This is a sign that they may not be staying alone in their hotel room. Even though business trips often include after hour activities, you should be able to reach your spouse in their hotel room. No matter what your spouse says, if they are constantly unavailable in their hotel room – there is something suspicious going on.

Does your spouse refuse to let you know where they are staying when they are on business? Do they call you but claim to have no contact number there? They may not want you to be able to locate them when they are “out of town”. Also, they may be pretending to go out of town and actually be right in town having an affair.

Does your spouse travel a lot? Frequent travel makes it very easy to get free plane tickets. How do you know if their business trips are legitimate? If you notice an increase in the frequency of their trips and an increase in the vagueness of the explanations for the trips, it might mean that they are definitely getting up to some mischief.

Does your spouse travel for business? Have they started traveling for business but they haven’t been promoted? Are they traveling to Vegas for work but they don’t have an account in Vegas? Are they traveling to cities where their company doesn’t have offices? If you see your spouse traveling without any justification, they may be maintaining an affair.

While your spouse is cheating with someone in their social circle, they may not want you in their social circle. To avoid suspicion, they may offer to hang out with you and your friends. This hides the fact that they don’t want to be with you. It’s a common tactic to hide the fact that they are up to mischief when they are with their friends. One more thing to consider is that if they always want to hang out with your friends, it’s possible they are cheating on you with one of your friends. This allows them to interact while you are around thereby avoiding suspicion.

If you are no longer welcome to hang out with your spouse’s friends, it’s likely that it is because their friends know who their secret lover is. They may make you feel like you don’t belong in that circle to mask the fact that they are cheating.

If your partner is cheating, they are most likely cheating with someone who is very different from you. This means that they will be taking part in activities that you probably haven’t done with them.  This means that they will be socializing with people who have different interests. If your partner suddenly has a new social circle, new tastes, new habits, and new hobbies, they may be cheating with you.

Have your spouse’s friends taken over your relationship? Do you feel like the third wheel in your own marriage? If your spouse is always out with friends, they may be using this as an escape from you. Also, they may be using the excuse of being with friends to cover for the times when they are cheating with their spouse. Constantly going out is not a good sign for your relationship.

There’s a saying, “If you haven’t met their friends, you aren’t their girlfriend!” This is still applicable for marriages as well. If your spouse is cheating they may want to keep their social life and married life separate. They may also not want to have their friends feel pressured to maintain their deception. You should be very alarmed if you don’t know any of your spouse’s friends.

You should encourage your spouse to talk about their social circle with you. Better yet, they should try to incorporate you whenever possible. If you don’t engage in their social circle then you leave them exposed to the social pressures of socializing alone. Also, they won’t associate the fun of hanging out with their friends with you. Subconsciously you will be creating a situation where they have to choose. Don’t leave an open door for this kind of divide in your relationship.
