Infidelity in relationships and marriages is as old as time itself and the trend is not about to change. It occurs between couples and even in courtships.
While the reason for the action (cheating) is most times not tangible or tenable before a law court, however, several marriages and relationships have hit the rock when either partner finds out.
Findings over time have established that both sexes are guilty of the act. It has also been established that cheating is globally practiced and its no respecter of race, background, religion or colour.
As usual, cheating like any other human behavior does not start without traces or symptoms. TheNewsGuru.com presents below some of the likely signs that a cheating Nigerian husband or partner will exhibit. Watch out ladies!
- He rejects food:
A popular parlance in Nigeria has it that the easiest way to a man’s heart is food. Men generally do not joke with food. However, if a man constantly rejects his spouses’ food (especially his favourite) without a concrete or known reason, you can bet that something is fishy.
- Secrets phone conversation: Generally it is expected that calls can be answered anywhere when the receiver doesn’t have anything to hide. If he has been answering calls in your presence before and suddenly retreats to a ‘comfortable’ zone to answer calls habitually, you might want to tighten up lose holes to ensure someone is not about to take your place in his life.
- Keeping late nights: When your man starts keeping late night life as against his usual time of returning home, you might want to raise eyebrow to know what is actually keeping him late. While his official routine might be one of the reasons, however, he needs to inform you so as to be able to put your mind at rest. More so, his appearance and mood while returning would actually suggests what he has been up to.
- Password sensitive: While it has been established that using passwords on mobile phones is not entirely for the purpose of cheating, however, you might suspect foul play when he tells you his password today and change it again the following day. A man that is extremely password sensitive might have something up his sleeves.
- Acts unnecessarily nice: When your man starts acting unnecessarily nice or curtsied as against his usual character, he might been doing so out of guilty conscience. If he puts up this character (Mr. Nice Guy) rarely, you might want to unravel the reason behind his nice acts. Of course, this is also another cogent sign that your Mr. nice guy husband might be having an affair outside.
- Always tired on bed: If your once agile man starts to put up a lazy attitude on bed especially on weekends when he doesn’t have much of office work to battle with, you might want to confirm what else he is spending his energy on. Men are generally eager to have sex and the only factor that can kill their libido is if they just had it satisfactorily with someone else. You therefore be on your guard.
NOTE: The above listed points are signs and not facts. There maybe some exceptional cases where all the above might not apply. The woman should understand her husband and should apply wisdom in dealing with him at all times.
