Finding out that your spouse is cheating on you can be devastating. Which is why it’s important to know the signs that can tell you if your spouse could be unfaithful in your marriage.
Narcissism
Narcissism, or extreme self-centered behavior is one of the clear signs that your spouse might cheat on you. Narcissists believe that they’re entitled to whatever they want, so the way they act shows that they don’t care about anyone.
This type of behavior means that if they choose to cheat on you for whatever reason, then they would just do it without any qualms or fears. If you feel that your partner might have narcissistic behavior, then the best thing that you can do would be to talk to your partner, or look for a marriage counselor to help you out in your marriage.
Acting Out
Acting out, or expressing anger in a violent or destructive manner, and antisocial behavior are both important signs that your spouse might be a potential cheater. This type of behavior shows signs of psychopathy that’s not only bad for your marriage, but can also be potentially dangerous to you.
If your spouse can be violent, and even hurts you at times, don’t turn yourself into a victim. Talk to your spouse or get help from a counselor or other people to help fix your problems. However, if you feel that your spouse will just hurt you even more, then it might be time to consider walking away.
Low Intimacy
Unfaithful partners don’t get romantic, they become infatuated, but they can’t get close to their partners. Sometimes, unfaithful partners act that way because they don’t feel safe in an intimate and committed relationship. This is the reason why they look to other people to fill that need.
If you feel that you’re losing the intimacy in your relationship, and you have fears that it might be because your partner is cheating, then talk to them about it. Express your concerns and ask them first why the intimacy is lacking in your relationship. If possible, talk to a marriage counselor to help you.
Lastly, the important thing to remember would be to not be too paranoid. In some cases, being too paranoid can cause problems in your relationship, especially if your spouse is not unfaithful.
