How to Catch a Cheating Spouse

If you're on this page, you're obviously concerned that your spouse may be cheating on you. As someone who used to work as a private investigator hired to spy on husbands and wives, I have a few tips. I can't directly teach you how to catch a cheating spouse because that's an entire course in itself. On the other hand, I can give you a heads up on some basic things you'll want to keep in mind when doing your own investigation.

The first tip? Do not hire a private investigator. Unless you're rich, it's a waste of money. There are programs that can teach you everything you need to know about this field for just a few bucks - A short throw from the thousands that people in my previous line of work would charge. That doesn't mean that you should just go stalk your husband or wife though - if they were to catch you it would completely destroy any trust in the relationship.

There are many new, unique, and innovative ways to deal with extramarital affairs. Some of the most recommended methods involve computers and technology. Don't let that scare you if you don't use computers a lot though - it has become insanely simple to use a lot of these things.

Still, the most important and useful way to find out if someone is cheating is to follow the signs that have been followed for decades, maybe even centuries.

Can your spouse look you right in the eyes after you ask them where they've been all day? Studies show that almost all people will look away if confronted with something that they must lie too. So the next time you want to find out where your wife/husband was, make sure they look you in the eyes first.

One of the biggest other signs of cheating is that they go through a huge self-improvement phase on what seems like the drop of a coin. If your husband or wife has suddenly started working out far more than they used too - they may not be doing it for your sake. Dressing much nicer than usual can also fall in this category.

Signs are just signs though. Knowing for certain what your spouse is up to is much more difficult than that. I guess you could grab binoculars and go follow your spouse around, but I wouldn't recommend it.
