My Husband's 7 Cheating Spouse Signs - Listen For Bells Going Off in Your Head

When my husband had his affair, bells started to go off in my head - ding, ding, ding! If you start hearing those warning bells, chances your spouse is also having or is headed for an affair. If you don't want to be a victim, listen carefully for these cheating spouse signs.
Cheating Spouse Sign #1: Picks stupid fightsr
Normally my husband and I didn't fight very much. Neither of us likes confrontations so we both avoided arguing. But then he started to goad me into fights, usually over something stupid like forgetting to pay a bill on a certain day, not picking up the dry cleaning or not buying the right brand of shaving cream. Like I said, they were silly but he would get all worked up and storm out of the house and would disappear for hours. He never did this before and it seemed so strange that he did it then. Ding, ding, ding!
Cheating Spouse Sign #2: Is overly contriter
After one of his tirades, when he would return home, he would be overly apologetic. He would plead and beg for my forgiveness. He'd bring me gifts which was something he never did before except for the usual gift-giving occasions. But, invariably, in a day or two, another fight would begin and the process would start over again. Ding, ding, ding!
Cheating Spouse Sign #3: Sex life changesr
While neither of us were virgins when we got married and had a few lovers before we met, our sex life had been fairly routine. There was no swinging from the chandelier kind of stunts. Neither of us was particularly adventurous with sex but suddenly he wanted to try all of these new positions and either wanted sex more often or was too tired for sex. He had never been too tired for sex. When he kissed me, even that felt different. Ding, ding, ding!
Cheating Spouse Sign #4: Change of his appearancer
From the time we got married, my husband never bought a piece of clothing for himself. I purchased everything he ever wore. But even though I'd buy him nice outfits that I thought he'd like, he would always wear his favorite worn jeans and faded t-shirts when he wasn't at work. Suddenly he went shopping (supposedly by himself) and would bring home these designer jeans and shirts and began to criticize what I bought for him saying they weren't stylish enough. Stylish enough? Before this, he thought that Levi's were a designer brand. Ding, ding, ding!
Cheating Spouse Sign #5: Took over the household accountsr
One day, out of the blue, my husband decided to take over the household accounts. He offered to do it as if he was doing me a great favor. But math was never his strong suit and he hated paperwork, so this was a very unusual offer. Then, one day, I spotted the mail and realized that he had a new credit card in his name only. When I checked further, there were unusual withdrawals from our bank account. Ding, ding, ding!
Cheating Spouse Sign #6: Strange scentsr
I have a fairly good sense of smell and I began to notice that even though my husband began to wear cologne (something he rarely did in the past except on special occasions), he smelled different when he'd come home. It was like a combination of scents. His spicy cologne combined with a floral fragrance. Ding, ding, ding!
Cheating Spouse Sign #7: Laundry stains
No, I didn't find lipstick on his collar. Rather his underwear showed signs of secretions that didn't seem to match up with our sex life, or more specifically, our lack of sex life. Ding, ding, ding!
Needless to say, I confronted my husband and after pointing out all of the cheating spouse signs to him, he eventually, albeit reluctantly, admitted to the affair.
It wasn't an easy time in our lives but we did work through it and now are well on our way to a happier and renewed marriage and commitment to each other.
