Being in a serious relationship can be great, there are plenty of things to love about it. You can cuddle up and sleep with that special person, you can go out on dates, talk about anything, watch movies together, laugh, and do many other things together.
However, there are still the few things that come up in relationships which can derail that love and bliss fast. The other person can lose feelings despite you loving them so much, or your boyfriend may start cheating, to name a few. Many women fear both of those or at least one of those scenarios. Most women also admit to being unsure of if their boyfriend is cheating because they don’t know what to look for.
Of course, this is an issue, how do you know if that special someone is cheating? Especially, when you just want to deny your thoughts and stay with your boyfriend. However, you deserve better, and to not be cheated on. You also deserve to find out the truth. Read on to learn about the signs of a cheating boyfriend.
#1 He Tells You He Isn’t Ready For A Relationship
Even early on in the beginning of being together, he may say this. This is a big warning sign, because what you two do together, looks like a relationship, and you both act like you are in a relationship. However, he still doesn’t want to commit to you because he is just playing the field.
#2 He Puts His Phone On Airplane Mode
This is a major sign your boyfriend is cheating on you because when he does this, he won’t get any notifications for any app. Meaning, you won’t actually be able to accidently see something he doesn’t want you to see if he gets any messages/notifications.
#3 His Phone Is The Fifth Limb
Even when he gets up to use the bathroom or order more food, he takes his phone, so you won’t go on it.
#4 He Won’t Post About You
We live in a society of people who revolve around the use of social media. He should make a post about you, considering he posts about everything else. If he doesn’t, it means he’s hiding you from others who know what he’s doing or to prevent people from finding out later on.

He won’t text you sometimes for days on end, or he won’t tell you where he’s going.

He will give you just enough attention to satisfy you, or keep you around. However, he won’t give you enough attention to progress your relationship.
This sign of a cheating boyfriend is one they mess up. They end up not giving enough attention to the point where we actually do notice and it does cause issues within our heads, and even for them if we bring it up.

He decides he needs more space and privacy, which goes against everything you guys have said and done in the past.

#34 Other Women Are What He Talks About
A big warning sign of a cheating boyfriend is when he starts talking about one of his female friends or co-workers more often than he ever used to.
#35 He May Be Overly Nice Or Overly Mean
He may try to overcompensate as he feels guilty for what he has done (not that he has stopped). He may even start acting very nice, caring, and like the perfect boyfriend.
On the other hand, he may treat you horribly because of what he has done. He may even think you are doing the same thing he is. In his mind, he is getting away with cheating, so maybe you could be doing that as well.
A big sign of a cheating boyfriend, which is an umbrella sign to most of the other signs, is that his behavior will take an 180-degree twist. No one wants to be cheated on, which means you may not want to call your boyfriend out on the signs mentioned above. However, no one deserves to be cheated on, and you can do much better than him if he is willing to cheat.
