Signs of male infidelity: a guide for the paranoid

Most of my friends are simply convinced that a man cannot be content with one woman, that he, by definition, needs variety. Personally, I do not adhere to this"

Textbook signs:

1. Lipstick stain. This is the most classic case. But, and the most unconvincing. Firstly, it all depends on where exactly this fondant speck is placed. If not on the collar, he can say, for example, that he was smeared with some aunt on the bus. And where is the guarantee that this will not be true?

2. The smell of someone else's perfume. And again there may be a puncture: his colleague bought herself a new perfume and bragged about it in front of the whole office so that he almost suffocated … Either his cloak was hanging next to the secretary's neckerchief … a dozen classic answers. Indirect signs are another matter.

Unexpected gifts:

1. He gives you perfume like you've never had. It's great, of course, but that suddenly your husband, who doesn't understand perfumery at all, gave you a pretty decent perfume? One of my acquaintances, somewhat doubting the sudden enlightenment of her husband, who gave her the luxurious, but previously unknown to her, Davidoff Cool Water, looked at his work under a plausible pretext. And standing at a hanger with outerwear, she instantly felt this cool scent. With innocent eyes, a friend asked the secretary who owns this coat - she really liked it. The unsuspecting girl pointed to the new assistant to the chief accountant. The husband did not open the door for long …

2. He gave you lipstick. If this is not the tone that you always use, or if, in principle, he does not know which lipstick line you need, then this is a reason to think: is he trying to insure himself in this way in case of a classic situation with traces of lipstick on his clothes?

Non-standard behavior:

1. He decided to go jogging. This in itself is very commendable. But what is behind this? Earlier, for example, it was fashionable to tell his wife that he went fishing: the "caught" fish was bought in a fish store (thanks to the one who came up with the idea of selling live carp there), and the "fisherman" himself was hanging out in the arms of his secret girlfriend. I must say that now men are more inventive. Unlike fishing, you can "jog" to your mistress's apartment seven times more often. In addition, not every wife will approve of a trip for fish, but she will definitely not object to jogging every night. On the other hand, there is no need to be afraid that the spouse will want to join the jogging: as a rule, a woman has enough household chores in the evenings. Karina, for example, was very happy when Garik decided to go in for sports. But after a week of jogging, she started to worry. She was embarrassed by the fact that her husband's tracksuit, in which he "ran" for seven whole days, practically did not smell of sweat. The espionage after her unsuspecting husband confirmed her worst expectations: the "faithful" who went out for an evening run trotted into the entrance of a nine-story building across the road. Karina patiently waited for Garik on a bench at the entrance …

2. He began to pay increased attention to his appearance. Another reason to think about why or for whom he is doing this. Why would he start buying himself expensive underwear? Why did even neatly darned socks cease to suit him (earlier he could walk in leaky socks)? What was it that drew him to use eau de toilette, if a month ago the only thing he recognized was aftershave lotion? If, at the same time, my husband starts to have constant "rush jobs" and overtime at work - it's time to sound the alarm.

3. He became a workaholic. If nothing of the kind has been listed for him before, you should think about it. Why would he suddenly start working in the same place, for the same salary, but twice as much? And what is this unexpected meeting in the evenings? In principle, there can be a lot of unusual behavior options. And who, if not you, knows better what is natural for your faithful and what is not. It's just that this "no" should not be ignored. You never know what?

Evidence:

1. Other people's things on your table. In connection with this, I really like to remember one story. Sasha spent a couple of days on a business trip in another city. Her husband greeted her with flowers, the apartment was cleaned. Even her vanity table was clean and tidy. And then - Alexandra's gaze falls on a tube of lipstick, standing among others near the mirror. "Whose lipstick is this?" - "What do you mean, whose?" - "Vadik, I've never had a lipstick from Bourjois - I don't like it by definition" … It turned out that after a stormy night, Vadim's mistress accidentally (and most likely on purpose) forgot the lipstick. And since husbands are rarely interested in what cosmetics we use (many do not really know not only the brand, but even the color), it can be very difficult to understand among the battery of varnishes, lipsticks and shadows what belongs to the wife and what to the girlfriend. Actually, this can also apply to small items of clothing (scarves, underwear, tights), and accessories (earrings, rings, bracelets).

2. Condoms. In the event that you have adopted a different form of protection against unwanted pregnancy, the presence of an envelope with "product number 2" in your husband can be very symptomatic. Especially if the envelope is empty. Sveta and Nikolai have long dreamed of a child, so they did not even have a question of protection. Imagine my wife's surprise when, sending Nick's work pants to the wash, she found a condom envelope there. Then the husband assured for a long time that it was his friends who played a cruel joke on him.

3. Photo. Looking at the photos from your husband's official parties, you notice that his secretary is always captured next to him. Of course, this may turn out to be a coincidence, but …

Of course, the list of evidence and other signs can be continued for a long time. I am sure that you can also add something to it (and your own experience, or the experience of your friends and acquaintances). But it's one thing to catch the wrong person red-handed. It is quite another to decide what to do with it after that? Send away? Revenge? And this is a separate conversation …
