traveling schedules<\/a>. These unconventional schedules make it much easier for someone to hide where they\u2019ve been or are going.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf a person works odd hours or schedules that change every week, it is easier to say they are at work without worrying that it will sound suspicious to their partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, if their schedule is constantly changing, why would you bat an eye when they are working a new shift time? If they often work late, why would you question them for a late night at the office?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, it is easy for someone to see multiple partners in different geographic locations if they travel often. They can maintain these relationships online or over the phone until they are back in the same physical place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you know if your partner is doing this?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t much you can do if your partner has a job with unpredictable hours or traveling. If you trust them, you shouldn\u2019t worry that they are cheating because of their profession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you already have suspicions, you might want to double-check their \u201clate shift\u201d or what they are doing while traveling for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. New or Different Friends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Cheaters will also maintain new or different friendships from their significant others. These friends will be less likely to let something slip to a significant other. They will also be less likely to question a person\u2019s cheating if they are not friendly with the person being cheated on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes these friendships will be from before a cheater met their partner. These old friends will be loyal to the cheater, likely to keep their secrets, and less likely to reveal the indiscretion to the partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These can also be new friendships picked up at work or other places a significant other does not frequent. They might be hobby friends or otherwise share similar interests as the person cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nA cheater can spend time with these friends regularly without their partner in either case. They can also usually be trusted to keep secrets from the person being cheated on because they are not friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They may even act as a \u201ccover\u201d when the cheater spends time with someone in secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you know if your partner is doing this?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The best way to determine if your partner is covering their tracks in this way is to pay attention to friends your partner does not want you to meet. Consider asking to join them during the next get-together and building a friendship with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider it a red flag if your significant other actively discourages you from meeting their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15. Takes up New Hobbies That Require Being \u201cOut\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Cheaters will often take up new hobbies that bring them out of the house for long periods. These hobbies can become the perfect cover when they need an explanation for where they\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on where you live, a cheating partner has many options to choose from when selecting their new hobby. Anything that keeps them out of the house, especially in evening hours, can be used to hide their actual whereabouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider these popular hobbies that provide an excellent cover for cheating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiking<\/li> Fishing<\/li> Visiting museums or other venues<\/li> Seeing shows, concerts, or plays<\/li> Golfing<\/li> Bowling<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nHow do you know if your partner is doing this?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Pay attention to how often your partner leaves the house to engage in their new hobby and how long it takes them to return. Check to ensure they have dressed appropriately for their activity, and the timing makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if your partner goes \u201chiking\u201d in open-toed sandals at 6pm, this might indicate that they are not really hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n An unfortunate number of people cheat on their spouses or significant others. If you suspect your partner is cheating, be on the lookout for these typical ways cheaters cover their tracks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These red flags can mean that it\u2019s time to have a difficult conversation with your significant other \u2013 or, they might help you catch them in the act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
