Signs Your Girlfriend Is Cheating On You

Noticing signs your girlfriend is cheating on you is not something you want to think about, but it’s better to be aware and then you can dump her if the rumors are true. No one wants to be made a fool of, but if you want options, hang around until you find someone else. However, if she’s not cheating, pretend you never were suspicious. Just don’t let her catch you doing it.

  1. She’s suddenly too busy to get together. When she is consistently unavailable with no explanation and evasive when you ask why, this is a sign your girlfriend is cheating on you.
  2. When you attempt to borrow your girlfriend’s phone, your lady refuses. You should get uneasy because this is a sign your girlfriend is cheating on you. If she makes the call for you, she’s hiding evidence of sexy texts she received from someone else.
  3. You only get her voicemail when you call and never reach her directly anymore. Chances are she’s either screening your calls so she can concentrate  on the guy she really wants to be with. She’s on a long weekend trip with him or maybe she's camped out at his apartment and wants no interruptions.
  4. She’s stopped spoiling you and she addresses you by your first name. No more unexpected calls with “I love you.” No more back rubs or homemade fudge. She’s doesn’t call you “baby,” "honey" or “sweet.” She’s never around, anyway.
  5. She’s got a faraway look in her eyes. She does not remember what you say to her because she’s thinking of him. She laughs unexpectedly, even tenderly. It’s a private joke and you are not invited.  
  6. Your girlfriend gets impatient with little habits about you she once found endearing. She can’t tolerate your impression of a stoned marshmallow when it used to make her giggle. She suddenly hates your beard and she hates the cookie crumbs around your mouth instead of lovingly brushing them off. She mumbles discontent under her breath. These are more and more signs your girlfriend is cheating on you.
  7. She avoids kissing you. She says she has flu, she has bad breath or she has cooties. She cannot kiss you. Why? Because you are you and not him. These   are more signs your girlfriend is cheating on you.
  8. You find a pair of boxer shorts under her bed. Even worse: You find a man’s electric shaver in the bathroom. You have a beard, a full beard. These are increasing signs your girlfriend is cheating on you even if she says she wears men’s boxer shorts as a fad and the shaver is her little brother’s. What brother? She’s only an child.
  9. Your girlfriend has stopped dressing up for you. She is cultivating a different style. You love her hair long and she’s suddenly got a pixie cut. She’s ditched the jeans and the whole Mother Jones look. She’s now sleek, sexy and dangerous. She’s gone all Sharon Stone on you.        
  10. She no longer wants to have sex with you. This is the knockout punch that's a sign your lady is cheating on you. She digresses into post-relationship babble. She’s rehearsing the breakup. She says she wants to be friends and both of you should release all physical expectations. When did she even talk like that? She laughs. Sex. Who needs that? She laughs again and pats your arm, exactly in the same way she does your cat, and walks away. End of discussion. Need we say more?
