Hey there, my sweet little poppet! How’s your relationship going? Have you been suspecting your partner of having an affair with no confirmation whatsoever? Oh, you poor thing! Fret not, coz Madam Eve has your back. If there’s one thing I don’t entertain, it’s infidelity, so, I’ll be here to help you out, sugar. If you think your partner is cheating on you, here are a few signs to look out for.

They get defensive of their electronic devices

Your partner may be leaving their phone out in the open. But the moment you touch it, they get defensive. Probably accusing you of suspecting them.

They are love-bombing you

Love bombing is never a good sign. Be it in a new relationship or a years-long relationship. If they are suddenly showering you with a lot of gifts, it’s a sign your partner is stepping out on you, darlin’. Since they are showering you with gifts, you wouldn’t suspect them of any wrongdoing, right?

Their underwear choices have changed

People do change their appearances when they are cheating, but a more unsuspecting sign is when their choice of underwear changes. Was your partner more of a boxers guy who has a sudden affinity for briefs, or your girl may be pulling all the stops with her lacy lingerie instead of her usual cotton bra and panty set? There’s always a possibility your partner is switching things up for your benefit. But when coupled with a few other signs, this could point towards cheating.

They talk a lot

You ask them how their day went and they rattle off about every single person they met and they give you a minute-by-minute update on their day. TMI much? Cheaters tend to talk a lot, especially about inconsequential things in order to mask their lies. Of course, if this is a regular thing for your boo and they’ve always been the chatty kind, you don’t have reason to worry.

They have new moves in the bedroom

Are you wondering where your partner learned a new trick, poppet? Likely from the person they are cheating on you with. If you suddenly see new moves in the bedroom, they definitely didn’t learn it from all the porn they are watching.

They always want to know what you are up to

And no, it’s not because they care about what’s going on in your life, darlin’. They just want to know when would be a good time to meet with their affair partner without any risk of getting caught.

They have a lot of last-minute events to attend

Occasionally, a meeting can pop up at work, or an emergency could happen. But if your partner has a sudden influx of last-minute events on a regular basis, your suspicions aren’t unwarranted.

Mind you, poppet, individually these signs can have explanations other than infidelity. But when more than one sign can be observed in your partner, that’s when you need to be a Sherlock Holmes.
