To think that the five signs of infidelity could have another explanation?

According to Mumsnet:

Five signs your partner might be having an affair

His work habits change - he's out late a lot more than usual, he goes to work at odd times, or he puts in a lot more time than he used to at his job.

He spends a lot more time than usual on his computer and/or mobile phone.

He says he needs some time to be by himself, to "work things out".

He seems to need a lot more privacy than previously - maybe he starts to use a password on the computer, or doesn't leave the mobile phone bill where you can see it.

His behaviour just doesn't add up. There's missing time he can't account for, spending that can't be explained, little discrepancies about where he was and who he was with.

I think at some point since I've been married I've done the first four at least, and I'm definitely not having an affair!

My husband does all of those and he's definately not having an affair. Nobody would have him :o

I expect thats why the word might is in the title.

Kladd :o I was just thinking the same. Both DH and I do all on list.
We've never been particularly close though!! :o

KittyFane · 23/01/2012 18:07

Seriously though, it's when behaviour changes and you get that gut feeling :(
Hope you are ok.

KittyFane · 23/01/2012 18:09

Third post lucky, just re-read your last comment. :)

Bet the poor staff at mumsnet wished they never put up this page Sad

You can only please some people some of the time. Not all people all of the time Grin

NoMoreInsomnia12 · 23/01/2012 18:14

I just wouldn't want someone to read that and go all accusational or suspicious re their other half. No, I don't have any gut feelings about DH having an affair, but that list makes me feel all put on my guard and I don't want to feel like that. As I said, I think I've done all of those myself.

Well if its true I'm having an affair too Hmm. You would think I might have noticed!

Seriously though, in a healthy relationship I don't feel the need to account to my DP, and at times like at the moment when I'm superglued to my phone, working all over he never questions me or suspects me.

Equally when I get a text at midnight saying he has been offered another shift else where and won't be home untill 5am, I honestly take it at face value.

Like Maryz the only other love in DP's live is the gym Grin

he could also do exactly what my exH did behave exactly the same as normal, not change any times of going out of the house or coming in at any different times, if he hadnt got blase with leaving his phone lying around for me to find the first lot of messages or leaving his match.com account still signed in on his laptop not thinking i know hopw to find that aswell, i would have carried on in ignorant bliss, theres days i wish i hadnt caught him out
