How to Catch Your Cheating Spouse
You've seen the signs, and your mind is putting the pieces together. Your spouse has been coming home late or keeps long hours under the pretext of work. When your spouse comes home, after a silent dinner, he or she hops online and dismisses your questions with weird excuses... If you're worrying that your honey is up to something funny, and you want to find out, here are some approaches that might just help confirm your suspicions.
But before you rush headlong into this process, spend a few days thinking about what you are likely to do if or when your worst suspicions are eventually confirmed. Are you so committed to your partner that you would never bring an end to the relationship, whatever the outcome of your sleuthing? If so, then it may be better to turn a blind eye to their indiscretions and spare yourself the pain of knowing the sordid details. Is believing that your spouse is cheating on you in the first place an indication that there is something fundamentally wrong with your relationship, and you simply want an excuse to end it? In which case, it is on the rocks already, and it may be more productive devoting your energies to rescuing it or just getting out altogether.
And if you do decide to investigate, be prepared to deal with what you find, good or bad.
How to Catch Someone Who Is Cheating Online
Today’s technology allows people to connect and hide their activities more easily than ever before. Checking up on a partner’s activities almost always involves surveillance of some sort, ranging from carefully observing their actions and behaviors to monitoring their activities online. Your partner may be accessing the internet from a computer, tablet or mobile device, which can make it more difficult for you to monitor what they’re doing. It's always best to talk with your significant other rather than spying on them, however. If you're looking for information on catching students who are cheating online, see WikiHow's article, "Detect Plagiarism."[1]
1
See how they’re acting differently. A cheating spouse might be acting differently in a number of ways, including being physically distant or uninterested in sex; politely distant; hostile, critical or mean; or absent entirely. Pay close attention to their online activity, which might also indicate attempts at hiding something: they close internet browser windows as soon as you enter the room; they demand privacy when using the computer; they spend lots of time online after you go to bed; and they start new email accounts, among other activities.[1]
2
Confirm that they aren’t doing something else. Someone who is acting distant or strange may not be cheating; they may be preoccupied with work or a family issue. They also might be engaging in other damaging activities, such as buying or selling drugs or gambling online. These are serious issues that can dramatically affect a relationship and they should be addressed by you with the help of a professional and your support network.
3
Keep a journal of your partner’s activity. Keep track of their movements as much as possible, including internet activity, travel, late nights at work, ATM withdrawals, phone calls, emails, and so on. This will help you keep track of details, which will become important if your spouse is trying to cover up something.
