SIGNS OF CHEATING ON FACEBOOK

The signs of emotional cheating are not easy to catch because there is little evidence. Your partner is not really sleeping with someone else. However, the signs of emotional cheating in a relationship can be very obvious. Always remember that inattention is the most glaring sign of emotional detachment. If your partner is not attentive to you, your relationship is not going in the right direction.

If you pick up some of the red flags of emotional infidelity early on, you can prevent your partner from actually cheating on you. Even you partner may not be aware that he or she is heading towards an emotional affair. So look for these telling signs of emotional cheating in a relationship.

Gaps In Memory

Does your partner forget a lot of things these days? Suppose you tell him/her to buy something on the way back from work and he/she completely forgets about it. It is because your partner is not listening to you.

Too Much Texting

Has your partner got into this irritating habit of texting constantly? He or she is probably chatting with their special someone. It may be harmless chatting but it classifies as emotional cheating all the same.

Blank Eyes

When your partner looks at you, his/her eyes are on you but his/her mind is elsewhere. Do you get a lot of those blank stares these days? They are actually dreaming about someone else while they look at you.

Hidden Taunts

Does your partner use masked taunts to tell you how you are not living up to his or her expectations? This could be a sign that he or she is emotionally engaged with someone else. 'You just don't get me, do you?' is a common one.

Digging For Faults

Do you feel that your partner is looking for reasons to fight with you? Does he or she purposely look for faults in whatever you do? Then, maybe he or she is making excuses to justify the emotional affair.

Sexting

Having hot and steamy text conversations with someone who is not your partner classifies as emotional cheating. If you see such suggestive texts on your partner's phone, you can consider it as a sign of emotional cheating.

Downplaying The Special Someone

When your partner talks to you persistently about someone and yet insists that this 'person' is not really important, it is a red flag. Your partner is purposely downplaying this person so that you don't get suspicious.

Giving Instances Of Someone

Has your partner ever said to you that you should cut your hair like someone or start wearing clothes like someone else? This means your partner wishes you to be like someone else.

Long Periods Of Silence

Are there long periods of silence in your relationship when your partner keeps daydreaming? This is a sure shot sign of emotional involvement elsewhere.
