Our dating experts guide readers step-by-step through relationship challenges and romantic decisions in our popular series of advice articles.

If you have to ask that question, then you’re probably not going to like the answer. I truly feel a woman knows when her mate isn’t being faithful — it’s called gut instinct and it should not be ignored. Ask yourself the following:

  • Has he been acting weird lately?
  • Has he been having a hard time communicating?
  • Is he less intimate even when you initiate?
  • When you have a conversation about the “new” him, does he get defensive?
  • Are there unexplained charges on his credit card?
  • Is he secretive about phone calls?
  • Does he seem on edge or in another world?

Like I said, women need to trust their gut. If you honestly feel that he’s cheating on you, then you are most likely right. Just do yourself a favor, when you find yourself hacking into his email, borrowing a friend’s car to track down his nightly activities or examining his dirty laundry for signs of wrongdoing, then it’s time to confront him.
