themselves" - looks like midlife or existential crisis Becomes hostile and/or emotional and sudden outbursts requiring need to "get away for a few hours" Needs "me" time - a lot of it - that doesn't include you or the kids |
Most people just get a burner phone. |
Maybe - if they're pros or at it for a while, but first affair and just getting into it they are not going to be that clever. |
Lol - I’ve had a couple cycles of gaining a little weight and then I go nuts working out to get it off, which inevitably leads to weight loss, more confidence, new clothes, dressing up bc I know I look good again etc. and then I want to have more sex w DH bc I feel better about myself. I’ve never had, nor ever considered, an affair. |
OP asked for possible signs. These are possible signs. No one is suggesting that if you buy new clothes you're boinking someone else. It's simply a list of things that you can look for if you're suspecting and take the totality of incidents and changes to look at the issue objectively. Honestly - this is your contribution? Read the room. |
| Sheesh. I’m a SAHM since Covid and in the past two years have tried to de-frump myself. I groom more, dress better, and bought myself underwear that wasn’t junky. I hope DH isn’t suspicious… I’m doing it for him! It helps me feel more like a woman too which helps my waning libido. |
| I take my phone with me into the bathroom all the time. Don’t you guys want entertainment while you’re doing all your boring things? |
