Is He Cheating On You? Find Out Now!
Cosmopolitan India
|June 2016
Here’s your no bullsh*t *cheat sheet* to spotting an unfaithful partner.
GOES EMOTIONALLY MIA
If he all of a sudden doesn’t seem to give a flying eff about hearing your lazy co-worker complaints, or celebrating the (metaphorical) goals you hit in the gym—or he doesn’t offer up any of his own riveting news—it’s a fair assumption his mind is elsewhere. Especially if only last week, he would give you his undivided attention. “The first sign of an affair is when they are withdrawn from the relationship,” explains sexologist and relationship expert Dr Nikki Goldstein. “It’s a sign they’re emotionally taken up by someone else.” “Our relationship suddenly switched to focusing on him and his needs,” Srishti*, 24, says of the moment she first noticed her boyfriend change. “I wouldn’t say he necessarily lost interest, but he just started texting less and not keeping in touch as often, then being really vague about what he was doing— and making plans every weekend without even sussing out if I wanted to hang out. It wasn’t long before our mutual friends filled me in on what he was getting up to at the parties I wasn’t invited to.”
