Ten Signs Your Boyfriend Is Cheating On You!

Betrayal hurts. So much so that you stop believing in people and relationships. What is more hurting is continuing in a fake relationship not knowing your partner is cheating on you. Everyone deserves to experience true love and know the truth.

We all know, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” It applies to everyone and everything. Therefore, even if your boyfriend cheats on you in the worst possible way and hides it in the best possible way, it still can’t stay hidden for longer. Here are ten signs to know if your boyfriend is cheating on you.

The ten most popular substandard signs are:

  1. Is your boyfriend not showing interest in you? Does he not talk to you like he used to earlier? Lack of interest and conversation is the first sign to identify if your boyfriend is drifting away from you.

More than 90 per cent of the time, when your partner doesn’t make an effort to try to speak his heart out to you, or instead he always shows hundreds of excuses to avoid conversations, it is time to wake up to the first alarm ring.

2. Does your boyfriend appear cheerful, optimistic, and happy while leaving you but play dull and shady in your presence? Cheating or no cheating, this is a sign that he is going to break up with you any time soon because he no longer finds you interesting.

Any mishaps or complications the jackass has in one relationship can quickly reflect on the other one, as well. It is inevitable. So, take the hint, talk to him, know what is wrong with him, and if you are getting unclear answers, run away, girl!

3. Is he getting offended at the slightest of statements you make, however innocuous? The unnecessary aggressiveness may be due to guilt or an attempt to pick up a fight and call it quits. Either way, you wouldn’t want to stay in an abusive relationship.

4. If your boyfriend is skipping conversations, dates, or meetings with you, he might be cheating on you. There’s no denying that staying in touch with your partner is important. If he’s constantly blowing off calls and texts, it can feel like he just doesn’t care about your relationship anymore – and that’s a sign that something isn’t right.

If your guy has always found time to meet you but now seems to have an excuse for everything he doesn’t want to do with you, it’s time to start asking some questions. And if he can’t give you a good reason why he keeps cancelling plans or taking days off from the gym (or whatever else), there’s definitely something fishy going on.

5. If your boyfriend is behaving indifferently and insensitively, know that he is cheating on you. If he’s not calling you back, doesn’t want to hang out, and won’t answer your texts – and then suddenly opens up to another woman the next day – he is cheating on you.

If he tells you that something is wrong but won’t tell you what it is – and then he’s suddenly very friendly with other women – he is cheating on you.

This isn’t just a joke – it’s true. If his behavior has changed, it means that something is going on in his life that he doesn’t want to tell you about.

In fact, there’s a whole host of things that could be going on: Maybe he’s having an affair with someone from work or college. Maybe he’s developed feelings for someone else and doesn’t know how to tell you about it. Maybe he’s just bored with the relationship and looking for a way out so he can pursue other interests.

6. If your boyfriend is ghosting you without any reason, he is cheating on you. There’s no other way to put it: if your boyfriend is disappearing on you, he’s cheating on you. Ghosting is when someone suddenly stops contacting you and disappears from your life without any explanation or closure.

If you’re feeling a little paranoid and are wondering if the guy you’re dating is cheating on you, there’s a good chance that he is. It can be hard to tell when someone’s ghosting us – especially when we’ve been cheated on before.

If this happens suddenly and without any explanation, then it’s definitely time to start suspecting something fishy is going on in his life.

7. If your boyfriend is frequently lying to you, he is cheating on you and trying to hide something from you. In fact, if he’s lying to you, he probably has been cheating on you for a long time.

It’s not easy to catch a cheater because they’re so good at hiding it! But if you notice that your boyfriend is always making excuses and lying about where he’s been and what he’s doing, then that should be a huge red flag.

We know it’s hard to believe when someone we love is being dishonest with us. But trust me: if this keeps happening after they’ve promised they would stop, then there’s no other explanation.

8. If your boyfriend is not listening to you or caring for you like he used to earlier, he is cheating on you. It’s hard to believe that the person we love would change so quickly and become a different person altogether. But it can happen. So the next time you think your boyfriend is ignoring you or being dismissive of your feelings, ask yourself: would someone else be able to make him feel better? If so, then there’s a good chance that he has already found her – or at least started looking for her – and that’s why he’s been acting differently lately.

9. Have you been noticing some changes in your sex life? If so, it might be time to start questioning whether or not your boyfriend is cheating on you.

It’s not uncommon for couples to go through periods where their sexual attraction to each other wanes, but if your relationship is healthy overall, you should be able to work through this together. If you find yourself in a rut with no end in sight, though, there could be a very real issue at play: your boyfriend may be cheating on you.

Why? Because cheating isn’t just about sex – it’s also about attention. If your partner is spending less time with you and more time with someone else, they might be looking for something they can’t get from their relationship with you.

He stops inviting you out with his groups, friends, and colleagues. A genuine and honest boyfriend does not hesitate to introduce you to his social circle. If something is bothering him in doing so, he’s scared that some truth will be revealed, and that you’re being cheated.

10. You’re with your boyfriend and he’s accusing you of cheating, or he’s accusing you of something else that makes it seem like he wants to break up, but you’re not doing anything wrong. That might be because he actually is cheating on you and trying to break up with you.

It’s hard to know how to respond when someone accuses you of something that isn’t true, especially if they are in a relationship with you. But if your boyfriend is accusing you of things that aren’t true and hinting at the possibility of breaking up, it might be time to take a step back and think about what might be going on.

There are several ways to get over the toxicity:

● Seek therapy

● Talk to your loved ones.

● Take good care of yourself.

● Meditation, yoga, and music are natural ways to heal your scarred soul.

● Come out of the situation by moulding yourself into a better and stronger version.

Life is too small and beautiful to cry and waste even a part of it over someone unworthy. Realize your worth, identify the signs in the earlier stages, and break up with your boyfriend if you can confirm he is cheating on you. Better early than be sorry later.
