Do you think your spouse is cheating on you? If they are being unfaithful, do you know what to look for? People rarely get caught in the act and it can be difficult to tell if your husband or wife is cheating on you.
And if they are being unfaithful, there's a good chance they're careful as not to get caught.
In most cases, it's a buildup of circumstantial evidence that is gathered until there's a specific event that provides solid proof of infidelity.
That said you don't need concrete proof, like a photo or video to prove adultery in the court of law.
Simply put, when a couple is together for an extended period of time, and one spouse believes the other is being unfaithful, they're usually right! So you have suspicions, but how do you know if your concerns are legitimate? Could it simply be jealousy? It can be extremely difficult to tell.
The San Diego divorce attorneys at The Edmunds Law Firm have gathered some clues to look for:

1. Is your spouse using a new credit or check card? Has your significant other recently bought a new cell phone? This could be hint that they are hiding something if they are making purchases or phone calls they don't want you to know about.
   
2. Has your spouse recently lost weight, started a new training program, or purchased new clothing? Is your husband or wife taking a renewed interest in their appearance? It might not mean anything but you should make a mental note.
   
3. Have you had a friend or acquaintance in your circle that has recently gone through a separation or a divorce? Do you know someone who was caught cheating?
4. Is your significant other using the computer more often? Have they avoided using their home email address or altering their internet usage? Is there a new interest in social networking sites like Facebook? The popularity of social media has exploded over the past few years, creating a new avenue for your spouse to connect with potential suitors via the web.
   
5. Has there been a lack of intimacy with your spouse? That could be a give-away of a cheating husband or wife.
   For example, does your significant other get agitated when you want to hold hands, kiss, or cuddle when they get home from work when they seemed to enjoy it in the past? Does your spouse avoid eye contact?
6. Is your spouse making secretive phone calls? Have you noticed increased texting, or is your husband or wife now texting when they didn't do it in the past?

There is very rarely a smoking gun and the fact is that you probably won't walk in on your spouse being unfaithful.
If you believe your husband or wife is cheating, you will probably need to investigate and put together evidence before you make an accusation.
