Suspecting your partner of cheating can create a whirlwind of emotions—confusion, anger, sadness, and mistrust. Before jumping to conclusions, it’s important to carefully observe patterns rather than isolated incidents. Your gut feeling can be a powerful signal that something is wrong, but try to remain calm and avoid making accusations based on assumptions alone. Look for consistent behaviors that reinforce your concerns. When you feel ready, talk to your partner about your feelings and observations without being confrontational. Use “I” statements like, “I’ve noticed you seem distant lately, and it worries me.” This can open the door to honest dialogue.
