Key Takeaways

  • Biggest red flags he’s sleeping with someone else: avoids intimacy, has unexplained marks, smells different, changes grooming habits, and keeps a secret phone.
  • Don’t accuse him of cheating without concrete proofs.

  • For a cheating husband, it’s totally your call – marriage is more complex.
  • If you’re stuck and can’t decide what to do, talk to an expert relationship coach.

How to Know if He’s Hiding an Affair? 10 Clues

1. He’s Never in the Mood to Get Physical With You.

The girl wants to get physical but the guy is just unwilling to do anything.

Have you recently noticed less action between the sheets? If your guy is suddenly not as eager for the intimate moments as usual, it’s a little alarm bell. 

Initially, he was super into all the crazy, fun, and exciting activities in bed. But now, all of a sudden, that eagerness to give you a good time is tapering off. 

Guess what? It might be happening because he’s getting the action from someone else. 

You now have to initiate deeds with him. And even when you do, he always hits you with the “Hey, I’ve had a long day, not tonight” or “Let’s do it tomorrow” – The same guy who was always crazy about having a good time with you!

Men do have days when they don’t feel like getting physical. But here’s the thing – they can’t go long without doing it! So, there might be another woman involved here! 

2. You Notice Some Unusual Marks on His Body.

Your guy returned from work today, and you noticed a mysterious mark on his neck. You asked him about it, and he dodged the question. Cool. No worries.

But now it has become a regular thing. You notice some bruises on his body most days of the week. Well, it’s an eye-brow raiser!

Those marks could be hickeys if they seem a bit off and weird. I mean, yeah, accidents happen, but how are such marks always there? 

It’s a blaring sign that he’s been having physical relations with someone else. He may give you all the bullshit in the world that he’s clumsy, or he keeps running into things. But let’s accept this – we all know what hickeys look like! 

3. He’s Always Physically Exhausted.

A physically exhausted guy.

Okay, so all of a sudden, your guy seems more tired than usual. You ask him to help you with the chores; he’s tired. You ask him for a nice, romantic dinner; he’s tired.

But weirdly, his routine seems the same. You don’t see him indulging in any other activity other than work. And it’s been going on for a while. So, why is he suddenly so worn out and tired?

Well, it could be because he spends all his time entertaining the other woman he sleeps with. Maybe he has to drive himself to see her after work. Or he has to put in some extra effort to sleep with her. With all the ‘extra work’ he’s been doing, he’s left with little to no energy when he comes back home. 

4. His Clothes Smell Differently.

So, let’s get real about one sneaky sign that might ring a bell – You smell a different perfume on your man’s clothes daily.

You know your man’s cologne very well. And this is not it. Okay, maybe he has a different choice these days. But why does it smell so feminine? My friend, trust your nose instincts; it’s most definitely the other woman on his clothes. 

If this change seems sudden and unexplained, it might be worth paying attention to. Girl, this may not be normal, and he’s trying to sneak this past you.

See, it’s okay if it happened once or twice; several explanations could exist. But, if you smell this familiar perfume on him regularly, it’s a classic sign he is hiding an intimate relationship.

5. He Grooms Differently.

You notice how people have their usual grooming routines, right? Well, if your guy starts switching things up suddenly, like trying new hairstyles, changing how he grooms, or experimenting with his look, it should catch your attention. 

Now, I’m not saying a new haircut automatically means he’s up to something, but when grooming habits shift unexpectedly, it can be a bit suspicious.

If he’s making these changes without an apparent reason, chances are, he’s doing this for someone else. Maybe he’s trying to impress another girl who prefers him in this new, cooler look.

6. He Has an Alternate Phone.

A guy having an alternate phone.

Have you recently noticed a second mysterious phone in his hand? You found it hidden in your man’s work bag or somewhere in his wardrobe?

It is not like a backup phone for emergencies or a spare from work; it’s just this sleek, unfamiliar device. And you know this because you’ve never seen him use it.

So, why in the world would he need a second phone?

Let me tell you – It’s a tool for maintaining a separate communication channel. It’s not the spare phone itself that’s the issue. It’s what he’s using it for. And he certainly doesn’t want you to know about it.

Maybe there’s a side of his life that he’s keeping from you. Or perhaps he’s using it to communicate with a ‘special’ someone he’s sleeping with.

7. He’s Suddenly Into Physical Fitness.

So, out of nowhere, your man has started this intense fitness regimen – hitting the gym regularly, joining fitness classes, and swapping pizza nights for healthy smoothies.

I mean, okay, who doesn’t want a partner committed to fitness? But maybe there may be something more to the story.

Have those gym sessions turned into longer hours away from home? If yes, then maybe it’s a cover for a developing physical connection with someone else.

Girl, don’t be fooled by his sudden burst of ‘fitness’ energy. He could be channeling all this newfound energy and discipline into someone else. Maybe the other woman is a fitness freak, and to continue sleeping with her, he’s trying to level up his fitness game. It’s all possible!

8. He Stutters a Lot.

A guy stuttering while a girl ask him, "How was his trip?"

Okay, you’ve noticed something very peculiar about your man recently. Your usually articulate man and a smooth talker now stutters even if you ask him simple questions.

It was subtle at first, just a hesitation here and there. But the more you pay attention, the more it seems his words stumble over themselves. The stuttering becomes pronounced when you ask him about recent trips with his ‘friends’ or any recent activity. 

Well, it’s more of an internal conflict. Maybe the guilt and shame are making an appearance through his speech. Perhaps his infidelity is consuming him, and he can’t help it. 

My dear, it could be a sign he’s betraying you. Just think about it: why else would he stutter if he has nothing to hide?

9. He Has Adopted Strange Habits.

Your man, who was once an open book, now has moments of whispered phone conversations and a general reluctance to discuss his day in detail. There are sudden changes in his schedule. Meetings run late, and there are unexpected trips to the grocery store at odd hours.

He’s also showing a sudden interest in privacy. He has started closing doors that were always left ajar. He’s now overly cautious about you catching a glimpse of his activities. 

My friend, these are not innocent quirks. It’s part of a giant puzzle. These are some eyebrow-raising habits. To keep entertaining the other lady, he may be exhibiting such peculiar habits.

10. His Sleep Schedule Has Changed.

A guy sleeping while his girlfriend is awake because of his changed sleep schedule.

There was a time when you both used to fall asleep together, chatting about your day or just enjoying the quiet moments before drifting off. It was a comforting part of your routine.

But now things have taken a turn for the worse! You now notice your guy staying up later. And when you ask him what’s wrong, he gives vague explanations about work stress. Okay, that makes sense. 

But let me ask you: Have you ever heard him whispering at night? Or maybe leaving your room late at night? 

If yes, this could mean he might be talking to someone else during those late hours. And if it’s a woman, he most certainly is sleeping with her.

Should You Instantly Accuse Him of Infidelity If You Relate to these Signs?

I know you’re probably feeling all kinds of upset right now. But let me tell you something – don’t rush to accuse him just yet.

These signs we talked about? They’re just the starting point. They make you more suspicious, sure, but they’re not solid proof. You need real evidence before you confront him about cheating.

So what should you do? Keep your eyes open. Pay attention to his behavior. Look for more clues. But don’t jump to conclusions. You don’t want to mess up your relationship over a misunderstanding, right?

Take your time to gather more information. When you have concrete proof, then you can think about confronting him. Until then, stay alert but keep calm.

How to Talk About this Topic With Your Partner?

So, you suspect he’s cheating and now you’re wondering how to bring it up. I get it – it’s scary.

Firstly, take a deep breath. You don’t want to start this conversation all fired up. Choose a time when you’re both calm and have privacy.

When you talk to him, be direct but not accusatory. Say something like, “I’ve noticed some changes lately, and I’m feeling worried. Can we talk about it?” This opens the door without putting him on the defensive right away.

Listen to what he has to say. Really listen. Don’t interrupt or jump to conclusions. Give him a chance to explain. Maybe there’s something else going on that you don’t know about.

Be ready for any reaction. He might get upset, defensive, or even angry. Stay calm. If things get too heated, it’s okay to take a break and come back to the conversation later.

What to Do If You Find Out He’s Actually Cheating?

So, your worst fears came true. He’s really cheating. Now what?

Listen. It’s okay to be upset. Take some time to just feel your feelings. Cry, scream into a pillow, or call your bestie. Whatever you need to do.

Now, if we’re talking about a boyfriend, here’s my take: Why stay with someone who doesn’t value you? You deserve so much better than a guy who’s sleeping around. I know people can change, but that rarely happens. Imo, once a cheater, always a cheater. But yeah, it’s your call if you still want to give him another chance.

But if we’re talking about husband, it’s a bit more complicated and I don’t usually comment on it. Marriage is a deeper bond, and only you know if you can rebuild that trust. It’s totally up to you if you want to try and work things out.

I know making this decision is hard. Like, really hard. If you’re feeling stuck, talking to a relationship coach might help. They can give you some outside perspective. I’ve heard good things about “Relationship Hero” if you’re looking for someone to chat with. Here’s the link.

Whatever you decide, make sure it’s what YOU want. Don’t let anyone pressure you. Your happiness is what matters most here.

How to Rebuild Trust if You Choose to Forgive Him?

So, even after everything, you’ve decided to give your man another chance. Hats off to your courage! It won’t be easy, but if you’re both ready, here are a few tips from my side to help rebuild that trust:

  • Demand complete honesty: Make him spill everything about the cheating. No more secrets!
  • Look for genuine remorse: Words are cheap. He needs to show he’s sorry through his actions.
  • Open up those communication lines: Talk about what happened and why. It’ll be tough, but it’s necessary.
  • Set new boundaries: Create new rules that make you feel secure. Maybe he checks in more often?
  • Work on forgiveness: It’s a process, not a quick fix. Take your time with this one.
  • Consider couples therapy: A pro can help you out in this journey (And Relationship Hero is the best choice).
  • Be patient: Trust doesn’t come back overnight. It’s gonna take time.
  • Watch his consistency: His efforts to rebuild trust should be constant, not just when he feels like it.
  • Take care of yourself: Don’t forget about your own needs during this process.
  • Reassess regularly: Check in with yourself. Are things really getting better?

Conclusion

Hey girl, that’s it for today. 

I know it wasn’t very easy for you to read this blog. I’m sure you’re going through a rollercoaster of emotions right now. But I just wanted to help you out here.

I hope you’re able to cope with this situation.

FAQs

Yes it can. But that’s really really hard! It requires intense efforts from both the partners.

Sure, sometimes our own stuff can cause issues. Maybe you’ve been extra clingy or starting arguments over small things. That can make a guy pull back.

So, Take a good look at your behavior. Have you changed lately? Are you more jealous than before? Be honest with yourself.

Now think about his actions. Did he start acting weird before or after you changed? If he was being shady first, it’s probably not about you.

Talk to him. Ask if something’s bugging him. If he can’t give you a straight answer, that’s fishy.

And yeah, here’s the thing: even if you have some personal issues, that doesn’t give him freedom to cheat. Never. Cheating is a choice, and it’s not your fault if he makes that choice.
