Cheating: Work events and showers
11. You're not invited to work dos any more
His behaviour: Remember the days when you always used to go to his Christmas parties or summer balls? He always asked you to come for a drink with his work colleagues if you were free, but all of a sudden there's been a 'change of policy', or maybe he just doesn't even suggest it any more.
The innocent explanation: Well, the credit crunch is more than just a buzzword. Companies really are cutting back on non-essential things and if that means not inviting partners to anything any more, that's what they'll do.
The guilty reason: If the work invites start drying up, it could well be because he's seeing someone at work and doesn't want you to meet them and create an awkward situation... for him, obviously.
12. He starts taking showers
His behaviour: We hope that your man's personal hygiene is up to scratch, but he may be diving into the shower the minute he comes home.
The innocent explanation: If he comes home drunk a lot, he could well be covering up drunken injuries or something similar.
The guilty reason: He wants to get rid of the smell of another woman's perfume or sex.
And finally... remember!
None of these signs is proof enough on its own that your man might be cheating on you, but together they're often a pretty good indicator.
What you do next is up to you, but at least you can talk to him knowing that you've weighed up the signs and options.
