Yes, men really are this predictable. If a man cheats on his wife, there is little doubt that he will display a series of predictable behaviors. Ladies, don't be a fool. Learn the signs of infidelity so you can protect your relationship.
Infidelity expert and New York therapist Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, author of "Make Up, Don't Break Up," told the Toronto Sun the 12 signs of cheating man:
1. He picks fights with you.
2. He acts unappreciated.
3. He becomes critical and finds fault with you.
4. He becomes distant and uncommunicative.
5. He changes his image or style, such as losing weight or buying new clothing.
6. He tells you there is something wrong with you and says you need to seek professional help.
7. He changes his behavior when it comes to money.
8. He changes his sexual behavior, including patterns, positions and frequency.
9. He buys you unexpected gifts and does good deeds, such as chores around the house or helping more with the children.
10. He has absences that he cannot explain.
11. There are hang-ups on your home phone.
12. He leaves earlier for work and arrives home later.
The statistics are cruel and heartbreaking. Some 35 percent of married men cheat on their wives, although Weil insists the number is closer to 70 percent of men. She also says that one partner has cheated in 80 percent of all marriages. So beware if he ever says this to you, which is typically the opening line of a cheating husband: "I would never cheat on you." If you hear this, you'll know instantly he's having an affair.
Elizabeth Landers and Vicky Mainzer agree with Weil that men exhibit very predictable behavior when it comes to infidelity. They wrote "The Script: The 100% Absolutely Predictable Thing Men Do When They Cheat" in which they claim cheaters follow the exact same script. Landers and Mainzer know this because they interviewed hundreds of women nationwide whose husbands cheated on them. Believe it or not, all of them heard the same lines and experienced the same actions over and over.
Call them the red flags of infidelity. Knowing them can help you identify the problem and possibly fix it so your marriage can survive. It won't be easy.
