Rebuilding Marriage - Discover 2 Definite Cheating Signs From Your Spouse To Prevent An Affair

Your spouse had an emotional affair with the opposite sex and causes you heartache and pain because your heart is broken into pieces, figuratively speaking. Often you have sinking feelings and is driving you crazy because every time you see your spouse's face, you see their betrayal and affair.

You have the right to know the truth in order to forgive your spouse and move on together with your offending spouse. And there it is important to learn and discover if your spouse is cheating on you to save yourself from any anguish and heartache. The only way to do this is to observe and learn some cheating signs and when you know what to look for in a cheating spouse, you can figure out how to proceed with your life or take steps to contain the situation, and hence saving you from any heartache.

Your Spouse Avoids You All The Time

The most glaring sign that your spouse is having an emotional affair is that your spouse is finding excuses not to spend time with you. In other words, your spouse is avoiding you. Your many test messages to his phone were left unanswered, and they were never responded. When your spouse often comes home late and did not provide any attention or affection, this is also a sign of emotional affair. The fact that your spouse is avoiding you at all costs is to prevent any confrontation with you, which can disrupt their secret.

You Feel More Like A Friend Than A Lover To Your Spouse

Do you feel that he is treating you more like a friend? There is less touching from your spouse and you feel that the treatment you receive from your spouse is not romantic or even intimate. This is a sign that your spouse is showering attention to someone else and it is quite possible that your spouse does not share the 'connection' with you anymore.

This is where your instincts would tell you if your spouse is having an emotional affair with someone else. By looking out for these glaring, cheating signs, you will be able to discover quickly what is going on in your marriage.

These cheating signs are often used to determine if your spouse is having an affair. However, it is also a good time to look in your marriage to see if there are issues with it. Often these signs expose weaknesses in your marriage that causes your spouse to look elsewhere. Determine what weaknesses in your marriage and working them out with your spouse is as important as preventing emotional affairs from happening.

Who Will Have an Affair?

Having an affair can break up your marriage. When you cheat, you break the promise you made to your husband or wife on your wedding day, hamper with the trust and respect you’ve built as a couple, and put your marriage at serious risk for separation or divorce. Still, people have affairs all the time. It can happen to anyone.

Recently, two economists, Bruce Elmslie, chair of the Department of Economics at University of New Hampshire’s Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and Edinaldo Tebaldi, a professor at Bryant University, researched the economic costs of cheating for men and women. Using a survey that included a question about whether you’ve had an affair and many others about various characteristics – from your feelings on religion to your socio-economic status – the two analyzed who would be more or less likely to cheat and what influences their decisions. About 3,000 men and 3,000 women responded to the survey.

Below is a list garnered from their research about which men and women are more likely to cheat on their spouse. Read on to see if your husband or wife falls into one of the higher risk groups for cheating:

Men Who Are More Likely to Cheat on Their Wife

In general, men are 7 percent more likely to have an affair than women.

Men under the age of 55 are more likely to have an affair than those who are older.

Unhappy men are 13 percent more likely to cheat than their happy counterparts.

Education plays a factor. College-educated men are 3 percent less likely to have an affair than men with a high school education or less.

Men who live in cities are more likely to cheat. Elmslie says he believes this is because there are more opportunities for men to cheat in the city because there are simply more people, and it’s less likely you’ll get caught.

What wives need to know: Religion – the belief that you might go to hell or are sinning when you cheat – does not seem to influence men’s decision to cheat. But getting caught is a great motivator for remaining faithful, says Elmslie. That’s probably why men in rural communities, where people tend to know each other well, are less likely to cheat, he adds.

Women Who Are More Likely to Cheat on Their Husband

Non-religious women are more likely to have an affair.

Women under the age of 45 are more likely to have an affair. In fact, the probability of men and women having had an affair is much closer when they are younger, says Elmslie. He explains that women are often motivated to cheat for biological reasons – finding a mate with good genes to reproduce – and therefore the benefits of cheating would subside with the onset of menopause and the inability to have a baby.

Upper-class women are more likely to cheat.

Again, education can be a factor. Women married to men with advanced degrees are less likely to have an affair.

What husbands need to know: It’s easier to predict whether women will cheat than it is men, says Elmslie. There are more clear-cut indicators that a woman might cheat, such as not being religious or being wealthier than most. Therefore, says Elmslie, men can avoid women in those categories when deciding who to marry to increase the odds that their wife will remain faithful.
