Seemingly Harmless Habits that Reveal a Serial Cheater

Certain behaviors and habits can easily expose a cheater: experts have revealed what raises suspicion.

Even a single infidelity results in a tsunami of lies if the unfaithful partner doesn't confess to their act, which only grows with repeated cheating. In these cases, the other person's behavior often changes slightly. According to experts, there are certain habits that suggest a partner has a long-term lover or has repeatedly engaged in one-night stands while being in a committed relationship. Naturally, these don't always indicate cheating, but they can raise strong suspicions, especially if someone notices all of them in their partner.

Unpredictability and Fear of Routines

According to dating expert Kevin DarnĂ©, serial cheaters try to avoid establishing too many habits or stable routines with their partner right from the beginning of the relationship. This way, they can more easily create a free evening and fit in a meeting with their lover. Their unpredictability also means that the other person won't immediately become suspicious if they cancel a plan or are unavailable for a couple of evenings – which greatly benefits the cheater.

Phone Tricks

A one-night stand is easier to cover up because, in most cases, the parties don't stay in contact. However, with a longer affair, message exchanges and phone calls are inevitable. According to Amica Gerber, a relationship expert from a dating site, cheaters pay a lot of attention to their mobile phones. It's not just suspicious if they take their phone everywhere, but also if they always place it screen-down. This way, any incoming message won't be seen by their partner, who won't notice the flashing light or who sent the message, thus avoiding any accidental questioning.

Avoiding Arguments

In a normal relationship, arguments are unavoidable and often necessary because they help solve problems and make compromises. However, those who regularly cheat on their partner rarely get into arguments with them. They avoid conflicts to avoid being caught, and they often care less about minor issues and disagreements. This can be a warning sign if the other person hardly reacts when their partner starts an argument or doesn't oppose anything and just agrees with everything.

Just Enough Information

Someone who maintains a secret affair tries to share as few details as possible about what they did in their free time or whenever they weren't together. They don't give detailed accounts of their weekends or workdays, maybe only mentioning a few words and then quickly changing the subject. According to relationship and sex expert Bethany Ricciardi, they behave this way to ensure the other person doesn't get used to knowing everything about them, reducing the chance of slipping up, making a mistake in their fabricated story, or being caught by a tricky question from their partner.

Generous Gift-Giving

It's great when a man occasionally surprises his partner with small gifts. But if this wasn't typical of him before and recently he constantly comes home with new packages, it might indicate he is having an affair. Bethany Ricciardi says men often try to ease their guilt from cheating this way and ensure that the other person doesn't become suspicious.
