1. Keep Change of Clothes in Car

This is how an ex of mine used to come over after work to hide her affair. I imagine she dropped her bag in the trunk the night before to avoid suspicion.

2. Frequent Business Travel

Here is one of the ways my subscribers have told me that their unfaithful partners get away with cheating for a while. Using work as an excuse to get away makes this one of a cheater’s favorite methods to hide their affairs. They could even pretend to go away on business and instead depart on a romantic getaway with their lover.

3. Late Night Job

As you’ll see, work excuses allow for one of the easiest ways unfaithful partners get away with cheating. A job that keeps a cheater out late gives them the perfect alibi to break out of the pattern without suspicion.

4. More Than One Job

A cheating spouse can easily take advantage of maintaining two jobs. It’s the perfect excuse to go off to their other job when actually they rush straight into their lover’s arms. A late-night job and more than one job was all my ex needed to hide her cheating.

5. Secret Email

You might share an email with your partner, or they may have access to it. Or possibly even just to avoid the risk of his/her partner finding communications, an unfaithful partner could simply create another email account. What if you don’t even know that they have a secret email?

Run a background check with Truthfinder and input your partner’s name to find the emails they’ve signed up for.

6. Secret Social Media Accounts and Photos with Their Lover

A fictitious name used to sign up for a social media account makes it really easy for an unfaithful spouse to communicate via instant messages. Knowing all the emails attached to their name can help you find their secret social media accounts and photos taken with their lover. Try out Truthfinder to find secret social media accounts and photos.

7. Locked Second Phone and SIM Card

What better way for an unfaithful partner to communicate with their lover without a worry about their partner finding evidence of their affair on their main phone?

Truthfinder can help you find out if they have a second phone number.

8. Secret Bank Accounts

Here’s an easy way to share money and purchase assets together. My ex and I had one together for a little while. When I ran a background check years later with Truthfinder, the report mentioned the account.

9. Delete and Re-upload Dating Apps

For the unfaithful partner who looks to hook up, dating apps are often the tool of choice. But to avoid suspicion, it’s easier to eliminate the dating app from their phones, and then re-upload it when they want to use it. Running a background check with Truthfinder can link emails used to sign up for dating and adult hookup apps.

10. Supportive Friend to Lie About Whereabouts

If your partner says they’re out there with their friends, who are you to say that it’s a lie? That’s why cheaters love maintaining friendships with someone who will cover their lies to protect them in the event that you’d ask the friend to verify their whereabouts.

11. Don’t Take Showers Right Before Coming Home

One of the biggest signs of a cheating partner is when they arrive home from work clean and showered instead of dirty, like they should. Did they start taking showers at works? A savvy cheater will avoid coming home clean after work.

12. Remove Perfume or Cologne Smell

A savvy cheater will also not permit that their lover’s scent gets found on their clothes.

13. Prevent Someone from Leaving Skin Abrasions

And the same thing goes for leaving marks on their skin.

14. Don’t Take Pics of Themselves Together

If a cheater is smart enough, then they’d know not to run the risk of getting caught with pics of them with their lover. But luckily for you, it happens. Some of these photos will live online. And you can find photos with your partner and their lover with the help of Truthfinder.

15. Use Cash, Not Credit or Debit Card

If you have access to your partner’s credit card account transactions then you’d be able to check for suspicious activity, especially if you can match them up to the dates they were supposed to be working. That’s why a wise cheater will use cash to purchase gifts for their lover or for dates.

16. Long Work Lunches

Here’s the same concept, where any formidable alibi can help the cheater step out and spend time with their lover.

17. Running Strange Errands

Has your spouse or partner ever suddenly had to step out to run an errand? But then come back hours later? Running errands are easy ways for the unfaithful spouse to see their lover. All they have to do is choose something that they know you will not want to tag along with them to do.

18. Plausible Reasons to Leave the Office

Meet up with a client? A coffee meeting? Gets some paperwork signed? Network? If you reach out to your spouse or partner and they don’t respond, then they can simply say they had to leave the office and couldn’t reply.

19. Business Excuses for Change of Appearance

Change of appearance- new hairdo, stylish new clothes, working out- all of these can be signs of a cheating partner if they’ve never shown interest in these changes before. Then they can just say it’s to make a better impression for business to avoid suspicion.

20. Accuse Faithful Partner of Being Paranoid

Many defensive cheaters will attempt to get their partner to back off by accusing them of acting paranoid. This is a knee-jerk reaction to get you to stop snooping and get you to work against yourself.

21. Accuse You of Cheating

Another common defensive tactic of a cheater is to accuse the innocent faithful spouse of cheating! Unbelievable, right? But this manipulative trick can take the heat off of them with reverse psychology.

22. Disguised Google and Other Online Documents

Here’s a crafty way for people in an affair to exchange information. It can work the same as text or email as the document is live and you can type in real-time and the other person can see what you write. But if not live communication, the two love birds can save documents under common names like “3rd Quarter Sales” or “Client Proposal”. Think about it. If you ran across files with those names, would you feel a need to open them?

23. Shared Cloud Storage Account

An even trickier way for two lovers to communicate would be with a shared cloud account that only the two of them have the user name and password to. You would suspect anything because, once again, it could be used for business or even their own personal hobbies.

24. Delete Phone’s GPS Location History

If you have access to your spouse’s phone, then you could check their GPS location history and then match up to the story of their whereabouts with where they actually went. However, if your spouse is privy to it, then they can simply regularly delete the history. And let’s face it. What are you going to say? Are you going to admit that you’re spying on them? Most likely they won’t delete their GPS history so you can check their GPS location history like this on Iphone or Ipads or like this on Android.

25. Delete Internet History

If they delete their internet search history after every time they work online then they could hide their gift purchases, restaurant reservations, travel reservations, ticket event purchases, or dating app log-ins. They could even set this to get deleted on a schedule in case they forget. Of course, if they don’t delete their internet activity history then you can view it. Find out if they’ve been on hook-up sites. Click here to learn how to view internet history on any device. You can also type in every letter of the alphabet one-by-one to see what searches popup.

26. Delete Trash Folder

Instead of saving any of their secret documents, they could just delete them, then clean out their trash folder. Check the trash folder of their laptop.

27. Evidence at Bottom of Trash Can

One of the ways unfaithful spouses get away with cheating is by hiding the evidence in places they figure you won’t want to look. Why would you sift through the disgusting trash can? But that’s where the cheater can bury gift or dining out receipts that they didn’t realize they kept. If they dared to have sex at home then they could also bury used condoms here.

28. Delete App Usage History

Did you know that you could check which apps were used on a phone? But if your unfaithful spouse knows this then they could simply delete their app usage history. They wouldn’t want you to see which social media apps they use to communicate with their lover and especially not their hook-up app usage. But again, they may not even know they can do this so click here to learn how to view their app usage history on an Apple device or here for Android even when they were deleted from “Recents”.
