The month of December is notorious, but not just for spending big bucks; it’s also the season for many big breakups, in particular December 11, or the ‘biggest breakup day of the year’ as it’s officially known.

And with Christmas wish lists in full swing, for those suspecting their partners of being unfaithful, it’s the ‘Christmas cheat list’ that’s of greater importance this season. In fact, a relationship health report from hellorelish.com in 2020 showed that 26% of people in relationships had been forced to deal with infidelity, which is why Aaron Bond, an experienced private investigator at Bond Rees Private Investigations, has shared his years of experience and expertise in the matter, listing the most common subtle, yet serious, behavioural traits in cheaters, to help you catch them out this Christmas…

Christmas Cheat List

Phone behaviour changes: Bond warns that changing passwords – among other shady behaviour a partner begins to display with their phone – is a common giveaway. He also warns that if your partner: “Starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house, or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone, it could be a sign of them not being faithful. You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use,” he advises. “If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”

Sharing less: another typical trait in adulterous adults is a stark change in their usual behaviour, resulting in them sharing less and choosing to spend less time together as a couple. “If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you anymore, or they stop telling you about their day, then this is another red flag,” he warns. “Partners often avoid their spouses, or tell them less about their day, because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out.”

A diminished or heightened sex drive: Bond say’s it’s a common misconception that cheaters will have less sex with their partner, as an increased sex drive might be a guilt trip in an attempt to mask their wrongdoing. “You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before,” he says.

An abundance of negativity: Being unfaithful can result in a huge amount of tension and stress, which can result in the cheater lashing out at their partner, according to Bond. “To get rid of the tension they feel inside, they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere,” he warns. “Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime…A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal. If you experience this, it’s a sign that your partner could be cheating.”
