Signs your wife might have cheated

Let your relationship go unattended for a while and you risk your partner cheating on you.

It might not be that your girlfriend or wife is the type, but a male finds her attractive, becomes friends with her and it can easily develop from there. If your relationship is lacking a little, this male will become your partners confidante and they will seek him out to discuss emotional and intimate topics.

Being aware of signs that your partner may have cheated will not give you ammunition or evidence to confront them, but it can give you a heads-up to pay more attention, generally be aware, or start making an effort to win them back.

So, what are some of the signs?

She's suddenly secretive. You're not sure who she caught up with, she doesn't tell you about her day or care to ask about yours. Maybe she's overly protective of a computer or email account that she hasn't been so guarded about before.

She overcompensates by giving you sudden attention. This may arise from guilty feelings. She may go out of her way to help you out with things in an unusual manner.

She keeps the focus on you, rather than her. She asks about your day and what you did last night, to avoid the topic turning to what she has been up to.

She doesn't really fire up like in the past. When once she might have argued passionately about something and become angry about an issue relating to you, she may now show apathy, gloss over your being late or not coming to dinner with her family. If she doesn't care about these things, it may be a sign that she doesn't care about you and has someone else in mind.

She's less needy than before, wanting less attention or looking to spend a lot more time apart when this wasn't the case before.
