00:05 Has your partner been acting strange lately?
00:09 Do you suspect they're seeing someone behind your back?
00:12 Changes in your partner's behavior may feel subtle, but could be red flags that tell you something's wrong.
00:18 Here are 10 signs your partner might be cheating on you.
00:21 Before we get into it, I'd just like to say hello to everybody and a big thank you to Psych2Go for letting me be a guest in this video.
00:28 You might recognize my voice from other videos such as "9 Signs You're Secretly a Cat" and "8 Signs You're Actually in Love."
00:35 Thanks, Psych2Go. Let's get into it.
00:37 Number 1. They're obsessed with their looks.
00:41 Has your partner been more interested in their beauty lately?
00:44 Suddenly, they're hitting the gym more than usual and making a point to show off their looks on social media.
00:50 Sure, they might be doing it for themselves, but it also might not be just for you.
00:56 Loving the gym doesn't make somebody unfaithful, but if someone's cheating on you, chances are they're pumping iron.
01:03 Number 2. They're no longer interested in sex with you.
01:08 While it's natural for many couples to have less sex as their relationship progresses,
01:13 it can be a red flag when they're suddenly not interested in having sex with you at all.
01:18 Although there can be many reasons to refuse sex, it's good to talk to them if they constantly postpone or turn you down without a reason.
01:26 Number 3. They're more attentive to you than normal.
01:30 Just as it can be a sign when your partner is suddenly not interested in sex,
01:34 it can also be a warning if they suddenly show you too much affection.
01:38 They might give you constant displays of affection and may even want to have sex with you more times in a day than you can take.
01:46 They may smother you with love to cover up the guilt they feel for their betrayal.
01:51 Number 4. They always talk badly about another person.
01:55 You could take this at face value, they might just not like the person.
01:59 But there's room for judgment here.
02:01 Is your partner always complaining about a co-worker or friend,
02:05 telling you how gross and unattractive they are when they really aren't?
02:09 They might be trying to cover up their secret that the person they keep talking about is a secret lover.
02:15 Number 5. They are constantly arguing with you.
02:19 Has your partner been picking fights with you?
02:22 Are they always upset at you for some reason?
02:25 They might be unhappy in the relationship and are comparing you to their new secret lover.
02:30 Some cheating partners may even threaten to break up in the middle of arguments.
02:35 This might feel cruel and controlling, but what they want is for you to agree and end the relationship,
02:41 solving the problem they've created.
02:44 Number 6. They have low self-esteem.
02:47 Does your partner need constant validation?
02:50 Partners with low self-esteem may seek or respond to validation from strangers
02:55 when it's about their looks and desirability.
02:58 Strangers at bars or online and easily woo these flirty people.
03:03 If you don't tell them every day that they are your world, they'll find somebody else that does.
03:09 Number 7. They're defensive with their phone.
03:13 Of course, we're all entitled to our privacy.
03:15 Being in a relationship with someone does not grant you free access to their phone or social media accounts.
03:22 But if your partner works really hard to ensure you don't see who or what they text
03:28 or get snappy with you when you just glance at their screen,
03:31 there might be something they're hiding from you.
03:34 Number 8. They get texts at odd hours from strangers.
03:39 Does their phone light up with messages from unlisted numbers and people you've never heard of?
03:45 It can be a sign if your partner is suddenly getting texts from strangers at odd hours of the night,
03:50 especially if it's accompanied by their change in mood or behavior.
03:54 In this case, they might have some explaining to do.
03:58 Number 9. They project their behavior onto you.
04:01 Has your partner accused you of cheating out of the blue?
04:04 Even though you've never done it, projecting is a defense mechanism
04:08 where you attach things you don't like about yourself onto other people.
04:12 People who cheat may project their behavior on you by accusing you of cheating.
04:17 They might bring it up as a serious accusation or even as a repeated joke.
04:22 Number 10. Your intuition's telling you something is wrong.
04:26 Does it feel like something's wrong in your relationship?
04:29 Sometimes, you just have to trust your gut.
04:32 When your partner's overall attitude and the feeling you get from your relationship changes,
04:37 there's no one better than you to know when something's up.
04:40 Remember, you can't accuse them of cheating without proof,
04:44 but it's always a good idea to have a discussion with them first.
04:48 Of course, everyone's a little guilty of these behaviors at one time or another,
04:53 but it's all about what feels out of place for us and what seems excessive.
04:57 Do you see any of these red flags in your relationship?
