Unusual changes in daily life
Avoid washing clothes together: Suddenly not wanting your partner to touch personal clothes may stem from the desire to hide strange perfume smells, bills, or private meeting traces.
Less or not wanting to post shared photos: According to Bethany Ricciardi, a sex and relationships expert at the online consulting platform TooTimid (USA), limiting shared photos often reflects the desire to "keep the door open" for external relationships.
Regularly using the excuse of overtime: Working more is not wrong, but if the schedule is ambiguous, difficult to verify and comes with avoiding conversation, that is a sign to pay attention to.
Sudden personal password change: Phones, emails, social networks suddenly become "forbidden areas" that may indicate that person is hiding private content from a third party.
Over-care for appearance but not for family: Strict exercise, unusually neat clothes that are not associated with special occasions or common needs of marriage often reflect the desire to impress someone else.
Reduce texting, expressing feelings to your partner: Justin Lavelle, Communications Director at PeopleLooker (USA), believes that when emotional attention is no longer directed towards family, it is often moved elsewhere.
Frequently suspecting and accusing your partner of adultery: Unfaithful people tend to "reflect" their mistakes to the other person to reduce feelings of guilt.
Suddenly giving expensive gifts for no reason: According to Charlotte Rivers, a marriage counselor in the UK, this behavior is sometimes an unconscious way to soothe conscience after wrongdoings.
Continuously saying you are unhappy in marriage: A survey by the Center for American Opinion Research shows that people who identify themselves as "unhappy" in marriage have many times higher risks of adultery.
Likes to go out, live alone: When the need to share time together decreases sharply, accompanied by ambiguity about the destination, it is a sign that the emotional distance is widening.
Adultery is not a sudden fall
Psychologist Esther Perel, author of The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity, emphasizes: "Exile is often a symptom of a long-lost relationship, not the only cause.
Identifying signs is not intended to convict, but to let couples face the crisis early, thereby choosing dialogue, therapy or ending in respect, instead of letting marriage fall into prolonged silence.
