Is your partner cheating on you (emotionally)?

Infidelity is something we are all aware of, but what happens when your partner chats on you emotionally? Is it forgivable? Would you be okay if your partner’s emotional anchor is someone else? How to figure out if he/she is cheating you emotionally? We tell you…

Zero communication:
Your partner stops sharing stuff with you and there’s zero communication between you and him. The person who would share the silliest of things with you is no longer interested in pouring his/her heart out. Well, this is definitely a sign that something’s not right. When this happens, talk it out with your partner and find out if he/she has found another friend to share stuff with.

Loses interest in you:
They no longer need you for everything tiny thing as they have a friend/confidant who is taking over from you. You’re no longer the first person they turn to for advices and suggestions. Ouch! When everyday talks no longer feature on their must-do list, it’s time to confront them and clear it out. If you’re the one they have planned to spend the rest of their life with, they better not shy away from sharing things with you.

Smartphone-bound:
Is she/he more obsessed with her/his smartphone than before? Is he/she constantly pinging /texting people? Well, he/she could be finding emotional solace elsewhere without your knowledge. Keep a watch on their phone behaviour and ask them point blank if they are emotionally cheating on you. While you may across as a nagging partner, it’s better to get it done with than think of it all life. What say?

Cancels on you:
Now, this one’s a no-brainer! If he /she constantly cancels on you, chances are he/she is cheating on you, not just emotionally. But when he/she calls off dates to sleep-in at home, beware! Most emotional cheaters tend to use the virtual world to seek solace. Even if you’re the love of their life, they want another person who wouldn’t judge them or nag them about silly things. Take this as a cue and find out what’s wrong…because it may not be too late to fix it.

Sudden changes:
If you spot some drastic changes like, quitting alcohol, smoking or converting into a vegetarian/non-vegetarian, etc…you need to get alert. If you haven’t pushed them around to do these things, there’s a very good chance that someone else has. Find out why he/she has decided to make these changes and you’ll know who their new ‘buddy’ is.
