When infidelity is suspected in a relationship, it's important for the faithful partner to become more aware of the goings on as this will help to determine whether the relationship is worth salvaging or not. That said, there are steps involved to catching the cheating spouse, which are provided below.
Suspicions may arise through some change in behavior in your partner, which is usually the first sign that something may be up. Relationships go through many phases, and couples may experience good times and bad, but more often than not, they are worth salvaging even when infidelity occurs.
The changes in behavior could be quite minor, such as shopping for new clothes, especially undergarments, perfumes or colognes, and other things that one would use to enhance their appearance, which was somewhat out of character beforehand. Other changes could include going out more, working late more, and the partner's behavior with telephone or cell phone calls.
With regards to the latter, there are many clues that can be discovered, starting with incoming or outgoing calls or text messages from an unknown number. Another clue is the way your partner behaves when speaking on the phone, like the conversation seems uncomfortable or is somehow spoken in code.
Next, it's time to do a little investigative work for more solid proof, which is usually in the form of receipts. Carefully observe the cell phone monthly statements of the past and the present, and look for a change in activity. Also, look for questionable purchase receipts from gift stores, restaurants or even hotels. Take a closer look at credit card bills, which often provide all lot of information, as well.
The next step involves following your partner, whether you do it or by hiring a private investigator. If you are going to be doing the following, ensure that another vehicle is used so it isn't so obvious, and remember to hang back a bit to avoid being caught.
It is probably best to avoid following your spouse yourself because it is possible that there may be a discovery that is less than favorable which can cause overwhelming emotions and can lead to uncontrolled actions. Therefore, it is better to hire someone qualified and detached from the situation to handle this part. The professional will photograph the subject and provide detailed information about the goings on and whereabouts for the proof sought after in catching a cheating spouse.
