It’s always subjective, it’s always risky. But there are 12 signs that indicate possible, or even probable, betrayal.
Science helps. In this case, psychology. Yes, because science is everywhere. Even when studying love relationships.
The portal leaves a list of these 12 signs. But, as always, remember that each case is different. And each person is a person, each couple is a couple…
When the partner withdraws
The first strong sign of infidelity may simply be a change in the general atmosphere of the relationship. He no longer has time for himself, he’s not as interested in his life as before, he doesn’t even care anymore. An emotional distance that could soon be a sign of infidelity – even if it is not at the moment, it is an “open door”.
“Tell me who you hang out with”…
Your partner may seem like the most trustworthy person in the world, but the people in your life can negatively affect your ability to be faithful. “Bad company”: When people around you even think that infidelity is not that bad, this can normalize the idea that “everyone” cheats.
Study your partner’s face
Someone’s features can be crucial to understanding whether there is betrayal on that side. You know: women seem to be more effective at analyzing this point.
Online signs, “micro-cheating”
It “likes” a person’s posts, many times. He began to disguise communication with online contacts, unnaturally intimate conversations. Here’s “microcheating”: a form of potential infidelity. A willingness to betray if the opportunity arises. Generally, women consider micro-cheating to be a more serious problem than men. And what is a harmless conversation for some, can be extremely damaging to the trust of others.
Find out if they have already cheated
“Whoever cheats once, cheats for life.” Perhaps. At least, the probability of cheating “all your life” is greater.
Partner Value
From a scientific point of view, potential inequality between partners can be determined by one concept: partner value. It is the combination of key characteristics that make a person a desirable partner in a relationship: agreeableness, commitment, emotional stability or physical attractiveness. If the values are not similar, this can increase the risk of infidelity, especially for men.
Self-confidence in others
There is a link between self-confidence issues and infidelity. An unfaithful person motivated by self-image problems may try to establish dominance in the relationship as a way of dealing with their own self-esteem problems. Or you are extremely hypocritical in your behavior, blaming and criticizing your partner and circumstances – without accepting or even fully understanding the true effects of your own actions.
Different perspectives
When the partner puts themselves in the other’s shoes, and sees things from both points of view, the likelihood of betrayal is considerably less. If that doesn’t happen… Those who don’t know their partner’s perspective are much more likely to at least think about infidelity.
Dishonesty becomes normal
When one of the people starts to leave the road… Worrying sign. It’s just that the human brain has an obvious tendency to adapt to dishonesty. It starts with small lies or deceptions; Suddenly, lying or hiding is normal. And the scale will be different.
How powerful the partner feels
This is the power dynamic in the relationship. The more control a person has over the relationship, the more likely they are to act boldly – and prioritize themselves.
dark triad
Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism. Recognizing any of these traits in your partner can help you understand what kind of infidelity may be coming.
Psychological manipulation
Abusive way of controlling your partner, a very common tool for the type of person who could betray their partner. Infidelity and psychological manipulation are very intertwined. If your partner has had extramarital affairs, it is very likely that they have also tried to manipulate you psychologically.
