32 señales emocionales de que te está engañando

Is there a behavior pattern all cheaters follow? I’ll tell you right away: yes, there is. Even though every man is different, they all behave in a similar manner when being unfaithful.

I bring you the 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you. Pay attention to each one of these signs and decide whether your SO is guilty or not!

1. Evitar la intimidad

The first of the 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you can be seen in the bedroom. I know that most people think that men are like emotionless robots. Basically, they can sleep with whoever they want whenever they want it.

Sin embargo, la verdad es bien distinta. Evitar la intimidad es, de hecho, uno de los primeros signos de engaño.

Odio tener que decirte esto, pero tu hombre tiene ya no le interesa su vida sexual. Toda su atención se va a otra parte.

Besides, maybe he can’t do it physically. His mistress tired him to the point that he couldn’t stand looking at another woman in that way.

2. Comportamiento en las redes sociales

If you’re looking for warning signs that your man is cheating, the first thing you should check is his social media accounts. All of a sudden, he’s following some new girls you know nothing about. You see their likes and comments on his posts. Not only that: he returns the favor as well.

Pero lo peor es que se niega a seguir publicando fotos e historias contigo. Cuando le etiquetas en un post, nunca lo comparte y lo ignora por completo.

Well, aren’t these seemingly little things actually telltale signs of what he’s actually doing? Your man is lying that he is single and ready to mingle. And if he’s not having an affair already, he’s definitely making plans for one.

3. He’s hiding his cell phone

Is your partner carrying his phone with him to the bathroom? Does he keep it locked all the time? Look, he wouldn’t be acting this suspicious if he didn’t have anything to hide.

Let’s not forget that he gets all crazy if you even think of taking his phone. It doesn’t have to mean that you want to check his text messages or phone calls— maybe you were just trying to look at the time. Nevertheless, he doesn’t let you do that either.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that he’s physically cheating on you. Maybe he has an aventura emocional o es activo en sitios de citas en línea. Sin embargo, eso también es infidelidad.

4. Comportamiento financiero sospechoso

Cuando los hombres engañan, sus finanzas suelen revelar sus secretos. Por eso sería genial que te hicieras con su tarjeta de crédito, además de sus cuentas en redes sociales y su teléfono.

Your man is a cavalier in this new relationship, even though he probably doesn’t act like that in his own relationship with you. He is doing everything in his power to impress this new woman he’s been seeing.

He’s probably buying her gifts, has a habit of taking her out on romantic dinners, and maybe even paid for a romantic getaway.

5. He’s suddenly romantic

Out of all 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you, this one is probably the weirdest one. Some men actually act as if they’re more in love with their SO than ever before when they’re cheating. They get all romantic— they get you flowers, expensive gifts, tell you “I love you” all the time, and plan romantic surprises.

Of course, this one sign can’t be enough for you to accuse him of infidelity. However, if he displays all the other 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you and he’s suddenly become more romantic, this is his way to cover up his infidelity.

Según los terapeutas familiares, esto es en realidad una parte de marido infiel culpa. Intenta compensar su desapego emocional actuando así.

6. Peleas innecesarias

Innecesario y peleas frecuentes son un buen signo de engaño también. Bueno, déjame decirte algo: en realidad está intentando que le dejes.

He doesn’t have the guts to tell you that he’s in love with someone else, and he hopes that you’ll break up with him. This way, he can play the role of a victim, and you turn out to be the bad guy.

7. Un cambio en la rutina diaria

If you’re in a long-term relationship with this man, you know most of his habits. You’re familiar with his routine that hasn’t changed in ages.

Sin embargo, las cosas han cambiado últimamente. All of a sudden, he’s having lunch in a different part of the town, and he even changed his favorite cafeteria.

Every relationship expert will tell you the same: he’s hiding clues because he’s been spending a lot of time with his new mistress.

8. He’s always working late

All those business trips and long hours at work didn’t look suspicious to you? Well, I hate to break it to you, but you clearly refused to pay attention and see the truth.

When you check out his financial records, he doesn’t have any extra money on his credit card. On the contrary, his balance is lower than ever.

Entonces, ¿qué está pasando aquí? Shouldn’t he be getting extra money for all those long hours?

9. Una amiga sospechosa

If you and your significant other have a healthy relationship, you have no trouble with him having female friends. These are women you’ve met and known about since the beginning of your romance.

Sin embargo, sí tienes un problema con que él preste más atención a sus amigas que a ti y le dé a ella el primer lugar en su vida. Te molesta que no respete límites para esta amiga o compañero de trabajo.

And that is exactly what’s been going on lately.

They’ve been texting late at night, and he never tells you the real reasons she’s calling. He’s been spending a lot of time with her in person as well.

Besides, you’ve seen them two together, and his body language signs show you that they’re definitely more than close friends.

10. Te acusa de ser infiel

Un infiel está dispuesto a hacer lo que sea para ocultar sus pecados. Sí, a veces eso incluye incluso acusarte de haberle engañado.

Por supuesto, él no tiene pruebas de ello, ni ve ninguna señal de advertencia de tu infidelidad. He’s only trying to turn the tables and make himself look like a victim. Don’t let him!

11. Un comportamiento diferente en el dormitorio

Okay, we’ve already established that some men avoid sex at all costs when they’re culpable de hacer trampas. Por otro lado, también existen los que empiezan a mostrar un comportamiento diferente en el dormitorio.

Basically, they’ve learned a thing or two from their mistress, and now, they’re bringing those innovations to your sex life. ¿Cómo de enfermo es eso?

12. No hay comunicación

When men cheat, a lot of them go completely silent. They’re eaten alive by guilt, and they spend most of their time thinking about what they’ve done and what their next move should be.

Besides, some remain silent because they’re afraid that everything they say or do will be used against them.

En cualquier caso, el resultado final es prácticamente el mismo. No queda comunicación en lo que una vez fue una relación sana.

13. Es temperamental

If your significant other is showing mood swings out of the blue, it can be one of the obvious signs he’s cheating on you.

Sus cambios de humor son en realidad un reflejo de su proceso de pensamiento. Un día, te odia por existir y por interponerse en el camino de su felicidad con su amante.

Al otro día, se odia a sí mismo por haberte hecho esto. Al mismo tiempo, vuelve a enamorarse de ti y hace todo lo posible por compensarte.

No, these mood changes are not his hot and cold games— it’s a sign that he has no idea what he’s doing with his life.

14. You’ve caught him lying more than once

Ya sabes lo que dicen: una vez mentiroso, siempre mentiroso. Well, if you’ve caught tu SO miente more than once about some seemingly little things, he’s probably hiding something bigger under the carpet.

For example, he told you that the entire company hadn’t gotten a paycheck this week. And then you run into his coworker shopping who tells you that they even got a raise.

The point is that these lies don’t have to be directly connected to you seeing the truth about his affair. However, if you connect the dots, you’ll see that they all had one purpose only: to hide his infidelity.

15. Sus seres queridos le advirtieron de su comportamiento

Sé que esto es embarazoso, pero tus familiares y amigos íntimos probablemente sepan que tu novio o el marido te engaña. Tal vez lo vieron con su amante, o simplemente notaron su comportamiento sospechoso.

Y apuesto a que intentaron abrirte los ojos. Sin embargo, fracasaron. Ignoraste sus advertencias y decidiste confiar ciegamente en él.

Bueno, ahora ya sabes que siempre tuvieron razón.

16. Es emocionalmente distante

What was the last time this man told you “I love you”? What was the last time you saw it in his eyes?

The harsh truth is that he doesn’t give a damn about your feelings or problems. He is physically present next to you, but he has become emocionalmente distante.

If this is the case, it can be a good sign that he has an emotional affair. I hate to break it to you, but he’s fallen in love with this other woman.

17. Conversaciones privadas

It’s not that your SO is only hiding his cell phone— he even goes to another room when he gets a phone call. Incluso cuando consigues hacerte con su teléfono, todos sus mensajes de texto están en chats secretos, and you can’t find out anything you want to know.

When you ask him about these behavior patterns, he never gives you the real reason why he’s doing it. I mean, it’s obvious that he’s hiding something. However, instead of giving you a valid explanation, he makes a big fuss out of it and ends up accusing you of being too controlling.

18. Has encontrado otro teléfono oculto

Okay, all of the 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you are horrible, but this one really clears all the doubts away— even if there are no other clues besides it. If you found another phone you know nothing about, and your SO is clearly hiding it from you, I don’t know what more proof you need.

It could be in his spare tire or somewhere in the back of his closet. The point is that this phone is active and that he’s using it.

Don’t let him sell you the story that it’s his business phone. If it were, you would have known about it, wouldn’t you?

19. Dejó de hablar del futuro

Before this affair happened, you and your partner had a healthy relationship. You made future plans, and if you’re still in a relationship, you discussed getting married and having kids.

But all of a sudden, it’s like he excluded you from his future. Whenever you mention everything you used to talk about, he gives you the cold shoulder.

You’re nowhere to be found in his short-term or long-term plans. It’s not that he just stopped mentioning you two moving in together. It’s the fact that he even plans a vacation without you— a vacation you two should have gone together on.

20. Todo lo que haces le molesta

Your partner is annoyed by literally everything you say or do. It’s like there is nothing you can do to make him happy and satisfied.

Tu existencia en su vida le molesta, así que no para de buscarse peleas por cualquier nimiedad.

¿Por qué? Pues, irónicamente, te ve como un obstáculo para su felicidad. Esto puede sonar duro, pero tu relación se ha convertido en nada más que una carga para él.

He doesn’t know how to get rid of you, and your existence brings him nothing but trouble. He assumes that he could ride off into the sunset with his new lover if you weren’t there to bother him.

Of course, this can’t be further from the truth, but it is the reason he bullies you all the time.

21. You’ve found clues

Okay, I’ll admit it, this might be the worst out of all the 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you: you’ve found actual physical evidence of the affair. Maybe it was the other woman’s lipstick on his shirt, maybe you sensed her perfume when he hugged you, or you’ve seen actual text messages or photos on his phone.

It is clear that this woman is not his coworker or a close friend— she is his mistress. But despite all the evidence, he tries to deny the whole thing. He’s clearly making a fool out of you, and the worst part is that you’re letting him.

22. Te critica todo el tiempo

A este hombre le encantaba cómo cocinabas. Le gustaba cómo le besabas y estaba más que contento con tu vida sexual.

Sin embargo, de repente, encuentra defectos en cada pequeña cosa que haces. Odia tu forma de vestir, critica tu forma de hablar y habla mal de tus amigos.

Aprovecha cada oportunidad que tiene para menospreciarte, de una forma u otra. Te humilla delante de tus amigos y se asegura de que te sientas mal contigo misma.

The truth is that he keeps on comparing you with his new lover. Now, he thinks that she does everything better than you, and he wonders how you can’t be more like her.

23. Sus gustos cambian

If your man starts listening to new music or starts watching a specific TV series, it can be a red flag. Let’s not forget that this TV show or music genre has nothing to do with his taste so far.

The same goes for some new, unusual hobbies. Maybe he hit the gym even though he never thought about it. He’s been buying new clothes, and he changed the perfume he’s been using for years.

Does any of this ring a bell? If it does, I’m sorry to break it to you, but it’s clear that he’s trying to impress a new special lady in his life.

24. Actúa de forma culpable todo el tiempo

Whenever you look at your SO, he is on the verge of tears. It’s like he’s walking on eggshells around you, and you see that he is afraid to speak up about what’s bothering him.

The only emotion you can read from his eyes is overwhelming guilt. He knows what he did, and he’s perfectly aware of the huge mistake he’s made. He se arrepiente de haberte engañado, pero supongo que ya no hay vuelta atrás.

El mayor problema es que no tiene ni idea de qué hacer a continuación. ¿Debería poner fin a la aventura y continuar su vida contigo como si no hubiera pasado nada? ¿Debería confesar todo y pedirte perdón?

Of course, just because he is aware of his sins, it doesn’t mean that he is any less guilty or that you should feel sorry for him. He should have thought about these things before committing adultery!

25. Se ducha más que nunca

When you’re having sex with someone on a regular basis, you make sure you’re always clean and smell nice. This is especially true if we’re talking about someone you’ve just met.

Well, that’s exactly what your SO has been doing lately: taking dozens of showers a day. Yes, he’s always taken care of his hygiene, but this sudden change in behavior is definitely a red flag.

26. You’re no longer invited to events with him

You two are in a committed relationship, and everyone knows you as a couple. Nevertheless, you’ve stopped being his plus one.

His cousin is getting married, and he just informed you that he’ll be attending by himself. Or he used to take you on his business trips but now, he tells you that you’re not invited.

Isn’t this strange? Don’t you think that he’s started taking his new lover as his plus one to all of these events?

Maybe he even told his family and friends that you two broke up. After all, let’s not forget that he no longer posts you on his social media.

27. Pasa más tiempo con sus amigos

You have no problem with your boyfriend or husband hanging out with his friends. You don’t expect him to spend every single moment of his free time with you.

However, the truth is that he started spending time with them more and more. And, of course, you’re never invited to tag along.

Whenever you ask him where he’s been, he tells you that he was with some friends you don’t even know. The same goes for future plans: he’ll rather go on a vacation with his friends than with you. Isn’t that alarming?

28. Llamadas telefónicas o mensajes de texto a altas horas de la noche

You’re there, peacefully sleeping next to your cheating partner, and just like that, the sound of his phone wakes you up. And this is not the first time something like this is happening.

It’s actually become a regular thing. And according to him, it’s always the wrong number.

Or he assumes that you’re sleeping, but you see him texting and smiling. When you ask him about it, he tells you that he is just scrolling through social media and that you’re being too paranoid.

29. Sus amigos te evitan

Let me tell you a hard truth: it is likely that your partner’s friends know exactly what’s going on behind your back. I’m not saying that they support his sins or that they’re his cover up, but they are familiar with what he’s been doing.

On the one hand, they probably don’t agree with his life choices. At the same time, he is still their friend, and they prefer not to interfere.

That is why they’ve been avoiding you lately. They can’t look you in the eyes while staying silent.

30. Repentino aumento de la autoestima

What’s up with this man‘s self-esteem? He goes around cracking jokes like he is the best comedian in the world. He is fascinated by his body, and he keeps on complimenting himself.

No hay ni rastro de todas esas inseguridades que le obsesionaban antaño. Debe existir una fuente de este cambio de comportamiento.

Well, this is a red flag that he’s dating someone new. Consiguió conquistar a la chica de sus sueños, y se ve a sí mismo como ese hombre Alfa que puede hacer lo que quiera.

31. Dejó de amarte románticamente

Es posible que tu pareja aún sienta algo por ti, sobre todo si estáis casados o en una relación duradera. Habéis pasado mucho tiempo juntos y tenéis muchos recuerdos.

No obstante, la verdad es que te quiere como a un amigo o a un familiar entusiasta. Tiene sin sentimientos románticos hacia ti any longer, he is not physically attracted to you, and he’s definitely not in love with you.

32. Tu instinto te lo dice

Look, none of these 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you would be important if it weren’t for this last one— your gut feeling. Intentas resistirte y haces la vista gorda, pero en el fondo tu intuición es cada vez más fuerte: ¡este hombre te está engañando!

Simplemente lo sientes, igual que todas las mujeres en tu situación.

Now that you’ve seen all the 32 emotional signs that he’s cheating you, what more do you need? Don’t tell me that you’re waiting to catch him in the act because you don’t need any more proof than this.

I know that this is a hard pill to swallow, but there is no doubt that your man is unfaithful. Now, you just have to figure out what you’ll do about it.
