Have you ever been in love and then suddenly everything changed and the spark between you and your partner no longer existed? Well, a relationship expert has shared the signs to look out for in your partner when this happens.

How to tell your partner that he wants to cheat

April Davis, relationship expert and founder of LUMA Luxury Matchmaking, shared early warning signs that can help prevent fraud, including defending privacy and sudden changes in routine.

April opined that if you suspect your partner is thinking about cheating, don’t hit the panic button just yet.

“While some behaviors may raise red flags, they are not smoke and mirrors and may indicate deeper emotional struggles that should be explored with your partner. Try to resolve doubts calmly and constructively. Approach problems with open-ended “I” questions, such as: “I’ve noticed there’s more distance between us than usual – what’s going on?” – he shared.

Below are four signs that your partner may be thinking about cheating, according to a renowned relationship counselor.

1. Defending privacy

Your partner’s attitude towards privacy usually starts with play. However, if they are becoming more and more serious about their secrecy, especially when it comes to their phone, computer, or social media activity, it may be a sign that they are harboring thoughts of infidelity.

“While we’re not talking about directly violating someone’s privacy, if your partner won’t let you see anything on their phone or just hates the thought of you going through this, 9 times out of 10 it’s usually nothing. But visible distress and aggression about it is a big red flag, especially if you allow them to go through your devices,” April advised.

2. The spark decreases

“Some couples may experience an extended honeymoon that can last from months to a year but end with disastrous consequences,” warns April.

A sudden loss of shared interests, more heated arguments, or a loss of the butterflies in your stomach you once had can be telltale signs of this. And don’t think your partner isn’t there too.

This is where communication is key; If your partner seems less enthusiastic about spending time with you, it may suggest that they feel disconnected or are considering exploring other relationships, so if you notice a significant change in your relationship.

This is where communication is key; if your partner seems less enthusiastic about spending time with you, it may suggest that he or she feels disconnected or is considering exploring other relationships. So if you notice a significant change in you and your partner’s feelings towards each other, but you still want things to be fine, it’s time to address it openly and honestly.

3. Avoiding important conversations

We’ve all been there before. You are in love and want to take it to the next level, but of course you need to assess how your partner feels first. By the time you’ve spent enough time together and you feel like it could lead to something more, it’s time to have a serious conversation.

But does your partner avoid these discussions? Do they seem daunted by long-term commitment? Sometimes these are signs that they are considering other options, even if they haven’t used them yet.

April, emphasizing the importance of open communication, says:

“If you feel like you’ve invested enough time and effort in your relationship, don’t hesitate to start a deep, meaningful conversation about it with your partner. However, noticing a change in your partner’s emotions in this situation is a telling sign that they are not as ready as you and are potentially thinking about other options.

4. Sudden changes in routine

Given that you and your partner have enough space between you, an unexpected change in routine can be a cause for concern. Trust your instincts and notice any significant deviations from your partner’s normal behavior.

If your partner suddenly changes his work schedule, starts spending more time away from home, or feels an unusual need to be alone, this may indicate a change in his priorities. New hobbies or interests that exclude you, or changes to the gym or training routine without explanation can also be red flags.

April warns: “While personal growth and change are natural, it’s worth discussing drastic changes in routine that create distance in a relationship. If your partner’s new schedule or interests consistently make you feel left out, it’s time to have an honest conversation about your concerns and expectations.”
