According to statistics, the divorce rate is still considerably high not just in America but in many other countries all around the world as well. The social committees as well as many religious groups have urged couples to make harder attempts at saving marriages, especially when there are children involved. However, would you still want to save your marriage if you think that you have a cheating spouse? And how do you catch a cheating spouse?

First off, if you think that your spouse has been behaving suspiciously lately and your intuition tells you that there is something going on behind your back but you cannot be absolutely sure, here are 3 telling signs to warn you that you have a partner who may very likely be cheating behind your back.

1. More concern about physical appearance

Remember the old days when you were first in love, how much time and emphasis did you invest in your physical appearance? If you notice your spouse suddenly spending a lot of time dressing up when they are not going out with you, or that they had gone on a special diet to lose weight in order to look good, it is time you get worried. People who are newly in love want to look good in order to impress their lover.

2. Sudden increase in working hours

This refers to a spouse who suddenly takes to working long hours even though it is not a new company that they working at or that they had just been promoted. However, do be very careful with this sign as you do not want to jump to conclusions and confront them about their affairs! Just take special note and observe more carefully is more important.

3. A noticeable drift in your relationship

For this sign, you will have to carefully analyze your relationship. Ask yourself if you are still talking to each other as much as you used to and whether you have been spending time together just like in the past? Also, are you still as intimate as before? If your spouse has been avoiding or rejecting you lately, there is a high possibility that they may be seeing someone new and it is time you do something about it.

So what do you do next if you have indeed discovered the above 3 telling signs in your spouse? Do you confront your wife or husband right away about the affair? No! Never jump the gun and confront your spouse as that will only cause an otherwise loving relationship to turn sour!

Instead, you should observe more carefully for more telling signs. Alternatively, you could hire a private investigator to hunt for evidence. If your findings prove that your spouse has indeed been cheating behind you, what should you do next?

Finding out the truth is going to be a very painful experience but that means it is time to decide do you still want to save your marriage or move on with your love? You need to analyze your relationship and decide if it is worth keeping. If your decision is to remain together and start life afresh, you must ask yourself whether you are able to forget the past. There is no point carrying on with life as a couple if you cannot forgive your spouse for the infidelity.

Maintaining a marriage is never an easy task and if both of you still love each other, there is no reason why you should add on to the statistics of high divorces simply because it was an impulsive act. Nevertheless, whether or not you wish to save marriage is not going to be a simple question, so make sure you carefully consider both sides of the coin before you come to a conclusion. Keep in mind that you are the one living life with your spouse ultimately.
