When you’re in a relationship, you can tell a lot from your boyfriend’s behavior. If your boyfriend is acting another way meaning he’s distant, you may need to see if he can pass the cheating boyfriend test.

Sometimes you fall so much in like with a man that it’s hard to see his flaws. But there are ways to tell if he has a cheating heart. Maybe he disappears at odd hours of the night, or perhaps he comes up with weird excuses for not being home or being busy on the weekends. Maybe he’s a excellent liar. Whatever the case, if you see his behavior has changed, you may have reason to suspect that he is cheating. But how can you know for sure?

Though there’s no way to tell for certain whether or not he has someone on the side, there are a number of indicators that may lead you to believe he’s been unfaithful.

Questions to question yourself

Does he avoid eye contact? Do you find it hard to get a straight answer out of him?

Does he leave the room to accept weird phone calls? Are your dates suddenly becoming shorter?

Even if you don’t reckon your boyfriend is the cheating type, these are signals to pay attention to. If you don’t feel like going through the runaround, question him why he’s gone all the time or why your dates have gotten small. If he stutters, probability are he has something to hide. If he becomes defensive, take this as a clear sign that you’ve caught him in a lie and need to start packing your bags.

Does he only want you for sex?

If you find that your relationship has become purely corporal, this may be a sign that he is seeking emotional help elsewhere. If he’s cheating, he may come to see you for sex only.
