Seven Signs Your Guy’s a Cheat

Women are guilty of having affairs too, but in most cases, it’s the man who gets love-busy with a second or third partner. Learn to read the signs and decide if your guy is one of them. Your intuition would’ve already perked up its sharp antennas, so these signs are just here to clarify what you already know in your heart.
-
He cancels last minute when you’ve made plans to go out in public
He won’t want you to think that he doesn’t want to be seen with you, so he’ll say yes to any plans you’ve made. However, he’ll usually come up with a somewhat flimsy excuse at the last minute as to why he can’t go. He’ll encourage you to go with your friends and have a good time and will manage to make his way back to you once the outing is finished. He’s happy to stay in and watch a movie or chat afterwards, anything but go out in a crowd on the proper date you’ve waited for so long.
-
Your dates are always in the same place on the same side of town
Chances are the other lady lives on the opposite side of town to where your occasional dates are. When he’s sure she’s not going to be around he’ll take you out, but to an area and in a place where she’s least likely to be.
-
You’re not welcome to spend time with his friends/family
He doesn’t like it if you suggest hanging out with his mates, but especially if you suggest spending time with his sisters, cousins or other female relatives. He may trust his friends (to an extent) to keep his secrets, but he’s nervous that his female relatives won’t. Whenever or (if) you see his mum, he never leaves you two on your own. This is not because he’s so much in love with you (he doesn’t act so clingy otherwise), it’s because he’s afraid she may slip up and call you by someone else’s name.
-
His eyes roam when you’re out
Not only does he look at other women on the rare occasions you go out together, his eyes spend more time on the things happening around him than they do on you. The man who sits next to you on the sofa is a different man in the street. A man who’s double timing always feels nervous that he’ll be found out at any moment. He’s got to be vigilant and make sure that he’s not being seen by the wrong people. He also wants to keep his options open. He’s the cheating type so two partners are never enough. To him, there is always the possibility that a better lady will come along. If he plays his cards right the next time he sees her (when on his own) he can claim that you two were having trouble, so he can’t ever seem too devoted to you.

Hi Anne,
Um…I’m not a cheater so I can’t say whether this is good advice but I’m sure it probably is if you are the author. Nice work.

Great signs! They certainly apply to cheaters..

Once, I have been a cheater, so definitely i agree with most of the signs pointed out.

Another winner, Ann.
If a guy is going to cheat he needs to stay single. Don’t drag someone else into your world only to hurt them later. And also once a cheat…always a cheat. Steer clear of that type ladies!

Anne, your tips are always right on and this is no exception. I cannot tolerate a cheater!

Good tips and I think most women catch it right away when a man cheats. If not I think it’s because they don’t want to see.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. Ourel and spoiledhoops, it will only get men into trouble if they’ve got something to hide.

Hate to rain on parades but statistically the women is more likely to cheat.

Wow, but the odds are so ridiculously high that a NORMAL man would be doing half or most of these things (at least to degrees that any suspicious woman would notice) that you can’t POSSIBLY be putting this fearful, insecurity-inducing shit down women’s throats…
Example: what if a man – like YOU, and half the people on the planet – likes to take calls away from everyone, or looks at the online profiles of his Ex’s (because you WOULD), or have a password on his laptop/phone/etc (so that *people* don’t break in), or likes to take you to the same place/area on dates (this is like EVERY person), or calls you by nicknames, etc, etc, etc…
I can not STAND the fear (and possible nasty situations) that these articles create.
