Dear Dr. Fritz,
Call me Mikaela. I have been married for five years now. Lately, I have been suspecting that my husband is cheating. But, I wanted to know the signs of cheating from you to support my hunch.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Mikaela of Apo View,
I hope these 10 well-known signs of cheating can clear your thoughts:
1. He is very protective of his electronic devices
Usually, when a partner is cheating over the net, either over their computer or phone, they would be overly protective of their electronic devices or defensive about it, which might mean that they don’t want you to know who they are talking to.
2. There are times when you can’t reach him – at a point when you don’t know where he is.
When your husband simply disappears and you are clueless about where he is – then, he doesn’t want to tell you who is he with.
3. His sexual interaction changes
While you may think that he would have less sex with you since he already has another partner,, in some men, cheating would make them energized in bed and others would make it with you in bed more often to make up with you, and you would not be suspecting him.
4. His explanations are inconsistent
Liars would usually try their best to repeat the same story each time they lie. But, as you start digging into his explanations, and he would be under stress, he will be giving you later inconsistent information. So, if your husband would give you conflicting explanations of where they are, what they are doing, and more, then, more likely your hunch is correct.
5. Change of schedule
If he has been suddenly working late, even if his job doesn’t require it, then, the truth may be so far away.
Whoops! Since we’re running out of space, let me continue this in my next issue. Until then!
