Cheating Signs: How To Tell If Your Spouse Is Cheating (VIDEO)

Posted: 05/08/2012 3:53 pm Updated: 05/10/2012 2:19 pm

How can you tell if your spouse is cheating?

In a video posted on the "Anderson" show's website Tuesday, licensed private investigator Amy Drescher says unfaithful spouses -- especially men -- tend to give a common response when pressed about suspicious behavior (say, new computer passwords or unexplained late nights outs).

"The more [the woman] starts to press him, there's one thing that I commonly hear that she hears from him... he's going to tell her, 'you're crazy' and every time she confronts him again he's going to remind her, 'you're crazy,'" Drescher explained. "It's important for her to realize she's not crazy -- that there is a significant reason why she's having these doubts."

Other signs that your partner may be cheating, according to a February 2010 Marie Claire article? Less sex and a tendency to be overly protective or antsy when receiving calls or texts.

Watch the video for more advice from Drescher. Then, click through the slideshow below for the telltale signs that tweeters say your spouse may be cheating.

I was so unhappy in my relationship with my husband of 7 years. I knew my husband was up to something yet he was good at concealing it. I had enough and had to do something so I decided to see what he was up to while on the computer. No wonder he never wanted sex because what I found was unbelievable. I found that when he was away on business a few times a month he was making arrangements to meet up with "his special lady", and he did this to in every city he visited. That was the last straw and left him then and there.

I do not regret my actions, as I could not stand the man at this point. This was the best decision that I have ever made all thanks to http://hubbyspy.ca

A man like that could drive a woman crazy ... but not so crazy she can't tell when he's trying to pull a fast one :)

cheating is so mean. Just be honest and get out.

Thanks for this helpful guide. Its not always easy to do this also especially you might get hurt to know the truth. But better know it earlier than regret later, right? http://www.cheatingmanual.com/articles/signs-of-cheating-boyfriend

I've been married for 22 years and my wife has always been nosing in my business, checking my phone then going to the phone book to see whos number it is and if its a womans name she automaticlly thinks Im cheating on her but its just my work contacts. She kept opening my mail until I chewed her butt for it because opening mail not addressed to you is a federal offense and it burns my butt when people do that, it doesnt matter who you are.So that just makes her even more suspicious Im a very private person and I dont share much to anyone. I keep asking her why she don't trust me and she says that she trust me but she dont trust the women? What the heck does that mean? I cant even mention a womans name or shes all over me with 20 questions about her. I would never do anything to hurt my wife. Would I be wrong if I said she was insecure?

I look at it differently. I don't get into relationships because I don't find the need to but when I decide to be in one, I allow them to cheat if they want, go out, enjoy everything. I believe people are free to make choices, they are free to pursue their passions, as long as it is communicated and we have an understanding. The table is open for negotiations, making sure we both get what we need and we are emotionally safe. Surprisingly, none of them wanted other women.

Lol that you know of...you made it to easy for them to hide it from you.

I count my blessings. I've had a few wonderful relationships, most of them still keep in touch years later. Communicating worked for me.

I love my boyfriend, and because I love him, if he were to tell me he was sorry, that he made a mistake, that he would never do it again, I believe I would find myself at a crossroads, and I would probably forgive him. Trust can be broken so easily, but it can also be rebuilt. If he really wanted to work on a whole new relationship, I would consider giving him another chance. But if I found out he cheated through a friend or through snooping or that he lied, that would be it. Honesty is much braver than deceit, and I don't date cowards.

These are only my beliefs. I know a lot of people feel differently, and I've never been the cheater or the cheated, but I put a lot of faith and trust into my relationships and I don't question those things unless I absolutely had to. Fortunately, I found someone else who does the same thing, so we work well together.

Sadly many relationships suffer when one or both partners have been unfaithful. The breakdown of a relationship is an emotional and stressful time. Although sometimes relationships can recover from these affairs of periods of infidelity. It is always a good idea not to risk your health and to have an STI and STD check so that you can take control of your health.

There are many reasons why having an STD check is important, if your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband who was cheating by having an affair. If your partner (or ex-partner) was having any form of sexual intercourse with you at the same time as someone else you, then he or she has put you at risk of catching an STD or STI.

I work for Better2Know (the UKs largest private provider of STD testing services), and we want to make sure that you that you get an appointment quickly and get your results fast. We clinics all over the UK and can often get you a same or next day appointment. We do not need your real name to make your appointment, but it’s a good idea to have a name for the doctor to call you in the appointment.

If you do decide to forgive your partner their affair, then we recommend that you both get tested (you can come together) that will give you both the reassurance you need.

Cheaters? Ha! No such thing. This word only means you are trying to hold on to them.
The best way to take care of this is, tell your other half,
" If there is someone else you would rather be with other than me, go ahead."
And say it with a smile.
Then end it quickly if they do, and move on.

some people are just born cheaters......if you hear rumors that the man or woman you are dating has a cheating history...stay away....YOU CANNOT CHANGE that person. You cannot fix a cheater.

I've always loved it when cheaters end up together. It's a guaranteed lesson for at least one of them. ;)

So people can't change. And it's not possible for there to have been a scenario in a person's life that would make their actions understandable? Ha ha ha. Wow... no greys in your world. Stop watching "Dr" Phil...

People can change. But, when they go abusive and mess up in this manner, they can go change with someone else. It's no loss to ditch a cheater.

My ex-boyfriend's favorite phrase while he was hooking up with a friend of mine was "you're paranoid." I wasn't paranoid. He dumped me a few weeks later by letting her tell me we were through instead of doing it himself.

That sucks. I've never been the suspicious type and, thus, never brought it up with anyone. However, one ex of mine cheated on me with multiple "friends" of mine. I became suspicious of one at a point, but didn't bring it up, as I found the notion silly. Silly me as it turns out. ;) It just shows you how classy "cheaters" are. Cheating on you with your friends is an entirely abusive power trip. Fortunately, I made new friends and left my past behind. :)

I got "who me?" with that cherubic look he's so good at. Even when I busted him with evidence, it was "who me?" and the assertion that the person who told me he wasn't where he said he was was mistaken. Ummm, either there's someone hanging around a restaurant after closing time, or there isn't. If the staff says the place was clean, locked, and they were home in plenty of time for the 11 PM news, then, no, he wasn't hanging out there till midnight.

She gave me the "who told you that" defense first. I asked her if she just wanted to come clean because, if she fished it out of me, I'd know there was more. She refused. So, I told her. I then got the "that didn't count" excuse. LOL! Were there more? Oh yes. It involved a number of my friends at the time. Easiest excuse ever to go out and meet new people across the board. I moved on. She got stuck with my old "friends." :)

The man I used to have to beg to take a shower was suddenly showering at least once a day. Combined with staying out late every night. He'd told me he was going to dinner with George every night after work, which was plausible, until the night that George called me while Spouse and George were supposedly out to dinner together. When he strolled in at midnight, I asked where they'd been, and he gave me the name of a restaurant that closes at 9:30. A quick phone call the next day to verify that there hadn't been anyone sitting around chatting while the staff were cleaning around them, and he was busted.
